Manufacturer's Description for Hartke Model 3500 Bass Amplifier Head

The Hartke Systems Model 3500 Bass Amplifiers offers all the newest concepts in bass amplification.

Features
Power to spare - a full 350 watts into 4 ohms.

Hartke's unique Transient Attack¬ circuitry ensures that every nuance of your bass performance is reproduced faithfully.

Two Pre-Amp input knobs, allowing custom blending of tube and solid state sounds.

Ten bands of high-quality graphic equalization, allowing you to create a broad range of tonal colors for your bass instrument. A dedicated in/out button allows you to preset an equalization curve.

Two fully adjustable contour knobs (high pass and low pass) provide further control over shaping your bass sound.

A built-in compressor not only adds real "punch" to your bass sound, but also allows you to smooth out volume differences between notes.

Two independent inputs accommodate both passive and active bass guitars.

Protection relay circuitry protects connected speakers from dangerous overloading, and prevents "thumps" when powering on or off.

Effect loop send and return jacks allow you to connect to professional outboard effects processors.

An effect Balance knob enables you to adjust the relative amount of Send ("dry") versus Return ("wet") effect signal being routed to the speaker outputs.

An electronically balanced direct output provides a means of routing signal to professional mixing consoles in both live performance and recording environments. A ground loop switch helps prevent hum or buzz from entering the signal, and a pre/post switch allows the direct signal to be derived either before or after the amp EQ section.

LEDs show you the settings of the graphic equalizer in low-light environments, as well as a 2-color LED that continuously shows the status of the compression circuitry in response to your playing.

Rugged construction makes the Model 3500 eminently roadworthy. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Hartke products.

"get it and play it, then judge for yourself."

Sound: better than marshall, peavey and many others i have own and played for years since 1967. i just got rid of my 1100 watts peavey rig because of weight, size and my back!!! the sound was not to bad but does not justify the size of the rig. come on over to hartke. Feature: the amp comes with regular eq and an equalizer that does wonder with active basses. the analog tube preamp is just plain what i was looking for and to complement it comes a solid stae preamp that you can use separately or in combo with the tube preamp. a bit of both in any combination sound just plain great. Quality: the finish is alright; the sound is good, the control are just great; the chassis is sturdy and well assembled but the pots and jacks are the worse part of the whole unit. a poor quality pot destroy your sound in no time flat when it start to be loose and flutter when vibrating; the jacks are alright until you jerk the cable once to many time; the jack threaded neck in molded in plastic over the metal sleeve and the nuts are ripped of very easily. BEWTTER QUALITY POTS AND ALL METAL JACKS ARE A MUST FOR AN IMPROVEMENT. I HAVE DONE THIS A WHILE BACK AND HAD NO MORE PROBLEMS. TOTAL COST: $39.58 FOR PARTS. Value: good. Manufacturer Support: THANKS TO GOOGLE I FOUND THE DISTRIBUTOR " SAMSON " AND COULD NOT GET ORIGINAL ALUMINUM REPLACEMENT SPEAKERS. The Wow Factor: what's about making a nameplate that stays up there? the one that comes with the unit have sticky back and when the glue dries out, the nameplate falls of and get lost or stepped on. Overall: as long as it take until my taste for sound change which i doubt or until the thing blow up and then again, i'll fix just like i've fixed everything else.

Style of Music: anything that sells from classic to rock and blues

Sound: Sounds great....punch.....low end.....dynamic range. Feature: graphic EQ is nice(especially with the lit sliders).I also like the fact that it has a cooling fan. Quality: This should actually be about a 15....great quality...built like a tank. The Wow Factor: when people see the hartke name on your equipment...they know your not cheap and want quality.
