Feature:
Has all the tonal control you need.
Quality:
I've had it dropped, banged, carried through downpours, and it still puts on a great show at gigs. The carry handle is very conveniently placed. Road-worthy to the max.
Value:
Definately worth it's price.
Desirability:
Definately Hartke's best dynamic and parametric head. However, for only $200 you can get the extremely loud 7000 head, with tubes, and and 10-band graphic EQ. But, if your not one for the complexity of tubes and graphic equalizers, you get the bang for your buck out of the 4000. Loud, good, clean, deep tone, durable. This head is great.
Sound:
I wasn't very familiar with banwidth and frequencies that come along with the mids in this amp, but after I took some time to figure out what which frequency does what, and how much bandwith will do to the sound, I can now easily make any tone I want. You just have to learn what does what, and you can easily find any genre tone in literally seconds.
As far as overall tone, fantastic, very very clean, and open sounding. Doesn't sound "cloudy" or like your sound is coming from another room like some cheap heads do. And also, very deep. I have managed to get a very deep, yet bright, twangy sound. You can literally do anything with this head.
Support:
Never had to deal with Hartke. Thier products are EXTREMELY road-worthy. Never had a problem.
Overall:
My first head, and my last, unless i get the money for the 7000, but even so, for anyone into the bar, and small venue scene, the 4000 is all you need.

Feature:
Built like a tank. Detachable power cord and very well written users manual. Has clipping light as well as protect light and a varaible fan for cooling.
Quality:
Built like a tank!! Looked inside. Huge transformer, multipal printed circuit boards and power transistors are bolted to a "Chimney" cooler that the fan blows thru.
Value:
Worth every penny. A steal for the going price.
Desirability:
It's an attractive head, but it could of have been designed with a metal faceplate instead of plastic. You can't touch it's tonal control, so I guess that's where the faceplate money went.
Sound:
I have played Ampeg, Peavey and Galien Krueger. This head just does everything better. It's SO MUCH LIGHTER than my old SVT. And yes Toto, it has the same tone ability as a tube amp. I use two Hartke 15 cabinets with it and it shakes the house. Unlimited tonal capability and a "Low Bass" control that is remarkable. The toneal ability of this amp is one of its high points. 400 watts rms ain't so bad either.
Support:
Dealt with customer service on a cabinet issue. Great response. Talked to a guy named "Fritz". Great experience.
Overall:
Sastified. Not looking to buy any more equiptment.
