30 years ago I bought a Hartke 350 watt 2x10 combo to take on tour. A speaker went, then the power converter, then another speaker. short story shorter, Hartke had replacement parts waiting for me at my next gigs, free. I was a nobody with 4 of my nobody friends in a shitty old van and Hartke did that for me, a nobody. best service ever!

3:02 old Hartkes used to use standard PC fans like you'd find in a computer. Very cheap and very loud, but also very easy to replace! Many years ago I yanked the loud fan out of my Model 2500 and plugged in some wacky light-up blue one I got at Micro Center. Dead silent, and now my amp glows blue!

I like to imagine that Gregor as a kid:

Other kid: “I found a dead Raccoon.”
Young Gregor: “Let’s check it out!”

The amp sounds great too.

Back in the 80's I had the quintessential NYC gigging combo: a GK 400RB running through a Hartke 410XL cab. First saw Jaco using that cabinet at a gig in NYC (it didn't have the Hartke name on it yet so it must have been an early proto? But the aluminum speaker cones were unmistakable)), and within months everyone in New York was using that combo. Killer punchy, tight combo. Fast forward 35 years later after using Eden exclusively and I wanted a small, powerful lightweight combo amp for smaller dates and picked up the Hartke HD500. Wow! I love it. Now I'm looking for a lightweight, rack mountable head that won't break my back or bank and I won't be sleeping on this Hartke head.

Guten Tag Gregor! Thank you for this video, I have wanted to pull the trigger on this amp and some HyDrive cabs for a bit now and I could not find any decent videos that really showcased the features and tone. So, I greatly appreciate your effort in doing so. Danke und hat ein fantastisches Wochenende!

Man, is that Yamaha girthy! I love it! Great fretles too. Not usually a fan of the Hartkes but this was surprisingly pleasant!

That amp sounds awesome. \m/ I’m a big fan of hartke amps and this is a really good sounding amp. I am considering purchasing one. Also that Yamaha bass looks pretty cool.

Klasse! Gregor, would you perhaps do a video on the tone difference between speaker/cab sizes (10'' - 12'' - 15'' - 2x12 - 4x10 etc).
