Hartke HA3500 Transient Attack. tube

[Eater_of_Birds]

My gear quest is complete (for now...) after getting a Peavey TFX 4x10 second hand yesterday, so finally I can consider myself something of a bassist after playing for over a year (at home that would be unplugged or through a random PA i picked up months ago on the cheap). Picked up an old Hartke HA3500 a while back and its been gathering dust til now.

Didnt want to make two threads where one was just 'YAY NEW STUFF' so if anyone has owned an HA3500 (old or new): have they replaced the tube for something growlier (or other reason)?

This isn't something i necessarily want to be doing but perhaps worth researching anyway as ive read a few reviews online where people have swapped it out for something different than the stock tube.



Room is getting a bit crowded now with my old underused guitar rig and aforementioned PA ^ ^

I have not changed the tube on my old HA3500, but I'm curious to hear the answers from others who have.
