    I once met a guy who...

    I worked with a mechanic named Richard Kumm, Great guy. We had a Urologist in the area, now retired, named Dr. Peter Hacker. That one still gets me. A dentist last name Crewel. My family had a hard time talking my brother out of naming his son Marshal, our last name is Arts. He's a great kid...

    Where Were You?

    I was still in the parking lot at Alpine Valley drinking a beer when Steve Ray Vaughn died. We never heard the crash it happened two hills over. It was one great show. That night had the worst pea soup fog I have ever seen, I don't understand why anyone would try to fly. I won a pair of tickets...

    Kids These Days

    Not currently, sold everything about 15 years ago. Got that itch, and just getting back into It. TB has been a godsend of useful info. There really are a ton of good musicians in the area, however not many good venues. You need to go out of the way some times. One piece of advice if you like...

    I don't know him, but I've met him. I have seen the Lizards play a few times over the years, sound good.

    Are all Hartke HA3500's junk?

    Well it took some time to reply to my post and this is what I know so far. I sent the amp to Hartke and it took about two weeks for them to get to it. The first phone call a service tech told me that they couldn't find anything wrong with it, It was working like it should. But they were...

    Are all Hartke HA3500's junk?

    I have a monster cable, could that be defective? I'm going to call Mr. Hartke in the morning and see what he can tell me, I'll post my results. I'm very impressed that he found my post and is willing to help even after I've been ripping on this amp some.

    Are all Hartke HA3500's junk?

    I always ran my pre's at 6 tube (2 o'clock) and 4 ss (10 o'clock). I had my original 3500 mosfet for quite a few years, I was very familiar with it. Last night I played around with this HA3500 again, I ran the pre-amps at 2 and 10 and the master up to 8 (almost full on). And the volume was a...

    Are all Hartke HA3500's junk?

    My cab is 8 ohm. I have plans to add another 8 ohm cab latter. Or I would have if I didn't need to buy a new amp. And I borrowed a friends amp to see if it was the Avatar 210, nope, the cab rocks. It is the HA3500, it is pitiful and week. I've considered sending it in to Hartke for repairs. I'm...

    Are all Hartke HA3500's junk?

    The problem is "b" clean but no power. Everything works, no problems that I, or the tech, could find. I'll have to call hartke again, because they were so helpful the first time, and ask for the specks for the master pot. It may not be working correctly. And I've checked into the efficiency...

    Are all Hartke HA3500's junk?

    It is not about the speakers. Even when I ran my original 3500 with a single Eden 210 cab it would rattle the windows. I just tried the new ha3500 on 8 and it still wouldn't be heard in practice, nothing there. I've heard the neo's can be power hungry but I can't any presence at all.
