I absolutely LOVE my HA3500. It has been beat up so badly over the years that it has developed a high frequency buzz that's super annoying, but I'm likely going to replace it with a HA5500. I also own a SVT-3 Pro, and I find the HA3500 suits my tonal preferences much better. If it weren't for the annoying signal noise in the 3500, I'd keep using it forever. I just can't get the tone I want out of the 3 Pro. If you want punch, the HA3500 is where its at.I chose a hartke HA3500 over the lh500 a couple years ago and loved that amp. Not as much as my svt cl now but it could push a 410hlf with more than enough volume for 2 guitars in a doom metal band. And the tone was extremely versatile with the graphic eq and very tubey.
Orange Bass Terror 500 if you want to get a nasty sound.
Shuttle6 or 6.2 if you can find one?
Any other suggestions are more then helpfulThanks
Fusion. It has all the sounds of the MB500 and then some.Hmmmm MB 500 vs Fusion....which one ?I'm so inclined to hit the BUY for the MB500...
