500 watts with a tube front-end design and tonal shaping

The LH500 features a classic 12AX7 Class A tube front-end design with a solid-state output. It's designed to drive the Hartke HyDrive cabs, but it offers up more than enough power and tone control to drive whatever cabinet you want. Shape the LH500's warm sound using the treble and bass shelving. You'll also enjoy getting your hands on bright and limiter switches for further control.

Rugged metal, rack-mountable chassis is ready for the road

Hartke gave the LH500 a rugged metal chassis and added a steel faceplate and handles, so it's ready to take whatever kind of abuse you can dish out. For the most convenience in getting to the gig and back, you can rackmount the Hartke LH500 - it takes up only two rack spaces.
