Grazie mille Gaetano 😊😊!!!
So cool, Enrico! I love it!
Thank you Reiko 😊🤗🙏
Nice Done! HARTKE... Which Cab you Prefer? 410 HD (new) Or have you tried 410 old Hydrive ?
Hi Tom, thanks! Yes I have tried both versions of the HyDrive, for me the HD version is a little more midrange hollowed out in the middle, with an overall warmer tone compared to the first generation of the HyDrive (the grey panel one) without any loss of highs definitions.
@@EnricoGaletta Thks a lot!!!
Viva Italia et Francia!
@@tomlechat3778 yeahhhh we are cousins after all 😜

Yes

How do you like the lx8500 compared to the lh1000?? Does it punch as hard? Deliver as much tone??
The LX8500 punch is huge, really powerful head, probably thr most powerful in Hartke lighthead Hartke lines. It sounds great, the LH1000 is still mt favorite amp because is more neutral tone. All the ClassD amp feature some mid boost, so you have to always know how to handle it 😉
@@EnricoGaletta Thanks for your reply. I currently own a Mesa D-800+ head. It's a pretty good amp but I miss that hybrid tube/solid state sound. I noticed most lightweight amps tend to distort or lose low end when pushed.
@@boogieman1719 Yes, you're right about your feeling with the Damp. The most notable feature about this new generation of head compared to classA, is that you soon will feel a punchy volume with a small increase of the volume knob thinking that the amp will continue to increase his power til the end of knob. Everyone first sensation is "wow this amps rocks" ;-). But the true is that at middle, more or less, of the volume run, the power amp starts to decrease his effect with only few amount of increase, starting to distorte the sound. Let's say he gave all he got. The hartke tx600 for example was the first Damp in my experience that was working as a class A amp (in the details of one of my vide I attached a link to talkbass forum where I explain it) but a lot of people misunderstanding that, thinking that the head wasn't powerful enough. Let's say simply, Damp run everything they got at the begin, the Aamp are more progressive, the first are comfortable to carry the second less, the first add always more mids the second are more neutral featuring the brand tone idea.
Fantastic playing and technique. Does the amp have the ability to create a tube overdriven sound like the older ha350.😀
Thank you! Well I don't have to much experience with the HA350, but drive control on the LX8500 it's mainly a fuzz, and depending how you set the gain, it makes light crunchy distorted tones up to a full overdrives sound. In both scenario the original clean tone is well preserved, it's very similar to the control on the Bass Attack 2 pedal. Hope this helps and if you have more questions just let me know.
ciao complimenti!! Vorrei chiederti una info.. ho un btb 20esimo anniversario .. dato che ha il manico in acero se mettessi i DC come i tuoi rischierei di avere un suono troppo brillante e magro? grazie
Ciao e grazie. Il BTB con la tastiera in acero è davvero una rarità e purtroppo non ho mai avuto l'occasione di provarlo. Mi sembra di capire che adesso abbia già una sonorità bright, per ovviare al tuo timore di un suono troppo cristallino e snello potresti montare due 40DC e bilanciare il suono con il pre del basso, (se non sbaglio dovresti avere comunque un EQ 3 bande, giusto?) oppure potresti accoppiare a un 40DC, un 40CS che ha sonorità più scure senza però perdere la classica modernità e definizione degli EMG. Ho fatto questo ibrido sul mio fretless e ho proprio pubblicato l'altro ieri un video a riguardo, dagli un'occhiata. Oppure in ultima analisi potresti optare per due 40J per avere il suono classico dei jazz coil e avere più spinta sulle frequenze medie.
@@EnricoGaletta si 3 bande e pickup big single.. probabilmente andrò sui DC e bilancierò con il pre.. grazie ancora!
@@masabb4074 I big single su quel basso hanno sempre reso poco purtroppo, fammi sapere poi il risultato, sono curioso!
eccezionale come sempre!
volevo chiederti se hai constatato anche tu che la ventola si attiva troppe volte ed è troppo rumorosa (per uso in casa)
grazie mille
Ciao Luigi, grazie 😊. La ventola si attiva con intervalli maggiori rispetto alla TX600 ma anche piu brevi. Quando attiva è comunque meno rumorosa della TX, simile a quella dell'Aguilar TH500.
@@EnricoGaletta ottimo, quindi mi consigli l'acquisto comunque, corretto?
@@luigi.zanini è un bell'ampli e se cerchi una testata potente e facile da portare in giro la LX8500 non ti deluderà.
Hm, I was waiting to hear the full stack amp + cab, but whole clip master volume was at 0 xD
The LX is extremely powerful, with gain at 1 o'clock you don't need high master volume xD
@@EnricoGaletta giga watts of power xD
@@Marcink126 exactly man 😜😜
but are you still preffering proposing to buy lx? I have TX300 and was wondering to buy another gear but stronger and that lx looks promissing
@@Marcink126 The LX8500 is very powerful, almost like the LH1000, so it's just depend what you need, the preamp is like the TX600, with more defined bright filter and effective mids
