Gearank Recommendation
The HD500 was on our recommended list for Combo Bass Amps from October 2021 until September 2022 when it was out-ranked by the Fender Rumble 200.
Overview
The Hartke HD500 is the 500W version of their HD series of amps, this one packing two 10" HyDrive speakers in a combo package.
HyDrive woofers are distinct in that they have a paper and aluminum cone that gives Hartke amps their distinct thump and appearance.
Knobs on the amp let you control core functions that include 3-band EQ for tone shaping and volume.
For further tone shaping, the amp also has a Shape EQ control which lets you target a specific frequency range and boost it via a button.
Connectivity features include aux input, headphones out, effects loop and it has a DI output.
