Hartke LX5500 500-Watt Lightweight Bass Head with Tube Preamp
The Hartke LX5500 500-Watt Lightweight Bass Head with Tube Preamp weighs in at just under 4kg, and features a Class A 12AX7 tube powered preamp allowing for a large range of bass tones in a compact format. DI output, effects loop, tuner out, ground lift.

Compact 500W Amp Head
The LX5500 is a compact 500-watt amplifier that weighs just eight pounds and dynamically responds to any playing style. The Class A 12AX7 tube powered preamp allows for a unlimited amount of bass tones to be dialed in while the lightweight Class D amplifier packs 500-watts of real, continuous power — enough to make any cab sing.

Hartke Tone Stacked
Capture the character of the bass guitar as soon as you plug in with the Hartke tone stack EQ that has been specifically tailored for a rich bass tone. The preamp includes the familiar bass and treble controls as well as a Frequency and Shape knob that provide extensive control over mid frequencies. The Brite button can be engaged to boost high frequencies, bringing out the top-end of the bass as well as highlight natural harmonic overtones for a distinct, vivid sound.

Tonal Control
The LX5500 provides two essential onboard effects designed to enhance your playing and add extra options to your tonal arsenal. An integrated Drive control allows the option of mixing in a comfortable amount of grit, or maxing out for a healthy dose of fuzzy goodness. Dial in the right amount of compression to add punch and presence to your attack as well as smooth out transients for players that employ slapping, tapping and thumb picking techniques.

All the Ins & Outs
Lightweight enough to bring anywhere and versatile enough to use with any setup, the LX5500 is the ideal amplifier for the stage and the practice room. An XLR direct out with a pre and post EQ selections allows for direct connection to a PA or recording console. An 1/8” headphone output is ideal for silent practice sessions while an 1/8” auxiliary input can be used to connect phones or MP3 players.
