Serious Power Plus Front-end Tube Warmth!

The Hartke LH1000 is a 1000-watt bass amplifier head featuring a classic 12AX7 Class A tube front end with a solid-state output. Portable and roadworthy, the Hartke LH1000 offers both treble and bass shelving, so you can give its warm tone the edge you want. You can also tweak the bright and limiter switches to shape your sound even further. Rackmount it for the ultimate in convenience, and then plug in - there is a front-panel XLR balanced direct output, a rear-panel 1/4" effects loop, and a 1/4" output connector on the Hartke LH1000.

1000 watts with a tube front end design and tonal shaping

The LH1000 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 LH1000'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, rackmountable chassis makes it road-ready

Hartke gave the LH1000 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 LH1000 — it takes up only two rackspaces.

Hartke LH1000 1000-watt Bass Amplifier Head Features:

  • 1000 watts of power
  • Classic 12AX7 High Voltage Class A tube preamp circuit
  • Bass and treble shelving, plus mid-peak EQ controls
  • Selectable bright switch for added high frequency response
  • Selectable limiter switch with LED indicator
  • Front panel XLR balanced direct output
  • Rear panel 1/4" effects loop
  • 1/4" output connectors
  • 2-rackspace metal chassis with steel faceplate and handles

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Rated 5/5

Love it

I tried lots of amps over the years, and this one tops them all. Has a really great tone, and it loud. You really can't go wrong with it.
Music background: 42 years playing Guitar and Bass.
Rated 3.5/5

Great product

Really nice tone. The only reason I don't give five stars is because I'm a period of two years purchased two of them.
The first one was a used one. After a few months the two channels died. I desaides to purchased a new one after six month channel a died after playing loud a little over half the volume.

I also have HARTKE HD410 and the HD115.

Great tone, love it but can't go loud.
Music background: Pro
Rated 5/5

Bomb Proof

This thing is a power house, best amp in the market with plenty of boom.
Music background: BASSIST
Rated 5/5

Changed my sound: for the good!

I'm just loving this 1,000 watt head.

The Hartke sound is much more defined than other amps I have used. You can clearly hear every note; nothing muddy.

It's so powerful (I play in a smooth Jazz/funk band) and we did an outdoor show last week, and I could only turn it up to 2 without obliterating the band!

It's heavy, but good!
Music background: Decades in smooth jazz.
Rated 5/5

Lots of Grunt & Clean

Running this through a Hartke 410 and an Avatar Neo15 (with Foster tweeter). It makes for a sweet, tunable combo that plays down well for smaller venues but has the horsepower for outdoor and theater work. Shaping with a Hartke Bass Attack. Couldn't be happier!
Music background: Experienced

What Do Our In-house Gear Experts Think?

Jared Kalish

Simple, easy to use with great tone. These are the features that I seached for when looking for my next bass head. The Hartke LH1000 delivered on all these points, giving me unbeliveable power and superior bass tone with a super-simple EQ section. I love the 12AX7 Tube preamp - it adds such warmth to an already great-sounding head.
