Hi guys , What I failed to tell you , is that this amp is bloody loud ( got for bedroom practice - did not realize how loud ) the volume is not even at 1 on dial . The volume pot seems to be on the edge of either on or off ( just under 1 on dial ) I have found that if I turn all the EQ sliders to -12 , it does not distort , and the volume control works much better - up to about 3 or 4 for a reasonable bedroom volume . Tried it through headphones , seems ok . I will take the combo to rehearsal tomorrow night , and try at volume to see if it distorts . Will let you guys know . Maybe I am expecting too much for a 75w efficient combo , to play at a quiet bedroom level ? I never get this problem with my LM800 and G&K cabs in the house - but then again the LM800 has a gain control at input . Pete

Cuzzie and Phil T , Can I ask you both if your Bass Guitar drives the input to distortonon the low E string ? If I put my Stingray into the HD75 , it distorts , even with the Volume rolled back about 30% , if I really hit the string . I have sent an email to Hartke asking their opinion . Pete Pete

Hi All , Has anyone got one of these ? Just got one and want to compare with others , before sending back . Pete
