    Hartke 'start-up' issue

    in Repairs and Technical

    Posted

    I've had the same Hartke 'Model 2000' (200w) head for about 25 years without an issue, but it's now developed a problem on initial start-up. Everything appears to be ok (LED on, fan running), but no sound. [size=4]If I turn it off and on again, it works fine. [/size]

    Any ideas ?

    [size=4]It has an 'anti-thump/soft start' feature where there's a couple of seconds delay before it's fully operating, and I'm wondering if this may be the area to look at ? [/size]

    Cheers.

    Having had and sold a great-condition, stock 3000A, I'd say £600 was a good price.

    Ok, maybe I should be more honest, actually I'd be delighted ! :D[size=4] [/size]

    Rode down to the Bol d'or 24hr in '91. On arrival on the Friday afternoon, I bought my weekend ticket, pitched the tent, and settled down to read through the weekend's events.

    Going by the prices in these listings, for £40, I'd say you did reasonably well. ;)

    True.

    As for the OP, your effects order looks good to me. It all depends on what you are trying to achieve though.

    What do you use the BP50 for ?

    I'd also want to experiment in swapping the OD and the synth wah around, as you'll get quite a different effect depending on which way around you have them.

    The BP50 has several useable pre-set 'clean' sounds, auto-wah, chorus, a tidy Jamiroquai 'Deeper Underground'ish synth effect, and even the fretless effect is none too shabby for a 'basic fretless' feel. It's also used for the tuner. Picked it up on FleaBay a couple of years back and it's definately the best £8 I've ever spent. If I was in a situation where I could only have one pedal, the BP50 would be it.
