Sculpt Your Tone

The LH500 features a classic 12AX7 Class A tube front-end design with a solid-state output. Trick out the bass and treble shelves to give its warm tone an edge, or use the Brite and Limiter switches to further sculpt your sound. Its intuitive front-panel design also makes on-the-fly adjustments a breeze. While the LH500 is the perfect complement to our HyDrive Series bass cabinets, it also works seamlessly with any bass speaker on the market.
