Feature:
Good features: the aural tone knob is very cool, the bass intensifier allows a lot more bass, the limiter keeps you from distorting your amp and screwing it up.

Quality:
Very good quality. SWR makes great amps.

Value:
A little expensive but thats what you would expect for such a powerful amp and such a popular brand name. The price doesn’t even matter… the amp is great

Desirability:
I have always liked the SWR logo. I like the red on the 900 amp. But this amp looks cool too. There’s a really cool blue light that comes on when you turn the amp on and when you activate the bass intensfier.

Sound:
The sound is very impressive. You can get a ton of bass out of this thing. You can shift the Aural tone knob and change your sound to match anything you like. The bass intensifier adds a whole lot more bass to that! Awesome sound!!!

Overall:
Awesome amp no doubt about it. I don’t have much money and this amp hurt my wallet a little bit but other than that this amp kicks!!! Definately the best amp i have owned.

User Reviews:
Feature:
With the Tube or Solid State preamp selection, compressor, 10-band graphic EQ, and High and Low Contour knobs, you can tailor your sound to almost anything you want. Turn the compressor up for a tight round sound, or turn it down and get some down-and-dirty low growl.

Quality:
I’ve had this baby for 6 years, playing at very loud volume. Lots of gigs. It has held up like a pro.

Value:
For the money, you’re getting more quality than the price would indicate. You could spend twice the money to get a comparable head. I’ve often wondered how Hartke can offer such quality at half the cost of their competitors.

Desirability:
The lit-up graphic EQ looks cool on top of my rig.

Sound:
This head is more powerful than its 350 watts would imply. I play in a progressive metal band, and it has no trouble cutting through two guitars and a double-bass drummer.

Ease of Use:
Definitely user friendly. Easy to find your preferences for sound.

Support:
I called Hartke once with a question. They were efficient.

Overall:
One thing I don’t understand…I have the Hartke 3500 head hooked up to two Hartke cabinets: 410 XL and the 215 XL cabs. I turn the volume only to the 9:00 position (Level 2) and the rig is unbelievably loud with tons of overhead. You would think I was pumping 800 watts! I don’t get it…!

The Hartke Kilo raises the standard for bass amplification. Developed with the HyDrive speakers in mind, this amp provides the power and tone capabilities to drive our revolutionary cabs, with enough versatility to work with any other cabinet on the market. Packed with an amazing feature set and power to spare, the Kilo is the bass head that discerning players demanded. Two separate power blocks deliver a true 1,000 watts at 4 ohms in bridged mono or 500 watts per side in either stereo or dual mono.
