Bass Amplifier
Long Haul
Big amp feel. Built to travel.
Some bass sounds make you play another song. Long Haul is built for that feeling: a deep, solid foundation, a little valve warmth and enough definition to give every note its place. Settle into a clean groove, bring out the edge with Brite, or turn up the amp for more bite. Then find the cabinet and microphone blend that makes the part feel at home, from the first quiet take to the last chorus.
Based on
Hartke LH1000
Inspired by the Hartke LH1000 and HyDrive 115 1×15 cabinet, Long Haul brings the feel of a substantial bass rig to your session or pedalboard. Its amplifier model follows the original schematic, from the 12AX7 valve preamp and interacting tone controls through the limiter and power amp. The optional cabinet stage draws on captures of the real rig, with ten microphone choices to take the sound from rounded and full to focused and forward. Familiar controls keep the process simple: plug in, find your sound and get on with the part.

Inside the processor
Controls with a purpose.
Warmth with a backbone
A modelled 12AX7 preamp and power amp give each note body and bite, with more character as you lean into the Volume control.
Dial it by feel
Shape the sound with Bass, Mid and Treble, add definition with Brite, and switch in the limiter to keep stronger peaks in check.
The weight of a 1×15
Bring in the captured character of a HyDrive 115 cabinet, or switch the cabinet stage out to use your own cab processing.
Ten microphone voices
Explore ten microphone choices, on-axis and off-axis positions, and a Proximity control that shapes the low-end focus.
Find your balance
Blend the direct amplifier signal with the mic'd cabinet to balance immediacy and depth, from a clear foundation to a full cabinet sound.
