Hartke Amp and Cab opinions?

[MrLally]

Hi peeps

 

Looking for a new rig that I can move easily for smallish gigs. Only ever owned combos before and the whole amp/cab thing is a new world for me. I've spent the last few months looking at various options and have I think settled on this set up. 

 

Hartke LX8500

Hartke HyDrive HL410

 

I've priced them up on bax and I can get both with extended warranty for just shy of 1200. Anyone with more experience got any suggestions issues or any other advice before I pull the trigger?

 

Band I'm playing in is a 5 piece with two guitars. Rock/metal kinda stuff but not super heavy. Playing small shows at the moment but obviously hoping to get bigger gigs in the future. 

 

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks 😊

I had the Hydrive 410 when they first came out and it took everything I could throw at it, I ran mine with an LH1000 head though- monster rig!
