Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
Very good "PRO" tone that sounds good at low or high levels..very BIG sounding cab..very accurate and tight bass....NOT floppy or brittle!...it handles de-tuned(1 whole step) bass very well also with no problems(cab unloading)....it does NOT lose its cool!
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
This the only weak point I had to re-glue some tolex that was lifting on the rear of the cab, but hardware is solid + very good...Hartke should use better adhesives for the covering(vinyl)

The ability to switch between 4 and 8 Ohms is great. It works well by itself, or with mt VX 115 Cab. Did I tell you how light it is. It is very light. I am talking one hand carrying light.

How is its Tone?
Tone is Good. I like the tweeter switch. If you use it with a Cab with 15 inch woofer, this this is killer. I want to get the HyDrive with the 15. Buy one !! Try one. Lean with it Rock with It !!
