This is the 500w head that was available from Ernie Ball in the Audiophile series. It has two switchable 4 band EQ channels, a tube preamp, solid state power amp, mute switch, limiter and DI. Mine is in excellent condition and includes a brand new footswitch.
Here is a link with some info on the HD-500: review (in German)

Anyone that was at the EB open house got to hear one of these amps. It was used for the stage rig at the country club Friday night, and it was on stage for the EB artists show Saturday night with Tony Levin and Dave LaRue playing through it (there was also an SVT IIpro, not sure who was using which amp).
