Any news on a new batch of R400s - I'm guessing they're still some time off?

I'm in dialogue with Leszek now and again as i'm on the list for an R400.. I sent a mail yetserday with this question, so I will let you know as when i get a reply..

600 & 240.

The old contour control cutting at 1K... 

....and down in the annals of history will go the debate of which sounds better 

You ought to check out the Hanndbox R400. weighs 10kg, so though not in class D territory it is still a one hand lift... the upside is theR 400 has a ´full plate´ 3x 12AX7 pre amp, with a modern toroidal transformer solid state output at 400W. Hand built amp for about 500 quid.

Weeeell.. it kind-of is, I guess.

 

They started off in the early 90s building audio solutions (and flight cases) for the - very Polish - Disco Polo scene, which was a street thing and needed all-in-one stuff that was easily portable.

Nice bit of history... I shall remember that whilst demonstrating the excellence of my new amp to (better be) enthusiastic band mates..

This was actually one of the first bits of feedback I gave him back in the day. I think it's a good move.

 

Yeah, it’s a name that’s easy to remember and is more distinctive. Good move

Too many people enquiring about Harley Bentons?

Lol... this is why he has reverted his branding to the full 'Handbox' name

I think I

Did Leszek say the name has gone back to Handbox rather than HB ?

Not seen anything in the pics i've seen so far. ?

Not that it bothers me too much .... just curious as to how its gonna look in the final product.

picked up from a PM with Leszek

......meanwhile the R400s wait patiently for the wave of WB 100's to be completed.. 

And the logo is back to the older 'Handbox' instead of 'HB', nice touch 

I wish we could get a statement regarding the electronic changes. I committed to an R400 regardless, but it would be nice to know what we're getting.

Sorry for my ignorance - is this Class D or solid state?

In the only demo video i found (for the 12 band 600) Phil Mann describes it as solid state 'with a big old transformer' in the back..

Hi, sorry for the delayed reply. Yes! It's a 4ohm head, so it's actually ideal for a two 8ohm cab rig.

No worries.. Very little info on these.. spec etc.. I read on TB a suggestion that Cabs would need to be daisy chained? But i guess the speakon and Jack out put will each take an 8ohm cab?

Supprisingly few demo vids also.. wierd

Hmmm.. very tempting. 
What are the width and depth dimensions? 
And do you (or anyone) know if these can be removed from the case?

cheers

Can you run Two 8ohm Cabs? 

Poor guy, without knowing him, we can only wish him well. I recently picked up a couple of 1126 cabs used, and I’m so glad I did. They are fantastic cabs that I won’t sell in a hurry. Shame they are out of production. Quality gear..

Completely new amplifiers are being created from the electronic side

Begs the question to what end and why?

Can’t decide… black or white pick guard 🤔

If using an ABY box, i’ve read to be sure to Get one with isolated loop/channels because of this very issue. 
thanks for the feedback

Yeah, mine is for experimenting as part of a two piece thing so will be combined with octave up and distortion/fuzz for the ‘guitar’ element of the sound.

To revive an old thread, but how did you get on. Considering the same set up just now for a bit of fun and a couple of songs in the set. Did you get a reasonable result?

I have an idea but I'm saying nowt 😄

I only hope it's an improvement and not some necessary compromise or departure from the current much loved design and tone... I'm in comms with Leszek and committed to place an order for an R400 as soon as he taking orders again...so i guess i'll find out soon enough.

Giving these another bump as Mr Foya is a great seller. I picked up a couple of TKSs from him. Deal with confidence here folks. And these GS look lovely

Pre-amp changes on the horizon for Handbox amps. I have no real details other than that they are being worked on. Anyone have any info..?

I was in the market for TKS before i picked up a couple of beautiful 1126s here from the classifieds.

My enquires to TKS over the last months were not answered. I used email to contact as i don't use any social media.

Maybe they reply to Facebook and the like...

out if interest, what is the power delivery of the amp at 4 and 8 Ohms?

Shucks, this is a resurrectied post. Thought it was current and my chance had arrived lol.. oh well..
