    MIke sold me an SR500, he was kind enough to hold on to it for a bit until I had the ackers together, bless him. Straight deal all the way,  came really well packaged too, you can tell when someone cares about what they do

    Thanks for a nice playing instrument Mike, good price too

    All the best

    I’m not sure that I really understand what you (and apparently Leszek) are getting at here. I don’t see how having controls for mids is a tonal sacrifice! The main selling point about the Handbox is its core sound (as well as it being a powerful amp in a compact package), whereas its drawback is a rather limited EQ section. I am getting to grips with it more, but am finding myself boosting the bass and cutting the treble more than I am used, which is not a problem in itself but something I don’t find intuitive after using a 5 band semi parametric EQ.

    I am aware that there are bound to be compromises in such a compact amp and I am getting used to the EQ section and starting to get better results. Perhaps it should be noted the guys in the guitar based rock covers band love it, but less so with those in the tribute band complete with loads of keys – they seem to prefer the Mesa

     I'm really curious about this amp. On the topic of reducing the mids by raising the bass and treble, does this create boom or notable bottom end bloom from the bass control and zing (or something like it) from the higher treble setting ? 

    I guess I'm used to parametrics where one range can be adjusted without messing about with the rest

    Thanks all
