Handbox Audio WB-100 - new 120w tube head (pics)

[doudoubass 6]

Hi, i've just got this new rig to replace my old Ampeg V4 stack. Weight and size become a problem for me, si i've to downsize a bit!

I was sceptical at first but after a few hours of play at home, the sound is now warmer even if it's more modern than the V4.

I've still  to try it on next monday at rehearsal, to see if the Bf 210 is enough as a one cab solution to play loud with this amp, or if i've to catch a bigger cab like the super twin...

I like everything about that picture great bass, cab and valve head.

Very  interesting it’s sits on the Two 10 perfectly with no overhang.

They could have been designed for each other!

I bet it sounds pretty good, too...!

Is the top of that barefaced (ie, the right hand side on that picture) supposed to be like that, like it has been cut out of something and not matching the bottom?

I can assure you that a vintage G&l is always a match in heaven with a good tube head!

I really like the look of that G&L. I'll have to try one sometime.

Yes. All the X10 series are like that with their metal grille:)

Thanks wateroftyne ans basschat to help me to find such a fine lightweight full valves amp!

A bit confused by his confusion of the use of the 'stand-by'!

I've only got one side handle on mine - not two like the one in the clip . Same case and all .

Not sure if it's because it enables me to stand in up sideways for a bit , or it was sent out unfinished ?

TBH I'm sourcing rubber feet to add to one end as you can't stand it on its end, even temporarily when putting in car etc.
