Hi there,

[b]Price for this weekend £735. After Sunday night[/b][b] it will go back to [/b][b]HandBox[/b][b] in Poland. So grab a bargain NOW![/b]

[b]PM me to secure it.[/b]

This is the same RedFighter Handbox amp that has been discussed on the [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/282884-the-handbox-amplification-thread/page__st__300__p__3221258#entry3221258"]HandBox amp thread[/url]

This has been played a little but is essentially in "as New" condition. Leszek, of HandBox, says these amps are [b]selling right now[/b]
[b]for 1125 Euro + shipping[/b] from Poland. So this is a great chance to pick one up as a bargain in the UK.

[b]This comes with a manufacturer's Guarantee for [/b][color=#000000][font=Calibri, serif, EmojiFont][size=4][b]12 months[/b] with the exception of electronic tubes.[/size][/font][/color]

The sound is clean and there are a lot of controls to vary the sound.



This amp also includes a "kettle lead".

This is what HandBox say about the amp: (Put through Google translate; so please excuse any strange translation)

"A system of accelerated resistance of carburettor disconnecting the speakers"

A Google translation I bet!

No, it is actually fitted with twin Webber carbs.

For that money, I'd expect fuel injection

Joking aside, this is a real heavy-weight of an amp. The tone is similar to a valve set up. It plays well at low volume, but I'm told it really comes into its own in a larger rig. That said, I don't believe anyone so far has really done high-volume with this particular one.

This is a quality piece of kit, built well and solidly reliable.

Hey everyone

Just to chip in on this one. Leszek sent this one across to me after I bought my R-400, just to give it a run out.

It's a beautiful piece of kit, with the feel of the Mesa M-Pulse about it. I never play loud enough to justify it, but it's got output for days.

Like Grangur says, there's info in the Handbox thread - here's some more pics, etc:

It looks like an evil robot with the lights on. I want it.

Dear Sir,

Your PM seems to have got lost in the post. :D

Still here type bump.

Thanks for looking.
