kodiakblair Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Fella on bassic.de gave detailed review on them couple of year back. https://www.bassic.de/threads/kurztest-harley-benton-block-800b.14869302/ That lead to a lengthy thread about modding them. https://www.bassic.de/threads/der-hb800b-modding-thread.14870766/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the easiest info,those folks are really looking to mod from the outset. What I took from it was the unit is built from solid dependable components. Things took the usual road when folks buy cheaper goodies,instead of just using them they go looking for faults. 9/10 what they find aren't faults but things omitted for deign/budget reasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfoundfreedom Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I looked at it, but went with the Bugera Veyron instead with absolutely no regrets. I don't know how good the HB is, but the Veyron takes a lot of beating, and it's cheaper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodness me that is well expressed. That should be a sticky above every thread discussing lower priced gear. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are absolutely right on that. I guess some of those looking at it are techy geeky dudes wanting to find ways of making the cheap expensive. Was a very interesting read nonetheless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
