maidens97 Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 (edited) Very interested to see if these are any good. New heads, combos and cabs! The 810 for £299 has my interest https://harleybenton.com/amps/ Edited September 4, 2020 by maidens97 1 Quote
stewblack Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 As everyone knows I am getting as much HB stuff as possible before the drawbridge is pulled up and we can't buy from the continent any more. However I have no room for any more cabs, dammit! 1 1 1 Quote
fretmeister Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 This is very interesting. Their Vintage G212 guitar cab is superb - and it's cheaper than just buying a pair of Celestion V30 cones alone! Quote
stewblack Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 Like the look of the solid state heads as well. 2 Quote
Nibody Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 From what I can see (looking at the 4x10 version) its basically the old 410T (one of which I just sold) but with grill cloth instead of metal, Tolex instead of Carpet and metal corners instead of plastic? Quote
Beer of the Bass Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 (edited) An 8x10“ with just a pair of side handles, no tilt-back castors and bar handle? It looks like good value, but I suspect not that many will end up being moved around and gigged! Edited September 4, 2020 by Beer of the Bass Quote
Chienmortbb Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 (edited) The amps have a bit of the Ashdown look and most of the Toneman range are now on 3 months delivery, often a sign of discontinuation. No lightweights though. The 300W is heavier than the Toneman 300W. Edited September 4, 2020 by Chienmortbb Quote

Well, if you want to wait for my review before you buy I'm afraid it'll be a few weeks. Dog needs an operation so I'm watching the pennies. 1 1 Quote

JohnDaBass Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 The range seems to have some Ashdown characteristics, maybe they are acting as a design consultancy. £248 appears to be very competitive for 600 watts. I wonder what the quality and reliability will be like. Got to say though that the HB Block 800 at £266 appeals to me as a backup. Quote

There appear to be TWO fans. Great for those cold winter evening rehearsal sessions. Quote

Baloney Balderdash Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 (edited) I would be concerned about the frequency response of those new cabs, they are rated to only go down to 60Hz, even the 15" one, their old, now out of production ones, as far as I recall it, were rated to go down to 35Hz.
