  "I've been searching for an amp that will give me the rich, focussed & dynamic sound of a 'big amp' in a compact package. I've tried many of the leading brands over the years, including MESA, Genz & TC Electronic, but none ticked all the boxes.

My online research led me to Hand Box, and their R-400 head. It's incredible - the tone is punchy and responsive, and I can really feel the notes. The EQ is simple and intuitive, and I can easily add grit and growl if needed. Engineers love the clean, rich DI, and the construction is first-class: it's hand-built and solid, with a cool, practical design that really turns heads.

The R-400 is unique, and I adore it."- Michael
