Does anyone know if they offer 230V versions?

I'd love to see a gut shot as well ...

if it's german it's pronounced "boombox". not bymbox...

bumbox is funnier though.

they look quite nice- though unfortunately being in the states, shipping and customs will doubtless make that price (for the lead 1) a lot less attractive... :(


Are you sure? I have german i school and we allways pronounce ü as y..

Maybe they just made Boombox look more german  :P

If the 'ü' is pronounced 'y' would it be fair to assume that the 'x' is silent?

That would make it a bymbo amp (pronounced Bimbo ?)

Therefore the following slogan could be used : Bümbox the Paris Hilton of amps (tis a pity about what it would do to the sales though)

I'm glad someone is following my train of thought   :D

It's all good, as long as they replace the IQ with some EQ   :lol:

could be £270 or £280, import duty isn't just vat, normally. it's normally vat + a few %.

and shipping will be the killer. it could be $50, easily, if not $100.
