The "Platinum edition" of the phatbox is really main production - there were few "red" units made.

If you look at it that way, the empeg mk1 was the red phatbox, the mk2 was the silver one (but we added ethernet instead of taking serial away), and the mk2a was the very shiny silver one - the mk2a has design & reliability improvements over the mk2 (ie, anything that made mk2s fail was fixed in the mk2a).

There was one batch of mk1s, one batch of mk2s, and 2 batches of riocars I believe.
