HiWatt Custom 50 - SA112 Combo

This is a seriously good amp! Hiwatt made some of the most iconic amps of the 60s and 70s with an artist list including Dave Gilmour and Pete Townsend.

This little, but heavy!, Amp is basically the famed DR103 head, with the original Partridge designed transformers and a pair of EL34 valves, packed into a super sturdy 18mm baltic birch ply cabinet.

The tone is ultra clean with heaps of headroom, brighter and thicker than a Fender style and a little more even in response than a Vox.

The 'bright' inputs are perfect for humbuckers: with a pristine, honest treble bite.

The 'normal' inputs dial back the chime a nudge and work well single coils. This is one of those amps that brings out the absolute best in your guitar, down to the subtlest detail, and takes pedals like an absolute champ.

You'd pay 2 times this price for a new example.
