Hiwatt Hi-Gain 50

Up for sale, Hiwatt Hi-Gain 50. 50 Watt tube amp. I took the amp in on trade. It's fantastic. Big fat Hiwatt sound. Lots of juice on tap. Perfect working order and in A++ condition. Includes foot switch.

The Hiwatt Hi-Gain 50 is celebrated for its dual-personality tone. Channel 1 delivers the quintessential Hiwatt clean sound: "glassy highs, articulate midrange, fast, touch-sensitive response, and loads of headroom." It's often described as "huge" and "chiming clarity through the midrange," making it an excellent platform for pedals, reverbs, fuzz, delays, and modulation effects. This clean channel can break up into a subtle drive, but its high-headroom design ensures clarity even at considerable volumes, echoing the tones favored by legends like Pete Townshend and David Gilmour.

Channel 2 ventures into more aggressive territory, offering gritty British crunch and overdrive tones. While the "Hi-Gain" moniker might suggest modern metal, the amplifier's distortion characteristics are more aligned with vintage British rock – think Led Zeppelin, Free, or AC/DC. Engaging the high-gain switch on Channel 2 introduces further saturation, which can extend into sludge and doom-style tones, especially when paired with appropriate cabinets. Reviewers note that the tone can be dynamic and responsive, allowing players to clean up their sound by rolling back their guitar's volume. The shared EQ requires careful dialing to get the best out of both channels, but the overall sonic impression is one of a powerful, dimensional, and alive amplifier, particularly effective for studio tracking.
