Description
Here is what Hiwatt say about the Hiwatt Custom Range DR504HD 50W Head:
Legendary Hi-Headroom, crystal-clean tonal character, instantaneous response, sonic depth and detail have made this original Dave Reeve’s circuit a recording and performance giant for more than 60 years. With half the power tubes of it’s big brother (the DR103), the DR504 offers the iconic Hiwatt tone while allowing to play on the edge of breakup at recording volume.
Key Features
- Classic high-headroom Brit sound – Prized for clarity and headroom, Hiwatt Custom amps kick out that pure Brit clean that’s been trusted by musicians and engineers for generations.
- Original Dave Reeves circuit – The Custom 50 is handwired to the specs of Dave Reeves original ’60s circuit that helped put Hiwatt on the tonal map. Experience the characterful response of an amp icon.
- Normal & Bright channels – Independent high/low-impedance inputs help to light up dark-sounding pickups and tame the high-end of brighter magnets. You can even link the two channels to unleash that ‘jumped’ Hiwatt sound.
