Description
The Custom Super-Hi circuit was Hiwatt’s entry into the high-gain amp market and was quickly taken up by tone connoisseurs such as Josh Elmore (Cattle Decapitation), Brian Fallon (The Gaslight Anthem), and Ben McLeod (All Them Witches). Legendary amp designer Mike Fortin took our classic DR504 chassis and hot-rodded it into a fire-breathing monster; now the Super-Hi 50 and Super-Hi 33 are bringing those ripping tones to the table at a lower price point. With two channels of cascading valve gain and channel-independent switchable Super-Hi Boost, you have four levels of overdrive and volume at your disposal, plus a passive effects loop before the pin-sharp Hiwatt power section to keep your modulation and delays clean. Both the 33 and 50 models come with ‘oversized’ transformers for extra low-end and output before reaching saturation. The Super-Hi 50 keeps the EL34 tubes found in its Custom Super-Hi older brother for 50 watts of high output without breaking up or sagging.Key Features Based on the Custom Shop Super-Hi Two channels of high gain with channel-independent master volumes Footswitchable channel and Super-Hi boost EL34 output valves for high headroom and sharp response Depth control for fine-tuning bass response. Post-gain FX Loop for extra versatility with preamps, modulation, and time-based effects.
