– From the good people at Hiwatt, “This hand-wired amp is based on the DR103 circuit to give you the sound that has made Hiwatt famous. We have internally linked the inputs and added the ability to switch from 20W down to 0.5W to allow you to practice backstage or even in your living room. Don’t be misled, at 20W this amp is anything but ‘Little’ sounding. Paired with a HG112 speaker cabinet (sold separately), this ‘cool looking Hiwatt stack’ makes for a premiere sounding ‘Rig’.

–  Normal and Brilliant channels. Versatile and intuitive, perfect for bringing life out of dark pickups or taming shrill high end in bright pickups.

–  Linked input giving control of both channels simultaneously for extra punch and full control of your EQ. Unleash the ’jumped’ channel sound Hiwatt is famous for.

– Volume for any gig! Switchable wattage allows switching from 20W down to 0.5W for bedroom playing and smaller venues.

Every DR20/0.5 is proudly handcrafted and built to order for you in our Custom Shop in Doncaster, England. Please allow up to 4 week lead time while your amplifier is being meticulously hand-wired.”
