A classic of amplification. All lamp of course. 100W. Very heavy. Input 4: normal and bright, high and low. 2 out speakers. Settings-simple: normal channel volume, bright channel volume, bass, mid, treble, presence and voume general. Indestructrible and without headaches. Equalization is pleased ^ ot effective in an amp of that era.

UTILIZATION

Its side, it's either love or hate it. Its very special to the base, it's clear sound with great dynamics. Guitar and bass are welcome. Very high output with a breath negligible. This is cutting edge, the opposite of a Fender in a way. Then the amount of preamp gain, it starts quietly to saturate.

SOUNDS

Contrary to popular belief, you do not saturate a Hiwatt. The solution: to attack the two channels at once (with a Y-cable), 2 amp push up and push up the overall volume, taking care to insert between the head and the HP absorber power within wanting to die on the opposite wall. It is mainly given by the color saturation of the power that is worth seeing.

OVERALL OPINION

I got mine for 8 years, bought a OCCAZ CashConverter for 2000 FF. I cracked, I sold my Marshall. At that price, you must not hesitate. Today, I use a Sansamp Classic on permanently as a preamp to warm up a little more sound. The color of the Sansamp with the dynamics and clarity of the Hiwatt, I have yet to beat. I attack all with LesPaulCustom. My only regret: not having yet to find Hiwatt speaker used a good price.
