SOUNDS
This is Hiwatts focus on the simple practice amp market. This isn't a tube driven amp but still retains the voicing of the legendary Hiwatts amplifiers. These amp has a great overdrive that cleans up well with the lowering of the volume on either your guitar or the volume pot on the amp.
These amps sound great with a Gibson SG which is what you would see Pete Townshend using back in the day. Not the only guitar you can use with the amp but certainly a good one. I think any guitar sound good with this amp.
You can't go wrong with this amp even though it is a solid state. The amp is designed for home or office practice use and serves that quite well.
OVERALL OPINION
At new these amps come in at around $169, which isn't a bad price for a Hiwatt amp. I would recommend this amp to anyone who needs a good practice amp and doesn't want to blow $200 to get it done. These are great sounding for the home or office and can get you some silent playing as well with the headphones hook up. You can also add you favorite cd player to the input and play along with you favorite music.See less00- The ninety FourPublished on 04/27/09 at 05:25 (This content has been automatically translated from French)The Hiwatt G15 is an all transistor amps.

The configutation this amp is very simple even a beginner can use it.
In terms of good sound is not really not his hand was perhaps clean or he can close it out was fine but if not in overdrive do not talk ... he would need a pedal with the it sounds about right
No manual supplied was used too simple
SOUNDS
I play mostly punk rock sometimes a little clean arpeggio
Sometimes metal but then have not asked him a lot, it's not a metal amp unless you have a scraper and again.
I usually put the bass at 10, middle and treble at 0 to 10 I have a good sound with ... but it all depends on taste and especially the guitar pickups.
OVERALL OPINION
About 1 year.
This is my first amp.
The quality / price is not cons ... not bad at 70 € you started playing guitar
on the other hand we should consider changing it if you want continued.
With the experience ... well recess that not lolSee less11
