    All-tube amp. Excellent hardware. First choice of components and wiring to the "chalk"! 100 watt available on the DR 103. Basic Rglage, no effect.

    USE

    There's no simpler. The sound is what we do! You just have to know how to play.

    SONORITS

    Given the sound quality, should all styles. Crunch wish. Crystalline highs, beautiful presence. It's not a jazz amp.

Criterion deprecated when you want the best! These remarks apply to Hiwatt heads before 1980. After ... may be Chinese. I refuse to buy Chinese or risk losing my soul, perhaps, but with automatic certainty in all, buying crap. L'argus can be infrieur 1000 euro for 4 input heads mid-seventies. Before, it is more expensive. A site ampliguitarvintage.com

    My copy is top two entries dated November 10, 1977. As mentioned previously, it has a volume per channel (normal and bright), a 3-band EQ and presence. Wired point to point, there was revised recently.

    UTILIZATION

    It's a simple amp, designed to deliver clear sound. It has the advantage of taking the pedals very well. We can use both inputs via AB / box. The amp is called All Purpose, All Purpose understand. It can be used with a bass or keyboard, through the use of suitable hps.

    SOUNDS

    The sound is very clear even at high volume. The sound is quite crystalline. Simply plug the pedals that you love, the absence of effects loop is not felt since the amp does not bend. Th…

    SOUNDS

    The sound is very clear even at high volume. The sound is quite crystalline. Simply plug the pedals that you love, the absence of effects loop is not felt since the amp does not bend. The volume is relatively progressive, allowing to make an amp versatile enough for use. The settings are effective.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it since late 2009. It is a fine amp, efficient, providing a good basis for the use of pedals, because he accepts it, it is powerful and flexible enough to use. It is moving to use a vintage amp of this type.
