Everything has already been said, lead "all lamps" old. This is the same panel as the custom 100 with two lamps and less behind.
The model I tried is old (probably 70 years) and is coupled with the 4x12 cabinet of the mark (this time).
The 50 watts ads are very present. With the main knob to half, it still could teach my Marshall Valvestate 100.
Simple settings: one channel, no reverb or distortion, but the possibility of transplanting clean channel on the channel for a bright vintage overdrive.
UTILIZATION
Used:
. to scratch with a Fender Tele and a Les Paul (Epiphone)
. on bass with a Squier Precision and an Ibanez (SR)
Manuel? Manual Que?
SOUNDS
Ecstasy. I know the custom 100. It's the same. I perceive little difference in power. Let's say the custom makes the scene 100 medium (without transplant), the Custom 50 is suitable for rehearsals and small scenes (bar).
A guitar, I love the warm crystal clear rock (jazz or blues) according to the settings. This is an amp that does not have the severe food and faithfully reproduce the most from your guitar. Obviously you have to like the "vintage". With different pedals, you can play what you want on this beast, with the assurance of a rich and present.
A bass is a surprise. These W-50 is more than enough and we get a fast slamming her to play brutal stuff. But by inflating the lower, one can also play reggae and dub.
OVERALL OPINION
I feel that when we tasted Hiwatt, the rest seems quite tasteless. I do not pretend to be objective, of course. My tastes are not necessarily shared by all, but all guitarists, bassists and even that I know who have tried this amp recognize its qualities.
