UTILIZATION
No need to leave for St-Cyr know how to use this amp.
In reality there is only one channel on this amp, despite the entry Bright and Normal.
In fact the entrance to Bright just simply cut off the low above ...
Attention little saturation with this amp unless you have no neighbors, good earplugs and sturdy walls ...
For use
They put hands on the way (grocery). We expect at least a minute to warm up the lamps and it starts the standby.
Just have to play ...
Can be used simultaneously bright and normal channel by wiring the two inputs together.
Weak point of this amp, setting is effective presence in the final race.
SOUNDS
Already I describe my style: First of all a fan of Pink Floyd and thus David Gilmour ... And more generally Blues / Rock Chuck Berry Dire Straits through the Stones, Led Zep but such Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Buddy Guy ...
For the style and I like his research and in particular for the Hiwatt Pink Floyd is perfect.
The clean sound is amazing, incredible, beautiful, magical, does not care about the ass by drooling pleasure. Well I quit a few superlatives (the time of this line)
Whatever the style addressed, this amp will do because of its super clear sound.
No channel distortion It's okay, good pedal and hop!
By the way, my amp is equipped as super lamps: Mullard EL34 original (not the news that the name of Mullard) and 2 ECC83 Brimar - 1 MINIWATT Philips ECC83 - 1 ECC81 / 12AT7 Valvo Our. My head is behind an amp Roost (middle Hiwatt clone 70 with partridge transformers and everything ...) I changed to 100% Hiwatt Custom 50 mid 70 '. My "Hiwatt" is plugged into a 4x12 cabinet fitted with Celestion Vintage 30. Using mainly guitar.
I will detail a bit more now: The bass is firm, tight and deep. They really knock. But are not dominant either. As for the medium, it is quite right, but not too hot - just right. It is very well detailed. As for the high register, it is fine, chiseled, powerful and bright but not aggressive like the Fender. Overall, the sound of this amp is quite "Hifi". The balance is excellent. This amp refund any nuance of the game and fully respects the sound of your guitar. Ditto for the effects that take on another dimension ...
Also, the dynamic is enormous extraordinary view. It really takes the sound in the mouth. But it is also able to smooth course. The resort's property without having to push the volume. Just power issue, I have not been able to push down. I would not find my brains on the wall behind me so this amp is powerful I tried to push a little high (just over half the master volume), it's already pulled a max. So when we think to do is really push him to saturate the bottom, it's chilling Now I understand why Pete Townshend became almost deaf ...
Also, I use my bass on this amp. It is just as magical with the guitar. No comments added
on the other hand, very important thing: The choice of lamps>
This amp really sounds differently depending on the lamps used. I currently have the original Mullard and this is clearly the best choice. But not the new production Mullard Reflector (Sovtek, EH). I tried the Electro Harmonix. This is blah compared to the Mullard - less fishing and definition - the whole darker. Otherwise, Svetlana C are a good alternative to Mullard at a reasonable cost. The sound is very close (closes lower, medium hot, powerful and sharp end). The same applies to lamps preamp. Ideally lamps NOS (New Old Stock / New Old Stock) as the Mullard (again ...).
I tried in preamp
ECC83 JJ: Not bad - warm sound with powerful bass but acute withdrawal
Electro Harmonix 12AX7: well balanced, but its generally flat
ECC83 EI: One of the best in current production for a Hiwatt, but its a little cold.
The bass is powerful, the medium slightly lower and the upper end and very bright. It is a very clear light ...
Sovtek 12AX7WC: To be avoided in a Hiwatt - no fishing or definition.
OVERALL OPINION
If I could put 10 to 15 of this amp, I would do so the sound is top-flight. This is the best clean sound I heard on a guitar amp. Amp never filled me as much. I have owned or tried the major brands of amplifiers. And frankly I was getting tired of changing amp ... Because every time something was missing sound. Either it was too hot or too low and tense own. Is the high is aggressive (Fender) or amp versatile enough / good clean but bad distortion (Marshall). Only to my knowledge, the Hughes & Kettner has a clear approaching that of the Hiwatt. In particular, do the little Blue Edition curiously.
Finally, to summarize, if a Hiwatt crosses your path and you have the misfortune to fall on it, beware! Why evil?! Because after your amp will seem dull and lifeless and you think to buy this gem. And the transition to Hiwatt cause you to eat the shells with butter for some time
