Hiwatt DR103 Custom 100W Head

Legendary Hi-headroom, crystal-clean tonal character, instantaneous response, sonic depth and detail have made this classic Dave Reeve's circuit a recording and performance giant for more than 60 years.

The iconic British sound trusted by musicians and engineers for generations.

Highlights

  • Faithfully hand-wired according to Dave Reeve's original late 60's circuit design.
  • Hiwatt is the premiere pedal platform prized for clarity and headroom. Presents pedals true to your sound — no effects loop required.
  • Normal and Bright channels with independent High and Low impedance inputs for each channel. Versatile and intuitive, perfect for bringing life out of dark pickups or taming shrill high end in bright pickups.
  • Link the two channels for extra punch and dynamic control of your EQ via the independent channel volumes. Unleash the ’jumped’ channel sound Hiwatt is famous for.
  • All the clean headroom you could want.
  • AP / Truly All Purpose Amplifier. Historically used by the world's most influential artists on a wide range of instruments in the studio and on stage. Ideal for amplifying bass, keys, synthesizers, guitars and other full-range and acoustic instruments.
