@HiwattOfficial do you have a certain type of combination of head and cab that would be optimal for heavy shoegaze? This HG-100 was definitely the closest to optimal iv heard so far
How great is this, I have an UK made HiWatt Hi Gain 100 head with reverb that was on stage at the Montreal Jazz fest , been in the shop a few times but completely rocks, thanks for posting!
Hiwatt fanboy here. I have a handwired Custom 7 and Custom 20 from around the same period I believe. Phenomenal amps. The Custom 7 needed a bit of tweaking and my amp tech contacted Hiwatt for technical information. What he got back was a hand drawn schematic. Apparently at the time these were developed Hiwatt ownership was in a bit of flux and product development was a little shall we say haphazard? However, that period produced some incredibly interesting amps which I believe incudes the one you’re demoing. The rock tones that thing is producing are utterly stunning and sound like my dream amp. Thanks for putting this one up!
Having seen this I have immediately bought your capture. Very impressive amp, can’t wait to use the capture in anger - possibly with a big grin on my face 😊
That black strat sure is a looker, and sounds great, well any guitar does in your hands paul imho. Great vid Paul and james ,I will be going straight to the Tonex captures right now....Thankyou Studio rats! :)
Great sounding amp guys. Predominantly Hiwatt was top notch during the 70s. I remember seeing Slade live so many times with the largest back line of Hiwatt stacks. It would be good to see if you could get your hands on an old Sound City head great amps with a very distinctive tone of their own.
i wish i'd find these sorts of things at auction, cool find 🙌 while not your classic Hiwatt, it has that character, i used to own a '76 custom 100 , incredibly loud but lovely tones
The early 2000’s or whatever they were sold under many names, basically a Randall transistor amp. hiwatt Maxwatt or something, funny thing is that those Randall’s had a super good clean channel that sounded really good when cranked and took pedals well. Ended up using one of those instead of my Jmp100 watt cause that one well, loud.
Hi I have not received any emails regarding this. The pack automatically is sent when payment is made. If you can email with your invoice number I can look into it.

Nice!
Why was it in the shop a few times? A few also? In the span of how long also?

The sound of early Brian Adam's records. Keith Scott was using them because they had master volumes before Marshall did.

'It's really sustainy". Cue the cut scene to Spinal Tap & the still sustaining Les Paul which you weren't really allowed to look at😂.
" ...still has the ol' tagger on it!"
Gotta love Nigel. One of my all time favorite movie scenes.😁
When you First went to High Gain From Clean It made me think of Early Pete Townshend
There are too many amps today, but only a few of them are still relevant for nice gainy tones: Friedman, Ceriatone, Suhr, Toneking.
Huh?

very nice
That can definitely do modern high gain.
See how close you can get to it with the Katana.
Have used a Hiwatt for 30 years. If you're unafraid, you'll never need amother amp. Also, the "Lord" of Hiwatt (for me) is Pete Townshend 🤘🏻
Love it. What a great platform amp.
the face after the slip up was jokes ngl
Includes the pack amp and cabs?
what song did you play in the intro? i have heard it before but i cant remember
I own and use a 1975 DR-504 head. Signed on chassis by technician E Walton, and Dave Reeves. serial 10452. It will be buried with me.
Rippin Amp ! Love it
Does anyone know how good the new Hiwatt solid state heads are? They've also just released solid state combo amps.

Something different , but what frets do you have on the black Strat with maple neck.
Hiwat and Vox amps have never been a favorite of mine. However, they are responsible for more hits than you could imagine.
Gorgeous
Stick a P90 SG in there and maybe Mr Townshend will emerge?
I bought a tonex preset from your site but I haven’t received it? I also emailed x2 with no reply.

@@TheStudioRats I can only send message through your site. No email address.
I’ve had not purchase from HellraiserUK
@@TheStudioRatsyou won’t have I don’t use that name. What’s your email I’ll send my order number and screen shot 👍🏻
I don’t send email address over yourube.
Homage or butchery 😂 You're a right pair 😂
How much is a bargain for one of those?
I’d buy an old DR103 before anything they have now.
Hiwatt DR is The real one
Wow...with single coil pickups.
My ears are bleeding 🩸
