Hiwatt DR20/0.5 The Little Rig Combo 1×12 Custom Guitar Amplifier Review
Built around the legendary Hiwatt preamp circuit and tone controls used in the DR103 and DR504, the DR20/0.5 offers excellent clarity, depth, and quick response. Its 20 watt output section can be reduced to 0.5 watts, making it easier to get natural tube breakup at lower volumes. The amp features Normal and Brilliant channels, along with an original linked input circuit inspired by a famous Pink Floyd modification. It also uses two EL84 output tubes, three ECC83 preamp tubes, and one ECC81 tube for its all tube design.
