Hiwatt DR201 Head Custom Guitar Amplifier Head Review
The DR201 follows Dave Reeves' original late 1960s circuit design and uses four KT88 output valves for its distinctive character and impressive power. Its Normal and Brilliant channels each offer high and low input options, giving you more ways to shape your instrument's response. You can also link the channels together for extra punch and control. With a shared three band EQ, Presence control, and Master Volume, the DR201 gives players plenty of control while keeping the classic Hiwatt feel.
