Hiwatt Hi-5 Guitar Amplifier Head Review
The Hiwatt Hi-5 combines vintage tone with modern convenience. Powered by a single ECC83 preamp tube and an EL84 output tube, it captures that rich, organic tube character Hiwatt amps are known for. With two channels—clean and gain—you can easily switch between smooth rhythm tones and roaring crunch. The shared two-band EQ keeps shaping your sound simple, while multiple speaker outputs make it flexible enough to pair with your favorite cab setup. Lightweight and built like a tank, this amp head is the perfect blend of classic tone and portability.
