Hiwatt Studio/Stage Custom Guitar Amplifier Head Review
Built around Hiwatt's classic circuit design, the Studio/Stage Custom uses four EL84 power tubes and a carefully wired tube preamp to deliver clear cleans, natural breakup, and plenty of headroom. The two inputs let you fine tune the feel of the amp for different pickups, while the Bright switch can add extra sparkle. Its push pull Gain control adds more preamp gain and can be controlled with a footswitch for quick changes while playing. The adjustable spring reverb also gives you control over both the depth and character of the effect. Power scaling makes it easy to get the amp working at 40 watts or 20 watts depending on the setting and playing situation.
