Re: DR103 Combo

Hi Mark I resent the line quote "think you know that this thing is a "lash up" from dr hi tone the photos speak for themselves the amp has had expert work done on it if it has been modified. this is a real deal amp and not a clone or a modern reissue that claims to be a Hiwatt but it ...

Re: DR103 Combo

Re: DR103 Combo

Hi
From the photos you can see the amp has not been hacked about. if it was once a head the faceplate and all the work done are to an of a very high quality.
the amp works and sounds tasty.
maybe if I want to pass the amp on an option would be to break it up and sell it as parts?

Re: DR103 Combo

Hi Thanks for the replies this amp is still a bit of an odd ball. Played it today sounds brill! The foot switch works perfect using the balance control to switch between clean and distorted sound. Bearing in mind the amp still has all the original mullard valves pre and power, transformers and speak...
