On the first picture in this thread the amps in the middle and on the right appear to be slave amps (Slade's slaves?).

When will they be available? That's very interesting/exciting! Will those amps be about 20 watts then?

As an aside and at the risk of sounding ignorant, what are the "FMV" tone controls mentioned in the descriptions on the website? I haven't been able to figure that out.

Congrats! Although I didn't really need to read that to fuel my urge for another Hi Tone!

That is a thing of beauty right there!

Congrats to Clayton, Mark and Glynn for a great feature article in the new (August) Premier Guitar magazine!

Thanks, I remember seeing that thread and am aware of MG's practices. I emailed them years ago about an amp they had on gBase and they never responded. Probably lucky for me! I thought they were in some serious legal trouble recently and they stopped production of Hiwatt but I saw a recent ad for th...

Clayton, just trying to learn something here - what gives it away as a lash-up? The wiring looks sloppy and the serial plate is crooked. Anything else?

It was a great show and the HiTone sounded great too. I was too far away to be sure but it looked like just the HT50 DR that Dave Minehan was playing. Loud, clear, crunchy and articulate! After singing along to these songs in the car for 25 years I finally got to sing along with the band! Clayton, t...

Going to see the Replacements in Philadelphia tonight - will be good to hear a Hi-Tone in it's proper setting! (I just play mine at home.)

Wow - that's an early one - S/N 434! Even has a Partridge choke. Would have liked to see a gut shot though.

Agreed. It's a shame to see the name get sullied by association with certain "businesspeople".

I guess now more than ever Hi-Tone is the heir to the Hiwatt name!

Clayton - any word on the DR 103's mentioned?

Looks great - congrats!

Great news, congrats!

I only got into the Replacements after Don't Tell a Soul came out; shortly afterwards they broke up. I never got to see them live and looking at the website it doesn't appear they are near Philly anytime. I guess it's a bucket list thing for me!

It came, I saw, it went...

Not only were the transformers changed, it had KT88 tubes installed. (?!) All kinds of mess inside, too. I have already returned it - I didn't even plug it in.

I'll just play my HiTone!
