Wooowww, Mark, the Hiwatt Guru, I'm not worthy !!!
Thank you Mark, I will do very very soon...

Could you please tell me what can I expect having it colder ? Less crunch for sure but maybe more sag ??? Nothing in benefit except longer tube life which is a lot by itself ?!

Hello & Happy New Year 2013 full of Hiwatt Stacks to Everyone :lol: :lol: :lol: I checked the bias on my DR504 '72 with Svetlana Wing =C= and I got 70mA & 80mA @ 414Vdc !!! :shock: I read that an amp too hot is sounding like hell but of course won't last long. Like this, the amp is crunching...

A DR504, Plexi & Vox (EL84?) would be nice enviable coverage for variety of tone solutions. To be honest, I already got them... : :mrgreen: Fender Deluxe Reverb BF '66 Fender Super Reverb BF/SF '69 Marshall JMP SuperLead '73 Marshall JMP SuperBass '69 Marshall JMP 2203 '77 VOX JMI AC30 Non-TB '...

1. & 3. yes, your DR504 is worth considerably more to a collector than the modded DR103 with fake serial tag. 2. it is not very easy to find empty head cab. 4. Gilmour is not looking for power amp distortion, just a lower volume pedal platform 5. without attenuator, a DR103 will be a bit better...

Hello Gentlemen, I already asked the questions in another forum but this is the best place here to reach Hiwatt experts. Many of you have already answered but I put new questions at the end. Many many many thanks to you for your help. I really appreciate. Here we go : What I forgot to precise is tha...

Seems like they are Hi-Fi PA systems 20W speakers so no real interest for guitars... ?!

Hello, I can reach a quad of Hiwatt FANE 122 228 LT 12.000Gauge 15Ohms for 450 Euros, is it a good deal ? I never heard about these speakers with such cones http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/1692/img8755a.jpg http://img810.imageshack.us/img810/3079/img8750f.jpg http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/20...

30w. no pedals I am going to move this to the HI-TONE area as it doesn't pertain to Hylights really, but feel free to keep posting in it. 8) Oops, sorry. It was question of my Hylights '72 DR504 but it drifted quickly, sorry for that. By the way, I sent you an Email at Sales@VintageHiwattRestoratio...

I'm completly in LOVE !

Is it 15W or 30W mode ? It seems that there is no pedal, just guitar & amp ?

Well... I get plenty of crunch out of my Hylights. Crank the preamp and run the master in the sweet spot - about 2:00 - 3:00... Crunchy, touch-sensitive goodness. (Caveat - I use good-quality, mostly transparent attenuators to be able to run at these settings in the "real world.") Your '7...

It is an incredibly dynamic and flexible amp! I hope Mikhailwatt gives his opinion, he got to try one a couple weeks ago. Flexible is not necessary the key point even if having Hiwatt cleans AND Hiwatt crunch on the same amp is incredible... Having incredibly dynamic amp is THE key point for me, th...

You're biased of course but that doesn't matter at all :D :D :D Could you please tell me more ?! Is the clean to crunch really linear ? Can I really manage it with guitar volume ? I play my Cornell Plexi 45/50 in 15W mode in a 4x12 with Scumbacks with 100dB of efficiency... would you say I can reach...

Hi All, I really need your advices on my crisis... I LOVE / HATE Hiwatts... I already had a '71 DR103, a '75 SA212 and now a '72 DR504... My problem is that I love Hiwatts for Gilmour tone : clean amp with pedals BUT moreover the Who crunch or Page crunch... Now, I realize that I love Hiwatt cleans ...
