1972 Hiwatt DR103 Video Demo (Pre and Master on 10!)

[Gamedojo]

Took some time this weekend to demo my '72 DR103 through a 1978 Fane Loaded Hiwatt cab (fane 125161 code speakers).

I was trying to think what would be the most fun video, and I figured pegging the preamp volume AND master volume to max would do the trick!

Here you go!

Nothin' quite like a dimed Hiwatt.

P.S. Stock pickups in the Les Paul?

[Gamedojo]

Not exactly stock... but they are 1978 Dimarzio Super Distortions... So they are close enough to stock considering the pickups are only 7 years newer then the guitar.

enjoyed that a LOT!

Well, that device sitting on top of the DR103 looks a whole lot like one of my Faustine Phantoms...

Hmmm, I feel a GAS attack comin' on. Yikes!!
I'm using DrZ Airbrakes. Never have had a chance to try a Faustine Phantom DX or DX2.

You will have to find one used.
He filed bankruptcy and a lot of guys lost their money.

Hadn't heard that - a sad story, but (unfortunately) not uncommon. Too bad, they are really solid, "nearly" transparent units.
Mine were part of the third run, waited over a year for them.

edit: I see somebody is looking to recoup their investment (x2) on ebay.
