Hi Everyone! I am new to this forum, but I use Hiwatts. I play in an original hard rock band based in NYC, but I am not joining this forum to promote my music. I am a HUGE Hiwatt fan, but not nearly as knowledgeable as many of you. So, let me apologize now if I ask any stupid questions.
I have (2) vintage Hiwatt's. A 4-hole 50w and a 4-hole 100w 103. I won them both on ebay over the past few months. I also won (2) early 70's 4X12's on the bay recently. One of them is the one on the other hiwatt forum in the thread "Trashed Cabinet." I might have just sealed the deal on my third head, which is another 100w DR-103 from the mid 1970's. My manager knows I am a huge hiwatt dork, and he is arranging to get me their new Hi Gain 100w head. Nice to meet all of you, and I look forward to getting to know you more. Best, Chris

Hey Chris - welcome! There are no stupid questions here. As long as they pertain to HIWATT amps, that isSTDtheBAND wrote:So, let me apologize now if I ask any stupid questions.
.Like you, I started with a single HIWATT amp (an SA112 combo), but quickly found myself unable to resist acquiring more. I've managed to assemble a pretty nice collection, some of which are pictured here (ignore the Marshall half stack - it whined until I let it into the photo
):
Like children (I assume, 'cause I don't have any), each is special in its own way. If I were forced to pare down the collection, I'd try to keep my '73 4 hole DR103, '77 4 hole DR504 and '72 DR201. And I'll give up my original HIWATT Fanes when they pry them from my cold dead fingers
.Just wanted to give you some insight into what HIWATT addiction can do to an otherwise "normal" person...
Dave
