HIWATT Custom DR504 50W Head

HIWATT Custom DR504 50W Head

The little brother to the DR103, seen above, the Custom 50W Head is a design classic!

It has the same controls and features as the DR103, except it uses 2xEL34 in the power stage, providing a more than generous 50 watts RMS. It is lovingly hand built to the highest possible standards.

Switchable to 4, 8 and 16-ohm output impedance and with18-millimetre Baltic birch ply cabinet construction, this amplifier will last a lifetime!

— Normal and Bright channels with independent High and Low impedance inputs for each channel. Versatile and intuitive, perfect for bringing life out of dark pickups or taming shrill high end in bright pickups.
— Link the two channels for extra punch and dynamic control of your EQ via the independent channel volumes. Unleash the ’jumped’ channel sound Hiwatt is famous for.
— All the clean headroom you could want.
