Selling my great Hiwatt Hi-5 tube amp head!
The Hiwatt Hi-5 is a studio-quality practice amp, combining classic Hiwatt clean tones with a monstrous high-gain channel. The format is compact and portable, in both head and combo versions, and the volume is sufficient to feed a 4x12 and send a big saturated sound! It is as popular backstage as in the studio by artists such as The Killers, Eagles of Death Metal, and Loathe. Big Fun Serious tones. British Engineered.
