Hiwatt Hylight Era SA212 Amplifier Owned by Ben Folds

This Hiwatt Hylight SA212 Amplifier is from the private collection of Ben Folds, used in 'Ben's Studio' which was the former RCA Studio A in Nashville, TN

SN: 3422. 70's Hylight era weird(er) Hiwatt amp. Appears to be a 50 watt 2x12 combo, but handwritten back panel would leave us to believe this was a custom manufacture for a client.

No branding to speak of on the amp aside from the rear panel. Sounds KILLER. Celestion G1275's -- Period correct. AP as the type. Alan Parsons?

"I’m trying to remember where I bought that, the Hiwatt. I just needed a guitar amp. I got that for the Fear Of Pop record. So I bought that in 1997 and then, yeah, I just needed something to.. and I honestly used it for Rockin the Suburbs.. I'm a shitty guitar player, but I play all the guitar on that. And that was distorted through the Hiwatt. I think that one you have to hit really super hard before it breaks up or it used to be the case. And when it does, it's pretty incredibly mean. It's a loud amp." - BF
