The classic DR504 circuit updated with modern innovation and building techniques. Crystal clear, dynamic Hiwatt tone with two EL34s pushing over 50 clean watts for a pedal platform like no other. High/Low inputs to tune the gain range to your pickups, with each acting as a ‘Linked’ input (as seen on the legendary 70’s Hiwatts modified for Pink Floyd) sending your signal to both Normal and Brilliant channels for further sculpting of your tone. Hiwatt are renowned for their use as a pedal platform. The Pedalsmith now takes that one step further by adding a clean and quiet effects loop for inserting pedals after natural valve preamp gain - your modulation and time-based effects have never sounded better.
