The Hiwatt SA20H Custom is a 20-watt studio guitar amplifier head from Hiwatt's Custom series, delivering the brand's characteristically clean, powerful headroom and articulate British tone at a studio-friendly wattage. Built with Hiwatt's traditional emphasis on clarity and dynamic response over built-in gain, it's aimed at players wanting genuine Hiwatt tonal character without the volume of the brand's larger flagship heads.
The Hiwatt DR20/0.5 Head is a switchable 20-watt or 0.5-watt all-tube guitar amplifier head from Hiwatt, offering the Custom DR circuit character with radical wattage switching between full 20W stage output and 0.5W bedroom practice level. The 0.5W position allows natural tube saturation and Hiwatt character at extremely low volume for quiet practice and recording. The DR20/0.5 provides the authentic Hiwatt Custom tone across the full range from quiet practice to stage use.
