Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.The Hiwatt DR103 Combo is the self-contained combo version of the iconic Hiwatt Custom DR103 — the 100-watt all-tube guitar amplifier that defined Hiwatt reputation for massive clean headroom and punchy British tone. Pete Townshend of The Who and David Gilmour of Pink Floyd famously used the DR103. In combo form the 100-watt Custom DR circuit is paired with a speaker cabinet in an integrated unit, maintaining the defining Hiwatt character in a self-contained format.
