A bedroom amp that RIPS! | Hiwatt Hi-5 Combo Amp | Clean & Dirty Sounds w/ Treetone Guitars Stella

I love a good 5-watt combo, and have been quite curious about this specific one for some time.  I don't usually turn to dual-channel amps as I usually add my gain with pedals, but I was quite impressed with both clean and dirty sounds on this amp!  The cleans are sparkly, clear and powerful.  The overdrive is thick and warm and hairy in a really cool way.  Check out this video to hear both!  

Hiwatt is legendary for their bold, bright clean tones, with some of my favorite players such as David Gilmour, Jonny Buckland, The 1975 and others turning to these bold British amps at various points in their careers.  Hiwatt captures the magic of their unique sound in this portable, compact yet powerful all-tube combo.  

The Hiwatt Hi-5 sports a single 12AX7 preamp and EL84 power amp, with a well-paired Celestial g10-40 speaker for dynamic, touch-sensitive tones across a wide gain range.
