HiWatt Amplifiers

Here at The Guitar Store Southampton we are truly proud to be stocking this iconic British Amplifiers.

Where most classic tube amps can somehow be traced back to Leo Fender's Bassman circuit and the RCA handbook, Hiwatt is a truly original circuit created by the late great amplifier genius Dave Reeves. It is well known that the high-headroom and broad spectrum of clean sound made Hiwatt the original amps best suited for pedals. “That original DR103 design is the core, that's what we are building upon…” says Atkinson. “It's an amazing amp design with endless possibilities; as a clean pedal platform, epic Rock tone or all the way to insane Hi-Gain like our Super-Hi... we are at the beginning of a new heyday for Hiwatt.”

Steeped in Rock'n'Roll history, Hiwatt boasts an unparalleled list of highly influential Artists that have played the legendary brand in Studio and on Stage over the years; from Roger Waters and David Gilmour of Pink Floyd, Pete Townshend and John Entwistle of The Who, Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin through to Joe Perry of Aerosmith, Noel Gallagher, IDLES, Badfinger, Cheap Trick and many, many more.

Come into the store and try them - you will not be disappointed!
