Members JorisBlack Posted January 26, 2013 Members Share Posted January 26, 2013 Question: can you get a nice light crunch out of an old Hiwatt Custom 100? It has a master volume, so I would guess you can, but I really can't find any decent demo's on youtube... There's somebody selling one from '78!

Members Steve2112 Posted January 26, 2013 Members Share Posted January 26, 2013 I don't have any personla experience but I LOVE Alex Lifeson's Hiwatt tones. Pretty sure All The Wolrd's A Stage is Hiwatt. There's so much baddassery there it's not even funny. If the price was reasonable and I could afford it I'd get one in a heart beat!

Members KuntfacedKunt Posted January 27, 2013 Members Share Posted January 27, 2013 reality check. I have one IT IS INSANELY LOUD......REPEAT...... INSANELY LOUD!!!!!!!!!don't even consider this amp for one millisecond, unless, you're going to invest in a good attenuator hat can handle this beast.I couldn't/wouldn't use mine for years because quite frankly, it sounds like {censored} at low/medium volumes. it's an amp that needs to be dialed to its sweet spot, which is just a little over halfway on the master volume.at this volume, it's actually painful.the amp sounds stiff, cold and brittle unless it's turned up, I'm not kidding.but, if you do get a good attenuator, it's an experience that can't be described.if you're thinking, ahh I'll just throw a good pedal in front of it, forget it, you'd be wasting your money.
