I thought they'd been around under the current ownership for a few years now. They must really be trying to get in with the stoner/doom metal crowd with the 4/20 stuff..

Looks like a powerhouse. Wouldn’t it be nice to compare that big dog with its Marshall, Orange, Bogner, Friedman etc. equivalents. |

They're particularly good as "pedal platform" amps, which is a big reason for their resurgence in popularity in the past 15 years or so. 15 years ago you could buy a vintage 4-input Hiwatt DR103 or DR504 for well under a grand, now they're over 3 grand. |

I've seen that.
They do bring the Ker-RANG at very high volume.
I won't be buying any from this line. Like I need more amps...

Too big for me. I'm still trying to get rid of my old 4-12's cabinet with Celestions in it. Nobody wants it and I'm not giving it away. I think it's time to sell the speakers outright and use the cabinet as either a planter or a jack stand for when I change the oil on my truck. I don't know if a thrift store would be interested in it or not.
My Twin Reverb is a lot more amp than I need these days. I have a Vox AC15H1TV that's a lot of amp for a bedroom recording studio but it sounds really sweet as does the Twin. I'm too fat and old to play in a big loud rock band anymore and the amps I have will cover any base I will encounter.

I'm not sure what to make of this. I wish them well but one only listings could just be a clearance.
My interest in the T20/10 models has been mentioned before; but I wouldn't buy without hearing one in person. That's not likely to happen as it currently appears to be +/- 800 miles to the nearest dealer. Service locations could be another issue.

Yeah, I remember getting one in years ago and we demo'ed it out in our warehouse. It almost was more like a stack version of the twin/JBLs thing. I wouldn't call it super clean, it was still kinda brash and gnarly, but not distorted either. Pete Townshend really is the best example I can think of. |

When the Georgia Satellites toured in the 80s they had a full backline of HIWATTs.
They removed the name plates from the amps and replaced them with HIYALL. Hilarious and effective.
They played L O U D .
