Thanks for the awesome review. Looking to grab one. Keep up the good work.

@securitymonkee5390 Месяц назад

I picked one of these out when it was released on National Redhead day. Love this little beast. I do agree it is great for pedals.

@krillr_prawn 2 месяца назад

Amazing little guber. That clean is very moreish. Loving the combination with delay and a bit of gain. Gain on this beauty is satisfying- full, resonant and punchy. Lots of usable features. Very interested. Loved the heavy intro.

I've wanted a Hi-5 for a bit now. I want one even more now.

@ryanloughridge 5 месяцев назад

Desktop studio workhorse right there. What more could you really want out of a studio amp? So sick.

@FuzzedDrones 5 месяцев назад

Exactly that . It’s small and doesn’t take up a lot of space . When you need to use it . It’s good to go plus it’s a good little practice amp as well .

The grit on channel 2 sounds really nice. Currently amp less and just using sims at home. Always cool to see cost efficient and small amp reviews. Maybe one day I’ll play live again and need a new amp.

@Tankerbell21 5 месяцев назад

This is tempting. The price point is very nice, plus two channels. I don’t have experience with Hiwatt aside from the prices. I keep hearing they’re great amps, well designed, hopefully easy to service?, and some in the doom community really like them. I’ve always wanted to try one. This may be the entry point..thanks for the video. Constructive feedback: consider a clean channel test without effects ya tease. Otherwise keep up the great work on this channel.

Does it have a good tube punch and feel on the clean channel? Just wondering. Some 5 watt amps do have a good punch and power, others not. I have a Magnatone Starlite 5 Watt, it is very powerful. Super amp. I want the Hiwatt, to use as the right side of my studio stereo setup without spending another $1,500.

@Riffs79 2 месяца назад

I have this amp and it is awesome for 5 watts! The overdrive channel has plenty of crunch and sustain! A great practice amp for only 350 dollars! I just wish it had an input for a footswitch.

My collection so far: VHT Special 6Ultra Ampeg GVT5H Marshall DSL1H Orange Rocker Terror Blackheart Killer Ant Bugera T5 Infinium Blackheart Little Giant Randall Diablo 1watt Vox Lil Nighttrain Jet City PicoValve Blackstar HT1 Metal I’d love to add one of these to my collection along with the 7watt Fender Bassbreaker.

@666ScarFace999 5 месяцев назад

No stacking of fuzz on the clean channel? 😜 Been wondering about this one. Already have a Minimat, and my BigRig is a Matamp GT1 + Sound City 120. So this would maybe help the home rig match up. 😂

I always think hiwatt amps are way more boutique priced than they are, like I don't know why but I just expect them to be in the friedman price range.

@nathanmachine- 5 месяцев назад

do you think it might run out of headroom with a couple of gain related pedals? the t20-10 might be worth a step up for the pedal platform player maybe?

@FuzzedDrones 5 месяцев назад

It could possible but I’m not familiar with the model that you mentioned . So I wouldn’t be able to really say yes or no . But I’m sure it wouldn’t hurt .

@saturnskull1242 5 месяцев назад

Have the same amp. Clean side is good with some pedals, for example rat circuits, but muffs really don't shine. They sound thin and if you increase bass they sound muddy same if you roll back treble. Gain channel doesn't take pedals well at all even at low gain settings, the sound with muffs and rats is blurry plus amp gain dominates over any pedal character. As far as how high gain it is, medium output pickups won't do the job if you like really gained up sounds, high output like a sd invader sounds more gainy of course. Overall I'm not very impressed with it, but hey it's up to personal taste I guess.

@FuzzedDrones 5 месяцев назад

Well I agree with you on somethings . The gain channel isn’t that bad for pedals . I would just prefer the clean channel for that . You just really need to dial it back . The standalone section with the Black Mass fuzz was with the gain channel . Honestly I thought it took it very well . Now I agree with you on Muffs really not liking the clean channel . But I think that is due to the treble response on this amp . If you really bring back the treble and crank the bass . It fills the tone out a bit better . But yes everyone is going to have their own opinion on it . If it works for you then use it . If not there is plenty of other amps out there for ya .

Low headroom amps are killer for dirt.....but if you want volume can't avoid the big monster 100 water...

@Musicsports 7 дней назад

Well......I used to play a Carvin 100XB 100 Watt half stack at bars and nightclubs with my band. It was crushingly loud. Had the Police called during a downtown gig for excessive noise. Lololol. 100 Watt tube amps are for Arena's or getting arrested. 😂

They also work well for shaking pictures & plates off the walls of bar/restaurants.

@DrRepper 5 месяцев назад

That's really cool. I should invest in a lunchbox head at some point, my amp habot is taking ul a lot of space... Two questions: Does it have a loop? I assume the answer to this is 'yes' but are the channels footswitchable?

@FuzzedDrones 5 месяцев назад

It a really cool little amp especially if you record stuff at home . So to answer your questions . It does not have a loop and the only way to switch channels is with the button on the front of the amp. I know a lot of people have asked me already if it had a loop . But all and all it’s a great bang for your buck .

A 5Watt valve amp can rattle the widows out of most 'bedrooms' and WILL wake the kids ..............or the parents..................and the neighbours..................and possibly the neighbours neighbours. My DSL1 on it's 0.1W setting still easily reaches 95db. There is probably no such thing a a bedroom amp in reality.
