DR103 Custom 100

The definitive Hiwatt: a 100-watt tube head and the model the brand is known for.

Why it matters

It is the head Hiwatt's reputation rests on, in the catalogue since 1970 and still current. At 100 watts it is the large model in the range, above the Custom 20/50.

Note

The definitive Hiwatt — 100 watts of glassy authority.

Before you buy

  • 100 watts, so check it suits the venues you play
  • it is a head rather than a combo, so a speaker cab is a separate purchase
