Hey all,
I love Hiwatt amps. Well, in theory at least. I've never really even played one, only models of them, and of course I've heard them as used by some of my favorite players-- Gilmour in particular--on some great live recordings. I'm aware of the sound and general vibe of the DR103, DR504, and all of the variations on theme, including the SA20 studio amp.
Needless to say, I've been looking to get one and have been doing some research, and for some reason there's this gigantic void of information about any other amps they've ever manufactured. In particular there's the "LEAD" series they made sometime in the 80s I believe. There's a good number of them on Reverb and so on, but I can't find any information about them.
So, I'm turning to all of you; what the deal with the CUSTOM LEAD 100, 50, etc etc?
Muchas gracias,
Max
