Hiwatt SUPER-HI 50 - 50W 2-Ch High Gain Amplifier

Hiwatt Super-Hi 50 – Classic Name, Modern Gain

The Hiwatt Super-Hi 50 is not your average amp—it’s a high-gain powerhouse built to dominate stages and studios alike. Combining Hiwatt’s legendary clean power section with a cascaded preamp, it rips from crystal-clear cleans to face-melting overdrive, giving you four distinct levels of gain at your fingertips. Every note punches through, every riff commands attention, and every solo cuts like a razor.

Equipped with two footswitchable channels and a channel-independent Super-Hi boost, this amp is engineered for players who don’t compromise. Crank the gain, hit the boost, and watch your tone explode with harmonic richness and sustain. The post-gain FX loop ensures your modulation and time-based effects stay pristine, even when the amp is raging at full saturation.

Built with classic EL34 output valves and a tight, responsive Hiwatt power section, the Super-Hi 50 delivers insane headroom, razor-sharp attack, and thunderous dynamics. Deep resonance and full EQ controls let you sculpt lows, mids, and highs with precision, whether you’re crushing metal riffs, shredding solos, or laying down aggressive rock tones.
