About me:
HIWATT HISTORY
These are the wonderful classic valve guitar amps known as HIWATTs - the product of the design genius of the late Dave Reeves.
Dave Reeves worked at Mullard during the day, but in the evenings he worked in a tiny shop in Morden, where he repaired hifi sets and televisions as well as musical instrument amplifiers. It was here he conceived the idea for a unique, sturdy and reliable line of amplifiers.
Reeves' designs were never just "me too" copies of existing popular amps, but completely original and different. These amplifiers used only the highest quality components inside and out, featuring transformers by Partridge and valves by Mullard from the earliest days.
After producing a run of amplifiers rebadged for Sound City and being let go by Mullard, he built a house in New Malden in 1968, and started building his Hiwatt amplifiers full time in the garage.
HIWATT was a life-long labor of love for Reeves, and he ran the company until his unfortunate accidental death in 1981. The company struggled on for a few years afterwards, but fell apart by early 1984, when the name was sold and a few different entities have preserved HIWATT's legacy until present day.
HIWATT UK is current manufacturer of all valve units and cabinets (Classic Series in North America) and HIWATT AMPLIFICATION distributes and represents the product range in the new world, additionally offering the affordable Bulldog Series amplifiers and a range of award winning effects and accessories, such as the Custom Tape Echo, Custom Wah and the Echo Theremin.
Please visit www.HIWATT.com if you reside in North America, or www.HIWATT.co.uk for the rest of the world.
