Hiwatt - SE112F Fane Purpleblack 150

The SE112F retains the DNA of Hiwatt baffles: a compact format, construction faithful to historic methods, and astonishing sound projection for a 1x12. But what changes everything about this version is the loudspeaker. Instead of the Fane F75, here we have the Fane Purpleback, a 12" model designed to handle 150W. This detail makes all the difference to the gaming experience.

With this speaker, the power reserve is much greater. The Purpleback offers considerable headroom: it lets you turn up the volume without losing the clarity of clear sounds, even in noisy environments.

This ability to remain clean and defined at high volumes makes it an ideal choice for guitarists who want to keep the Hiwatt grain intact in rehearsal or on stage. But it also responds well to saturation, projecting a full, powerful overdrive without unwanted distortion.

As always with Hiwatt, the cabinet is made from 18mm birch plywood, with a low-mounted driver to reinforce the bass. The result is a cab that retains surprising sonic depth despite its size.

By choosing the SE112F Purpleback, you're not just opting for a practical size, you're also adopting a speaker designed to give the guitar a clear, powerful presence, exactly in the spirit of Hiwatt amps.
