Hiwatt - SE4123F Purpleback

Choosing a baffle isn't just a question of power: it's an essential part of the sound. The Hiwatt SE4123F Purpleback follows this logic, offering a 4x12 capable of providing both depth and definition. Designed to reproduce all the dynamics of Hiwatt amplifiers, it delivers the solid bass and controlled highs that have been the hallmark of the brand since the late 60s.

This model is equipped with 4 Fane Purpleback 12" speakers, each capable of handling 150 W, for a total power of 600 W. This choice is not insignificant: the Purplebacks offer a firm response in the midrange, with a slightly rough grain that allows you to get out of the mix without losing clarity. For guitarists looking for a full, rich sound that can be exploited live, this is a safe bet.

The body, made from 18mm multi-ply birch, is designed to vibrate just right, without ever warping. This type of construction, faithful to Hiwatt's historic methods, ensures uniform projection and rock-solid solidity.

With its closed format, the SE4123F emphasises density and perceived power, ideal for large stages or for those who want to rediscover that classic wall of sound.

Each baffle is hand-wired and tested in the brand's English workshops, to the rigorous standards inherited from Harry Joyce. This guarantees not only long-term reliability, but also total respect for the original Hiwatt sound.

More than just a baffle, the SE4123F Purpleback is a masterpiece that allows your amp to reveal its full personality, with an instantly recognisable sound signature.
