Discover the Super-Hi 50, a Hiwatt head designed for guitarists looking for a powerful and precise sound. From the very first notes, you feel the distinctive character of David Reeves circuits, reworked by Fortin Amplification™ to create organic, controlled saturation.

The two channels offer complementary personalities: channel 1 offers thick, throaty gain, ideal for heavy rhythmics, while channel 2 plays on the high harmonics for an incisive, articulate sound.

With its 4 ECC83 preamp tubes and 2 EL34 power tubes, the Super-Hi 50 delivers remarkable dynamics, allowing every note to stand out even in highly saturated passages.

The 3-band EQ and shared Presence give you precise control over your sound, and the transparent effects loop enhances your modulation, delay or reverb pedals without altering the amp's natural saturation.

This amp is designed for drop tunings and 7- or 8-string guitars, thanks to its high, articulated gain that handles extreme levels of saturation while retaining definition and punch.

Independent volume and gain controls on both channels allow you to switch between light crunch and massive distortion, all controllable via the included Hiwatt Custom Shop footswitch.

To complete the rig, the Super-Hi 50 pairs perfectly with the SE212115CF cabinet, combining two 12" and one 15" for deep bass and impressive sonic breadth. Robust, reliable and designed for the stage, it's a head ready to take on the road and unleash all your creative power.
