A bedroom amp that RIPS! | Hiwatt Hi-5 Combo Amp | Clean & Dirty Sounds w/ Treetone Guitars Stella
I love a good 5-watt combo, and have been quite curious about this specific one for some time. I don’t usually turn to dual-channel amps as I usually add my gain with pedals, but I was quite impressed with both clean and dirty sounds on this amp! The cleans are sparkly, clear and powerful. The overdrive is thick and warm and hairy in a really cool way. Check out this video to hear both!
Hiwatt is legendary for their bold, bright clean tones, with some of my favorite players such as David Gilmour, Jonny Buckland, The 1975 and others turning to these bold British amps at various points in their careers. Hiwatt captures the magic of their unique sound in this portable, compact yet powerful all-tube combo.
The Hiwatt Hi-5 sports a single 12AX7 preamp and EL84 power amp, with a well-paired Celestial g10-40 speaker for dynamic, touch-sensitive tones across a wide gain range.

I have a Swart Atomic Jr, a Bugera V5 and a Marshall DSL1CR, This is my next tube amp.
Can this handle pedals very well?
I own this exact guitar now. Man such a nice instrument. Well built and a joy to play.
Does it take pedals well?
Wah-hah-hooow!
This little amp sounds great! Pristine clean tones and nicely focused dirty tones.
Great demo, mahalos! ????????????
that's the cutest thing I've ever seen
Wow, beadroom amps have come a long way. Awesome job showcasing the amp in different styles of playing.
I sold all my drive pedals after I got a good dual channel amp for gain needs.
oh man. this little amp excites me. when i move one day and don't have a transformer directly above my studio space, this has hit the want list for a stereo pair with my ac-15. i wanna hear so much more of this! how does it sound with ambient stuff running through it? i know there's a head version of this, but does this have a speaker out to run, say, a 1×12?
Dude. I wanna learn to play like you! So awesome.
Impressive sounding little combo.
damn, just damn.
It sounds so good! I’ve been looking at the head version but the combo version is really cool.
