Hiwatt guitar tones

Songs whose original tone used a Hiwatt. Don’t own one? GuitarToneAdapt re-creates the sound on the amp and rig you actually have.

The Hiwatt DR103 is a British amp built for enormous clean headroom — loud, tight, articulate and slow to break up, with a firm low end and a clear, uncoloured midrange. It’s the backbone of David Gilmour’s huge Pink Floyd cleans and Pete Townshend’s wall of sound. To match a Hiwatt tone you keep gain low and lean on volume, EQ and effects rather than amp distortion.
