Admired by legends such as David Gilmour of Pink Floyd, this amplifier is known for its ability to deliver dynamic and clear tones that stand out in any musical context.
Equipped with Fane Speakers, the Hiwatt Custom 20H Head produces a classic British high-fidelity tone that captures the essence of the distinctive sound that has defined British rock for decades. Its clean voice and its ability to cut through dense mixes without losing clarity make it a preferred option for demanding musicians.

Output: 2 x 1/4" Speaker Out
Preamp Valves: 3 x ECC83 (12AX7)

Original Partridge spec English transformers. Meticulously hand-wired to Harry Joyce’s exacting military standards. Proudly manufactured in our Custom Shop in Doncaster, England.
The Custom 20 circuit is designed for not just the usual Hiwatt sweet cleans but to also get fat, harmonically complex overdrive when driven; the twin EL84 power section handles both as well and everything in between at usable volumes. A simple, intuitive amplifier which can be pushed into natural compression and overdrive in response to your guitar controls and playing dynamics - the OTHER great Hiwatt sound.
