Hiwatt Pedalsmith 30 Head

The Hiwatt Pedalsmith 30 Head is inspired by the legendary DR504 circuit from the 1970s - the design heard on iconic records by The Who, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd. Modern artists like IDLES and Russian Circles also rely on this sound. The Pedalsmith 30 brings this heritage to today, with the same classic Normal/Brilliant channels and High/Low inputs, but topped off with modern conveniences like a silent FX loop and internally looped inputs. This makes it effortless to find those unique classic guitar tones while giving you the freedom to build your own sound.

Set to clean, the Pedalsmith 30 is the ultimate high-headroom, high-output pedal platform: an amp that can effortlessly handle any combination of effects and pedals. Turn it open toward overdrive, and you get exactly what Hiwatt is famous for: warm tube compression and musical crunch, without drowning out the sound of your guitar. The result is a tonal character that is completely unique within the British amp tradition.

The Pedalsmith 30's FX loop is specially designed to be quiet and transparent. Quiet means that no extra noise or hum is added, and transparent that your tone and dynamics remain unaffected. Thus modulation, delay and reverb effects always sound crystal clear, even when you turn up the gain considerably.

The Pedalsmith 30 uses 6V6 power tubes that provide 30W of power. This gives you the full tube overdrive and response even at lower volumes - ideal for studio, rehearsal and smaller stages.
