Are there any decent Hiwatt clones?

Post by Kellanium »

I can find a shitton of Fender, Marshall, and VOX clones, but i've been scouring the interwebs for hiwatt clones and i can't find a god damned thing.

Haven't actually tried any of these but here's what I know about:

Reeves Amps: http://www.reevesamps.com

Weber Kits: (hear great things about this one actually): https://taweber.powweb.com/store/kits_60b.htm#6H50

Ceriatone makes one called the "HeyWhat" I think...

I believe the Tech 21 Leeds emulates a Hiwatt, in case you want to go a little cheaper than a Reeves or a Weber (although they're fucking awesome amps).
good deals are here.
flesh couch is here.

Ive tried a custom 100 and the jimmy thing. Amazing. Really anal and neat construction. I would honestly buy one of these over a similarly priced vintage hiwatt any day of the week.

I have seen the build pics for it on their forums (i post there often 2) and that is not the most str8 forward first amp build. its a pretty gainy amp and there are lots of problems unless u have some experience

Now, if u got some balls, do it, prove me wrong
