I got this one for 1500$ CAN ($1120 U.S), and I rarely see them for less than 2000$ CAN, if I see them at all. This one is from the desirable hylight era too.

I plan to play this in stereo with my modified Laney AOR (modded similarly to JMP/JCM 2203 specs) :rock:

Between these two amps, and my dirt pedals, I no longer have any amp or dirt pedal gas :D

Nice. One of my all-time "want it" amps.

OMG. Ruiner. YOUR AMPS AND DELAYS...<3

I'll running any one of the following or stacked: mojo titan (sonic titan clone), don't shred on me deluxe (rat clone), thorne toucher (Boss HM-2 clone), timmy, or a Jacob Fuzz (Ram's head clone).

I won't get a chance to play the amp until this weekend. I also have a Mesa F-100, which I love for the clean and high headroom, but now with the hiwatt, I'll prob eventually sell the mesa.

Nice! It really is the ultimate pedal platform IMO. I'll have to check out some of that dirt you mentioned... been looking for a Ram's head clone too....

How do you jump the inputs on yours? I'm curious as to how that works.

bottom are higher gain is really the only thing you have to remember.

I started as you see in the picture. I think right now i plug into the bottom left and jump the top left to the bottom right.... but i would definitely say experiment and find the tone that works for you.
