The clarity in the lows and the punch that characterize the sound of this amplifier make it particularly suitable for hi-gain sounds with drop tunings or with baritone and extended-range guitars. The two channels have separate volume and gain, allowing you to fine-tune your sounds and select them via the included <strong>Super-Hi Footswitch</strong>. Four <strong>ECC83</strong> tubes power the preamp section of this powerful head, while two <strong>EL34</strong> tubes are dedicated to the power amp. The front panel features <strong>Gain 1</strong>, <strong>Gain 2</strong>, <strong>Bass</strong>, <strong>Middle</strong>, <strong>Treble</strong>, <strong>Presence</strong>, <strong>Master 1</strong>, and <strong>Master 2</strong> controls. The rear panel, on the other hand, houses the speaker outputs, the <strong>effects loop</strong>, the footswitch input, and a switch to select the impedance (4 Ω, 8 Ω, or 16 Ω). Based on the original DR504 circuit, this head works very well with gain pedals, such as overdrives or distortions.</p><h2>TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS OF THE HIWATT SUPER-HI 50 HEAD</h2><p><strong>Format:</strong> head<br><strong>Power:</strong> 50 watts<br><strong>Tubes:</strong> 4x ECC83 and 2x EL34<br><strong>Channels:</strong> Gain 1 and Gain 2<br><strong>Input:</strong> 1/4" instrument input jack, 1/4" footswitch jack<br><strong>Output:</strong> 2x 1/4" speaker output<br><strong>Impedance:</strong> 4 Ω, 8 Ω, or 16 Ω selectable from the switch on the rear panel<br><strong>Controls:</strong> Gain 1, Gain 2, Bass, Middle, Treble, Presence, Master 1, Master 2<br><strong>Effects Loop:</strong> yes<br><strong>Height:</strong> 255 mm<br><strong>Width:</strong> 516 mm<br><strong>Depth:</strong> 252 mm<br><strong>Weight:</strong> 16.7 Kg</p>
