A great amp for people that like to do it with pedals.

They can crunch rather well on their own

UPDATE....well this thing is a monster for sure, huge bass and actually really nice crunch with the right settings....and it definately had the headroom.....i didnt really go past 5 on the volume either, i cant imagine on 7 or 8......... i definately am gonna snatch it up, its rock n roll

Good choice, it's definitely plenty loud. I can't imagine getting one after I got a refund on a broken 200w Sound City head. I realized that was an omen and that these amps have too much power for their own good. 80w of H&K is enough to make the paint peel so that's where I draw the line.

I think it has a pretty amazing sound and with pedals it can do wonders. If I could have one Hiwatt, I'd get an early 70s DR504, because 50watts is just much more reasonable.

And yes, there is quicker breakup on 2 input Hiwatt amps as compared to the 4 input ones.
