Hiwatt T40HD 40W tube guitar amplifier head
Product no: 9000-0030-5033 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

For some guitarists, the rule of thumb is: the more power, the better. Why would you want a compact Hiwatt amp head from the British brand's Tube series when you could have a relatively bigger, more powerful 40-watt version? That's why Hiwatt developed the T40HD 40-watt amp head, which can also be switched to 20 watts. At 20 watts, you can produce a good amount of noise without ending up with a serious hearing impairment. This amp head produces an unmistakably British tube sound thanks to a tried-and-tested formula: two 12AX7 and a 12UX7 in the preamp and four EL84s in the power amp.

T40HD: tea for two

Despite the fact that the two available channels (normal and overdrive) share a 3-band EQ, you can adjust the gain and volume on each one separately. If you're a reverb fan, then you'll be pleased to know the T40 has a built-in spring reverb. This amp head also has connection options for an external speaker, an emulated speaker out, an effects loop (send & return) and a foot switch for switching between channels and turning the reverb on and off. Wherever you're playing, whether it's on stage or in the living room, the Hiwatt T40HD 40-watt tube guitar amp head won't let you down!
