100W of pure valve-driven Hiwatt Headroom. The DR88 occupies the sweetspot between crystal clean and silky overdrive. Push the channel volume or jump the channels for dirt and saturation. Designed for bass tones, the DR88 also excels for down-tuned guitars, baritones, or just a different flavour of KT88 based tones. The iconic British sound trusted by musicians and engineers for generations.
Faithfully hand-wired according to Dave Reeve's original late 60's circuit design.
A unique, silky character set apart by the dual KT88 output valves.
Hiwatt is the premier pedal platform prized for clarity and headroom. Presents pedals true to your sound — no effects loop required.
