Isnt Hiwatt now Music Ground aka JMI? I heard this somewhere recently and if its true Ill pass. JMI/MG = Garbage
A friend of mine works as the local distributor for them here. He lent me one a while back when I was thinking of buying one. I dug the sound, was very nice. Not a much tweakability, but what it did I thought it did very well. The thing that put me off was the large size and the fact that it needed 18V power. Just not very pedal board friendly. Can't comment on quality or reliability.
