The HIWATT Custom 100 DR-103 is one of the most famous British tube amplifiers, known for its powerful clean sound, extreme headroom and outstanding clarity. With 100 watts of power and an EL34 power amp, it delivers a punchy, direct sound that is particularly popular for classic rock, prog rock and hard rock.

This amplifier became particularly well known through David Gilmour of Pink Floyd, who used it for its huge, atmospheric guitar sound with perfectly defined highs and powerful bass. Thanks to its hand-wired construction and extremely high-quality components, the DR-103 offers unparalleled durability and sound quality.

The amplifier features two channels (Normal and Bright) that can be used separately or combined to create a wide range of sound colors. The 4-band EQ (Bass, Middle, Treble, Presence) allows for precise sound adjustment, while the high power ensures a tight, dynamic sound with plenty of headroom.

Thanks to its clean, uncompressed clean sound, the HIWATT Custom 100 DR-103 is an excellent platform for effects pedals. Musicians looking for a pedal-friendly amplifier with a British sound signature will be particularly impressed with this amp.

Whether for gigantic stage sounds or powerful studio recordings, the HIWATT DR-103 is a perfect amplifier for guitarists who seek maximum sound fidelity and a uncompromising tube sound.
