Page 11 - Triwatt Custom Lead Amp Builder's Guide

Guitars - The TRIWATT can handle many guitars with aplomb. Tele, Strat, Danos, Ric, Les
Paul with P90's for the single coils, and Les Paul, SG, Seymour Duncan hot-rodded Fender
Cyclone for 'buckers, PRS Mira in both 'bucker and single mode - have all been tested with
this amp, and every guitar sounds GREAT. Also, Hiwatts are known for taking a lot of
pedals really well. The TRIWATT does not disappoint in this area either.
Key Points about the TRIWATT Design
 Big Hiwatt DR clean tones and breakup at more ear-friendly levels
 Vintage style early '70s 103 preamp (with cathode-follower)
 Three-inputs - Normal, Bright and Link, like Dave Gilmour's 3-input amps
 Switchable 80s' "Biacrown era" high-gain OL/Lead mode, with Overdrive control
and optional footswitch
 Early Hiwatt style 12AT7 phase invertor, with 12AX7 option for increased breakup
 Solid State rectified, fixed-bias, 22 Watt 6V6 power stage, based closely on Hiwatt
original
 Optional 6V6 or KT66 operation with External Bias Control and Bias Test Points
 Transformers closely based on original Hiwatt Partridge transformers for definitive
tone
 Preamp easily modded for Pete Townshend or Jimmy Page/SAP variants
 Compact physical format and cabinet - chassis also fits other standard cabs
