Hiwatt T20/10 Combo

The T20/10 combo runs two EL84s at 20 watts, scales down to 10 when the room is small, and puts the result through a 100-watt 12-inch Octapulse so the speaker never becomes the limiting factor.

A normal channel and an overdrive channel share a three-band EQ whose Middle control pulls out for a tone shift. Behind them are a true spring reverb tank and an effects loop, both footswitchable, and a line output for the desk. The power stage is cathode-biased Class A, which is where the touch sensitivity comes from.
