Hiwatt T20/10 Head

Twenty watts of EL84 power with a switch that halves it to 10, which is how the T20/10 head gets its power valves to break up at a volume a stage can tolerate.

Two channels, normal and overdrive, share a three-band EQ with a pull-out tone shift on the Middle control. A true spring reverb tank and an effects loop are built in and both footswitch, and there is a line output alongside the extension speaker jack. Two ECC83s and an ECC82 make up the preamp, and the cathode-biased Class A output stage is what makes it responsive to picking.
