Hiwatt T40/20 Combo 2x12

The T40/20 in its 2x12 form: a quartet of EL84s over two 100-watt Octapulse 100-12 speakers, which is the widest the Tube Series gets before it becomes a head and a cabinet.

Power scaling drops 40 watts to 20 for breakup and compression at lower volume. The 2024 revision widened the EQ and revoiced the gain channel for a broader overdrive range, and the pull-out tone shift on the Middle control adds another voicing. True spring reverb and an effects loop are both footswitchable, and a line output feeds front of house.
