That Hiwatt was built by my great uncle. Lovely to hear it! I have a Harry Joyce 50 watt combo, serial number 001 that was a 16th birthday present. Still the best amp I own.
@@JB_Eckl I didn’t. Hiwatt was named by Dave Reeves, my great uncle worked for him, as a builder in the early 70’s until Dave’s death. He then started making amps under his own name “Harry Joyce”
Harry Joyce Electronics did begin wiring amps for HIWATT in 1970. My '71 DR103 (serial 11**) has the red inspection marks on solder points so it was wired by them
With all the - I don't want to say gloomy - "serious" episodes where Mick mentions mental health and just health in general, seeing him joyful and just plain giddy is what makes this episode great! Looks like you both had a well needed and deserved blast, and it shows! Cheers from France.
I could just watch intro’s like this, and be 100% fulfilled with inspiration and close the video. But, you guys are so infectious with your playing, chat and knowledge that it keeps me locked in. You guys are in your own league. 💜🎸
Whenever you guys play a hiwatt I’m always struck that it sounds to me like sounds I’ve heard in famous albums. Maybe famous live albums too. Maybe it’s The Who, Pink Floyd, I’m not sure, but it really evokes classic rock that I’ve heard before. More than any Marshall’s or fenders and whatnot.
Absolutely brilliant. I've been in the presence of Gilmour's volume, it really is out of this world and shakes you to the core. At the same time it's so clean, not very distorted until he really wants it. I'd give anything to be there again.
VOLUME. Gain with clarity. I saw Floyd back in the late 80s. Every note DG played sang and bloomed out with, like the OP said, clarity and "clean distortion". Volume. There is no substitute. Quantitative change (increase in volume) leads to qualitative change (guitar becomes a different instrument). I think I've heard that said once or twice on this show, yeah? ;)
Aw man! I love seeing how excited you guys are playing this stuff and playing LOUD! So many great tones, and Dan, loving the new Longbottom guitar! It sounds amazing! Seriously, what a giant bucket of inspiration!!!!
On the advice of a friend, my first gigging amp was a 70's Hiwatt 100 into a Marshall cab.Back then, there wasn't the info there is now , and I learned fast that it took stacking Rats and Muffs to get it to overdrive at any reasonable volume.Remains clear in my memory as so clean, and so mercilessly loud on 3, - just a good thing we practiced in abandoned warehouses. Another guitarist friend had a little Princeton , which I learned equally quickly, - was totally my bag.
Coda is my local store, I’m glad they handled that refund and such professionally, it’s an excellent place! That amps also the coolest tone you guys have had on the show since the LA30BL!
I have a Hiwatt DR504, and it is the biggest sounding amp I ever had. I love it, its big clean sounds, the build quality (the insides are just an art piece to look at), It is just perfect. An awesome video guys, what a stellar sounds!
Love your regular informative videos, but there's nothing wrong with videos like this every once in a while, just some great tone and playing. Really enjoyed this!
Well done, boys. I'm so disappointed when an episode is over. Hard to come back to earth with so much soaring playing. There's no substitute for Dan's reactions, the old horse dealer. New logo is superb, dialed in perfectly at 2 o'clock and the intro animation is perfect. So glad you guys are back in full. Can't wait 'till next Friday! Cheers. -G
Mega. Just, mega. Wow wow wow wow - wow. Mick, your playing with the Collings was just, inspirational as always. Rock on. There's nothing else to say on that one really, just, absolutely speechless.
'Mick meets.. Marty Schwartz' Haha couldn't resist. Another great show, that Hiwatt sounds so good.. possibly a bit too loud for the gigs I do.. Jim from Leeds
Alright...let's be real here. Mick has some of the best feel I've ever encountered. Truly a magnificent player. Dan is amazing in his own right, but jeez.......Mick is on another level.
I don't know what you're talking about, with Mick, it's neat seeing his level of technical virtuosity, but I love watching him play because he can get so lost in his style, while with Dan, it's neat seeing his level of technical virtuosity, but I love watching him play because he can get so lost in his style. Two different styles, both excellent, and I wouldn't trade either for the other.
Watching the smile on Dan’s face and Mick wandering around pulling those awesome licks out wearing a strap is so much more entertaining than seeing you both sat on the chairs the whole time. Mick and his faces while leaning back into the sound with the strap on is a joy to watch. Keep it up fellas.
I've been making records for twenty odd years and Hiwatt days were always great guitar days in the studio. The 504s were always great, but punishing. 103s are awesome, but can't be in the same room with the matching cab. Diming the master always resulted in gorgeous tones that were face meltingly loud. Love the cleans these guys produce. Grindy stuff is unparalleled, but maybe too deafening.
Even with the cabinet adventure you went on, the Hiwatt sounds glorious. Both amps are tremendous. Makes me wonder if the glory comes from the overall volume as an integral part of the experience. My answer is YES. I am sure all of us watching would love to come over and have play. Thanks as always guys.
I bought a 79 Marshall JMP one time. Played it at a gig. Sounded good. The next night I played one of my Hiwatts. A buddy had come to both nights. He was sitting where he couldn’t see the head. Second night after the show he said “Man - it sounds so much better tonight”…. And that’s how Hiwatts are.
Well since the cab wasn't up to snuf, they'll have to be a revisit vid. :) Also great to get to see the Jag even for a few seconds. (quick Jag tip, try the strangle switch with some Big Muffs)
I enjoyed hearing Blue and Red again. Not only do the guitars sound great, but since I’ve heard them on so many episodes they now provide a good reference point on new ideas and equipment.
Making me think about one of my guitar heroes the late, great Bernie Torme. Often seen in proximity to a HiWatt stack, especially in the Electric Gypsies days. Sad loss. Great show as ever TPS.
The year was ‘97, 16 year old me was preparing to play my first show with 4 friends in front of our high school “st. Patsapalooza” when one of our amps blew...our local shop had an amazing amp tech who was also a cousin of a band mate and the only loaner he had was one of these. With our lives as collateral, we brought it to practice and eventually on stage. Never forgot the first guitar sound of the HiWatt and a Russian big muff when the A kicked on on sweet emotion by Aerosmith!....memories!
When you added the Marshall and the Hiwatt together, that was quite easily the most British sounding tone you've had on the channel so far. Sounded great!!
Another wonderful episode. Despite the cab situation, there were still fantastic tones to be had there. It shows that quality amps, pedals, and of course players factor in so much to the overall tone. Hiwatts are underrated, especially for their clean tones, I think. And speaking of quality amps, on older designs there is the "swirl" sound that can happen. Apparently this is due mostly to bias shift. I would love for a video on that aspect of older amps, how pedals can enhance or mitigate the effect, as well as how or if it lends itself to inspiration. Thank you to everyone working at TPS for your endeavor to educate, investigate, and have fun with tones. It makes for a wonderful way to start Fridays.
Glorious, greetings and salutations from Muscle Shoals Alabama hit recording capital of the world 🗺. Missed the live show. A doff of the chapeau to you my good sirs
I don't have a hiwatt but I have a 120 watts vox ac120. Once I played through it dimed at 1 meter from me, most amazing experience ever. There is just nothing that beat the tone and feel of that amp for me, it is perfect.
Loved your new logo!!! A lot more elegant! Thanks for throwing in a couple affordable pieces of gear! And it was a great idea to invite Martin Schwartz for this episode!
Lovely video guys. You fullfiled m wildest audio dreams since I will NEVER be able to play with a Hiwatt at such glorious volumes let alone ownig one. Superb playing from both of you and great tribute to both David Gilmour and Eric Johnson.
Love the show! Just got a milkman delay from JHS in the mail yesterday after binging your videos last weekend. Probably should be playing but it's 7:10 am, I'll watch this and drink my coffee and play afterwards.
@@ThatPedalShow unfortunately, a vintage hiwatt is a little out of my price range, but through my blues Jr, sounds great. My first "always on" pedal for sure. I see what you guys were talking about with the boost.
I live in a region of the USA where the Amish have a strong presence. They only use horses for transport and work. Dan's hat and beard make me want to start calling him Jacob.
You guys have really opened my eyes to what single coils can handle and actually do I’ve always been a humbucker guy but now considering taking the hot rails out of my traditional Chapman and making it single cooked again : also just got a strat cause of you guys ! Cheers this episode was awesome !!
You are absolutely right, CODA Music is a wonderful Guitar store, I bought two TWO ROCK amps there.. Solid show again gents... Mick your board is insane
Crazy as it sounds, I had friend who had one of these Hiwatt Custom 100 heads, plus two 2x12 cabs in the bedroom of his parent’s semi-detached house, and we used to rehearse there. It had a glorious sound, which I have always considered a benchmark and, despite owning some excellent amps over the years, I don’t think I have ever played through anything better. He had a Binson Echorec that acted as a pre-amp and the combination was truly fantastic. I’m not sure his neighbours were quite so impressed but that amp certainly left a great impression on me…..
No offense to anyone. I love the show and people make mistakes. That said, I am amazed how often I’m in a shop or inquiring about a cab, and the seller hasn’t opened it up to confirm what speakers are inside. It doesn’t take that long and if the cab is old, you really don’t know what you might find inside. In my experience, when I’ve asked to pop open a cab, it’s about a 50% chance that the speakers inside are not what the seller thought was in there!!!!
I'm fortunate to have an 18 watt Hi-Tone combo and it can approximate that sound but it still has to get ungodly loud first. I can't imagine the sheer force of a 100 watter.
That Hiwatt was built by my great uncle. Lovely to hear it! I have a Harry Joyce 50 watt combo, serial number 001 that was a 16th birthday present. Still the best amp I own.
Ah man. Harry’s sig is on the inside. What a lovely legacy Dave, thanks so much for sharing!
I just want to know why you abbreviated your last name from ‘Hiwatt’ to just ‘Hatt.’
@@JB_Eckl I didn’t. Hiwatt was named by Dave Reeves, my great uncle worked for him, as a builder in the early 70’s until Dave’s death. He then started making amps under his own name “Harry Joyce”
@@davehatt7788 I'm just kidding. But I do love the visual connection.
Harry Joyce Electronics did begin wiring amps for HIWATT in 1970. My '71 DR103 (serial 11**) has the red inspection marks on solder points so it was wired by them
This is the moment where the better part of the week starts
agreed!!
Amen brother
You said it!
i realize it's quite off topic but do anybody know of a good place to stream newly released series online ?
My lord I just love this show. The abandon-less joy you both experience playing is infectious.
Thank you!
Abandon-less? I think I know what you mean :-)
Exactly. The way they look at one another - mutually inspired by one another
I've just spent all my money on a 1976 4 input dr103 and 4x12 cab in mint condition.
I'm so excited to get home and hear its sweet magic!
Every week.
“Dammit, now I need a...”

Ah man. Thank you!
I love when Dan finds his zen state while playing. We should all play with such emotion.
Whenever you guys play a hiwatt I’m always struck that it sounds to me like sounds I’ve heard in famous albums. Maybe famous live albums too. Maybe it’s The Who, Pink Floyd, I’m not sure, but it really evokes classic rock that I’ve heard before. More than any Marshall’s or fenders and whatnot.
I agree. There’s a classic tone there, it’s like the sound of 70s classic rock
I had to check that sir dave of gilmourshire hadn't suddenly died as Dan was REALLY channeling his spirit
Have to say, I think both of you have progressed exponentially since lockdown started. The standard is bettering itself weekly! Cudos!👍👍
Absolutely brilliant. I've been in the presence of Gilmour's volume, it really is out of this world and shakes you to the core. At the same time it's so clean, not very distorted until he really wants it. I'd give anything to be there again.
See now that is it right there. Clean but distorted. You only get that with massive headroom. That’s my happy place, and I think Dan’s too.
VOLUME. Gain with clarity.
I saw Floyd back in the late 80s. Every note DG played sang and bloomed out with, like the OP said, clarity and "clean distortion".
Volume. There is no substitute. Quantitative change (increase in volume) leads to qualitative change (guitar becomes a different instrument).
I think I've heard that said once or twice on this show, yeah? ;)
Aw man! I love seeing how excited you guys are playing this stuff and playing LOUD! So many great tones, and Dan, loving the new Longbottom guitar! It sounds amazing!
Seriously, what a giant bucket of inspiration!!!!
Cheers Wes, I’m really taken with the LB, haven’t put it down since I got it, so much fun to play 🤓🙏
Cheers Was
Absolutely epic tones, even with the wrong cab. The character of each guitar really seems to come through with the HiWatt. Cheers!
On the advice of a friend, my first gigging amp was a 70's Hiwatt 100 into a Marshall cab.Back then, there wasn't the info there is now , and I learned fast that it took stacking Rats and Muffs to get it to overdrive at any reasonable volume.Remains clear in my memory as so clean, and so mercilessly loud on 3, - just a good thing we practiced in abandoned warehouses. Another guitarist friend had a little Princeton , which I learned equally quickly, - was totally my bag.
Coda is my local store, I’m glad they handled that refund and such professionally, it’s an excellent place! That amps also the coolest tone you guys have had on the show since the LA30BL!
Never thought I was a fan of the Hiwatt but that sounds absolutely mega, gents! Thanks for everything you do, guys - the TPS community appreciates it!
I have a Hiwatt DR504, and it is the biggest sounding amp I ever had. I love it, its big clean sounds, the build quality (the insides are just an art piece to look at), It is just perfect.
An awesome video guys, what a stellar sounds!
Dan’s new T-style custom looks and sounds *amazeballs* !
Stellar playing from both of you, what a wonderful way to usher in the weekend.
Rock on!
Cheers Ran Zer , it's actually the old one modified

The quality of this show is off the charts. I need to refocus my efforts to keep up with every episode. Damnit!
Thank you Erik!

Thank you so much G!
That Collings sounds so good. Love it gents. Thank you for all you do. You guys provide so much value to the community.
Thank you!
That hiwatt and a full out OR120/Matamp with some fuzz is a dream sound for me. Amazing tone with that Tele and Jaguar there, simply magical.

Shame about the cab boys, however we all know how good Coda are so im glad its them you got it from.
Yep. Genuine mistake we think. They are good folks!
And it still sounded awesome!
What glorious sound on a Friday evening.
After a buying a brand new Tele after a 20 year break from playing, your show reminds what a joy playing guitar actually is. Thanks heaps gentlemen.
Yes! This is what we want. Awesome!
Amp-induced self-actualisation, what bliss!
Blimey O’Reilly that sounded great! Great to see Mick laughing with glee at the sounds he’s getting.
"Giant, bottom end kind of sounds."
-Mick
Good t-shirt idea
Dan 100% plays better the louder he is! Phenomenal!
Great opening riffs. Looking forward to the video. Thanks 🙏
Love the show. This week's musical intro was food for the soul!

Brilliant, always a great time watching you two play through some great tones and the fact we all get to soak it in it just fantastic.
Stunning . . . The best amp ever? Certainly one of the best and you guys really demoed what it can do. Thanks.
