Hiwatt Leeds 25R 2-Channel Guitar Amplifier Head with Reverb, 25 Watts

Hiwatt Leeds 25R 25W Guitar Amplifier Head

The Hiwatt Leeds 25R 25W Guitar Amplifier Head is a compact two-channel head built around a solid-state preamp, with Clean and Overdrive operation, real spring reverb, shared 3-band EQ, and a passive effects loop. It drives compatible 4-8 ohm guitar cabinets while providing a portable platform for practice, recording, rehearsals, and smaller live setups.

The Clean channel has its own volume control, while the Overdrive section adds Gain, Contour, and Volume controls for shaping driven tones. A shared Bass, Middle, and Treble EQ adjusts the overall frequency balance, and the Contour circuit specifically sculpts the Overdrive channel's midrange. Players can switch channels from the front panel or use a compatible footswitch for hands-free channel and reverb control.

Connectivity includes a 1/4" instrument input, 3.5 mm auxiliary input, 3.5 mm headphone output, external speaker connection, and effects Send and Return jacks. The Send output can also serve as a direct recording output. The current manufacturer rear-panel image specifies a 15V DC, 2.5A power input, while the supplied power adapter provides the required operating power.
