Hiwatt Super Leeds 150R 3-Channel Guitar Amplifier Head, 150 Watts

Hiwatt Super Leeds 150R Guitar Amplifier Head

The Hiwatt Super Leeds 150R Guitar Amplifier Head is a 150W solid-state head with Clean, Vintage Overdrive, and Modern Overdrive operation, real spring reverb, independent Clean and Overdrive EQ sections, and an effects loop. It provides high-output amplification with dedicated tone controls and flexible connections for stage, rehearsal, and pedal-based guitar rigs.

The Clean section includes its own Volume, Bass, Middle, and Treble controls, while the Overdrive section adds separate Volume, 3-band EQ, Contour, Gain 1, and Gain 2 controls. A Gain Flavor switch changes the overdrive character, giving players access to distinct drive settings without requiring an external distortion device. Master Volume and adjustable spring reverb provide final control over overall level and ambience.

Rear-panel connectivity supports more complex guitar systems with effects Send and Return, a direct line output, footswitch connection, and two parallel external speaker outputs. The speaker connections require a minimum total load of 4 ohms. A 3.5 mm auxiliary input and dedicated headphone output expand practice options, while switchable operating voltage supports use across different mains regions.
