So stoked for this video and to be in CME. Nathaniel absolutely nailed Everest! I was stood in the the live room of Studio 2 at Abbey Road whilst Ben recorded it. Pretty much identical!!

[@chicagomusicexchange]

So Stoked to have Hiwatt at the store! 🤘🤘

[@micktheman6]

Nice, All Then Witches! Which was recorded using a Hi-Watt 👏

[@chicagomusicexchange]

🤘🤘

[@DavidAzizinamini]

Great band!

[@caiooliveira9979]

Love the tidbit about the amps being used in open mics. You can actually see one featured in Central Perk in Friends when Phoebe is playing there 😂

[@chicagomusicexchange]

Haha that’s awesome! 😂

[@SeekerElectricEffects]

Arv is the man! Been using a new Custom 50/504, it’s the real deal! ❤

[@northsidesoxfan]

"Flying" by the Faces. Well done Nathaniel!!!!

[@chicagomusicexchange]

🤘🤘

[@jbrobertson2758]

I would like to see the 'plugged in' settings Nathaniel is playing rather than plain Jane photos of the amp or effect he's using with no cords attached. Clue us in!

[@weneck]

Hard to watch this video without tearing up. Hilarious! Is there any piece of equipment that doesn't sound amazing with Nathaniel at the helm?

[@chicagomusicexchange]

Thank you! David and Nathaniel always struggle to keep a straight face when doing videos together lol 😂

[@DavidAzizinamini]

🤘

[@HorvatIvan]

What riff/song is Nathaniel playing at 13:07? Thanks!

[@briansilcox5720]

You could plug Nate into a bathroom heater and it would sound good.

[@Sixstringer666]

Great content, music plYING AND HUMOUR

[@LIGHTintheHALLS]

Hiwatt DR504 is my favorite amp of all time. I like my 1975 50 watt HIWATT better than the 100 watt because it feels more dynamic.

[@cheffredheurtin3456]

I had a white script badge Hiwatt with top mount controls, i was more vox than Hiwatt and used KT 88s -- i believe it was three channels

[@chicagomusicexchange]

That’s awesome!!! 🤘🤘

[@cheffredheurtin3456]

@@chicagomusicexchange It really didnt sound like a Hiwatt at all.

[@DukeLoose]

Nice Duane Dennison nod, Mr Murphy. Mouthbreathers Know.

I have an early Hi-Tone 30, linked input, 15/30 watt setting. I know its not the same as the originals but there's nothing closer, awesome pedal platform. I'd never part with it, it's truly one of those find another amps.

[@DavidAzizinamini]

Hi Tones are excellent amps:)

[@chicagomusicexchange]

That sounds awesome! 🤘🤘

[@RN-gp3iv]

Alex Lifeson used them...

[@tinman4585]

I sold a 73 custom 100 for $400 30 years ago

[@DrMattWalton]

Is that The Pusher? ….Steppenwolf

[@chicagomusicexchange]

Yup! 🤘🤘

[@NickHobart]

'ELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@thebreakfastmenu]

Someday I'll own a Hiwatt. Just kidding, no one will buy my diabetes-damaged kidneys.

[@AndyRooney2001]

Harry Joyce rarely signed the Hiwatt chassis. If you have a Hiwatt with a printed Harry Joyce signature on the bottom of the chassis? It's fake. Harry never signed any chassis there nor printed his signature. Harry was my friend and business partner with his own line of amplifiers. Reeves brought Harry in because to many amps were being returned to Reeves because of poor design. Harry corrected all the issues. He built his last Hiwatt in 1976. Any other story is rubbish as Harry would put it...

[@jerryyeaaah15]

one of those script is still sitting in guitar center hollywood😄sb needs to rescue that

[@DavidAzizinamini]

I know about that one; never played it, obviously, but man, I love ours!

[@jerryyeaaah15]

@ I saw it in person it was so pretty and in very nice condition

[@xagikneex]

The 69 sounds the best. The 67 actually sounds like doo doo
