Used Hiwatt Maxwatt Tube Distortion Effects Pedal
Used Maxwatt Tube Distortion Effects Pedal with Adapter and original box in excellent condition.
The Maxwatt Tube Distortion is a rare, vintage 2000s stompbox manufactured in England by Hiwatt. It uses a genuine vacuum tube to deliver thick, saturated amp-style clipping, though its EQ profile can be naturally very bassy and dark, often requiring an overdrive or boost in front of it.
Overview of the Maxwatt Tube Distortion
- Origin: Made in the UK by Hiwatt during the 2000s.
- Tone Profile: Produces a thick, heavy saturation and signature Hiwatt "kerrang" with aggressive low-mids when dialed in correctly.
- Circuitry: Features a physical preamp vacuum tube for organic tube compression and dynamics rather than relying purely on solid-state clipping.
- Controls: Typically includes standard Drive/Gain, Tone/Contour, and Level controls, as well as an active Treble/Bass EQ that allows for scooped or mid-focused tones.
