NAD Hiwatt Hi-5 limited edition red
I think it'll look badass on top of my blue cab... Hopefully sounds good, or better than a Spark 40 at least.

Curious to see how this works out.
I’ve often been tempted by their baby solid state combos for the cuteness factor.

Sweet!!!
Tubes make a huge difference, especially in smaller amps. My Wangs 5W turned into a monster after I pout some NOS tubes in it.

Re: NAD Hiwatt Hi-5 limited edition red
Nice! I love Hiwatts and have eyed those Hi-5's up from time to time. Seems a bit silly to have an OD channel on a 5 watt amp though, doesn't it?

Re: NAD Hiwatt Hi-5 limited edition red
The OD channel sounds great, crank the gain to about 8, keep the volume at around 2-3, and i get awesome chrunch
When i crank the volume on the od channel, it sounds kinda meh though...
I really like this amp. Im very happy with it. My traditional Jag sounds fantastic through it.

Re: NAD Hiwatt Hi-5 limited edition red
cool! what were the original tubes? tbh I don't care that much for old tubes these days as they are really old now haha. The quality of new tubes is very spotty. I've opened up brand new boxes and have found white fog at the top ![Glare :-/](./images/smilies/glare.gif)

Re: NAD Hiwatt Hi-5 limited edition red
Came with JJ's.
I'd like to get a nice Hiwatt cab for it...but money is tight unfortunately..![Cry :'(](./images/smilies/cry.gif)
It's a cool amp, maybe I'll open it to share its innards one of these days...

I'm restoring a poor Hiwatt SE4122 cab that someone stripped, painted and replaced the grillcloth with wire mesh. Maybe this should go in the "what did you do to me?" thread.

That poor thing. Has lots of potential though.
