What happens when you take classic Hiwatt DNA and hand the keys to Mike Fortin? You get the Super Hi-50. The original Custom Shop version turned a lot of heads, and now there’s a production model. Today we’re plugging in, turning it up, and finding out if this modern high-gain monster is the real deal. Expect riffs, loud noises, and absolutely no clean jazz chords.
