Hiwatt Leeds 25R Practice Head, Reverb

The Hiwatt Leeds 25R Practice Head, Reverb is a 25-watt solid-state guitar amplifier head built for players who refuse to compromise on tone at lower volumes.  Whether you are practising in the bedroom, warming up in the greenroom, tracking in a home studio, or driving a speaker cabinet at an intimate venue, the Leeds 25R packs iconic Hiwatt response into a lightweight 8.6 lb (3.9 kg) chassis.

At the heart of the Leeds 25R is Hiwatt’s renowned high-headroom Clean channel, purpose-built to act as an expressive, pedal-friendly platform that lets every nuance of your guitar and effects pedals shine through without premature breakup.

At the push of a button (or via an optional footswitch), switch into the Overdrive channel to dial in everything from warm, bluesy edge-of-breakup grit to saturated British rock crunch. Dedicated Overdrive Gain, Contour, and Volume controls let you sculpt your midrange voicing from scooped modern bite to thick vintage punch, while a shared 3-band EQ (Treble, Middle, Bass) makes fine-tuning your overall tone effortless across any cabinet.

Unlike bare-bones practice heads, the Hiwatt Leeds 25R comes equipped with studio- and stage-ready connectivity.  Lush onboard real spring reverb adds authentic, three-dimensional depth to both channels, while a built-in effects loop (Send/Return) allows you to place delay, modulation, and time-based pedals cleanly after the preamp.

Plug in your phone or audio player through the 3.5mm AUX input to jam along with backing tracks, connect headphones to the 3.5mm headphone output for silent late-night sessions, or pair the 4–8 ohm speaker output (also safe at 16 ohms) with your favourite 1x12", 2x12", or 4x12" guitar cabinet.
