Hiwatt Leeds 50R 2-Channel Combo, Spring Reverb

The Hiwatt Leeds 50R 2-Channel Combo, Spring Reverb (LEEDS50RC-U) delivers authentic British clarity, massive clean headroom, and responsive stage projection in a 50-watt 1x12" guitar combo amplifier.

At its core is Hiwatt’s carefully voiced analog MOSFET preamp paired with a high-output power section, engineered to capture the chewy warmth, dynamic touch sensitivity, and natural harmonic richness of a classic tube amplifier with rock-solid solid-state reliability.

Built for effortless tonal versatility on stage and in the studio, the Leeds 50R features two independent channels (Clean and Overdrive), each equipped with its own dedicated 3-band EQ (Treble, Middle, Bass). Use the Clean channel as a crystal-clear, pedal-friendly foundation with extended low-end punch, then engage the Overdrive channel- complete with a dedicated Flavor toggle, Gain, and Volume controls—to transition from warm blues crunch to saturated British rock lead tones.

Housed in a road-ready birch ply enclosure for superior acoustic stability, the Leeds 50R projects through a custom-voiced 12" Hiwatt Octapulse speaker designed for tight bass response and articulate highs. Lush onboard real spring reverb adds three-dimensional vintage ambience, while a built-in effects loop (Send/Return) lets you integrate time-based and modulation pedals cleanly.

Complete with a 1/4" direct output, an external speaker output for pairing with extension cabinets, a 3.5mm AUX input, a 3.5mm headphone output for silent practice, footswitch compatibility, and switchable worldwide operating voltage, the Hiwatt Leeds 50R is ready for rehearsals, recording sessions, and international touring.
