Hiwatt DG103 Signature Series 'Dave Gilmour - Pink Floyd'

David Gilmour’s earliest amp setup with Pink Floyd consisted of a Selmer 50-watt head with a 4x12 speaker cabinet. By 1970, he found his signature sound with a stack made of Hiwatt 100-watt heads with WEM 4x12 cabinets. The Hiwatt/WEM combination can be heard conspicuously on Meddle and Dark Side of the Moon. In the studio, he sometimes added a combo amp with two 12-inch speakers to his lineup for certain parts, as on Dark Side of the Moon.

The DG103 uses the same spec as the one used by Pink Floyd's Dave Gilmour. It is based on the Hiwatt Custom 100 Head but with special mods as commissioned by Dave himself. There are normal brill inputs and a specially linked input where the gain of each channel can be altered to suit. This is in addition to Bass, Treble, Presence and Master volume controls, 4 x EL34s, 4 x Ecc83s, Partridge high grade transformers, a switchable 4, 8 and 16 ohm output impedance and100 watts output.
