Classic British tone, built to be played.
Overview
The crown jewel of our UK designed range, the T Series have been redesigned for 2024 - now featuring wider EQ for more control, and a revoiced gain channel to increase the range of overdrive on tap. The T40 starts with our unique Hiwatt preamp, paired with a touch sensitive and reactive Overdrive channel, and pushed through a blazing quartet of EL84 tubes. With our power scaling feature you can use all 40 watts for maximum headroom and clarity or reduce output to 20 watts for more breakup and compression, and for those of you who prefer your amps as a pedal platform the T40 also has an FX loop and true spring reverb for maximum control over your sound.

Why Hiwatt?
Hiwatt amplifiers are prized for headroom: the ability to stay clean, clear, and dynamic as you turn up. That clarity is also why they are loved as a pedal platform, presenting your effects honestly instead of coloring them. Whether you chase pristine cleans or push the amp into natural breakup, this model gives you that classic British voice in a road-ready package.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Hiwatt TB40/20 Head come with a speaker cabinet?
No. This is an amplifier head, so it needs a separate speaker cabinet to make sound. Hiwatt pairs naturally with matching guitar cabinets, and the head works with any cabinet at a compatible impedance and power rating.
Is the Hiwatt TB40/20 Head a tube amp or solid-state?
It uses valve (tube) power, which is where the classic British warmth and natural breakup come from.
Is the Hiwatt TB40/20 Head a genuine Hiwatt product?
Yes. Victory Musical Instruments is a veteran-owned, authorized retailer based in Miami, FL. Every unit is brand-new and covered by the full Hiwatt manufacturer warranty.
