Hiwatt CP-504 Pete Townshend Signature Amp Head
A 50-watt version of the amp designed to the same
specifications as the amp used extensively by Pete Townshend of THE WHO. Based
on the Custom 50, the CP-504 features more gain and a more responsive Bass and
Treble control network. Uses 4 independent pre-amp channels (with 4 x ECC-83
tubes), 4 individual Volume Controls and a Master Volume. Power stage uses 2 x
EL-34 tubes. Equipped with Partridge transformers, and has switchable 4, 8 & 16
ohms output impedance.
A look inside the amplifier will reveal point- to-point hand wiring, turret tag
boards (no printed circuits), and hand laced wiring harnesses. The power and
output transformers are manufactured by Partridge, the original 1970's supplier
to the original design sheets. The components and wires are the modern available
equivalents of the vintage components, 1-watt carbon resistors, and wound
polyester capacitors being used throughout.
