This is a HiWatt Bulldog 10, it was made around 1999. i paid $99 for the thing, and it's not too bad. It has high, low, overdrive, and volume controls, it's a basic practice amp.

I play a Yamaha sonthingorother on it, it's an SSH so it sounds ok. the amp it's self sounds fine and the distortion's pretty good, it's louder than any 6" amp i ever heard. I'd say it's a sound for rock, not really metal. it needs efects to sound like anything special.

This is the smallest of the new Hiwatt solid state combos being distributed by Fernandes/Music Ground. I have been using it with a Gibson All American SG and a Fender Mexi Tele. My hope was to get a few basic Who tones out of it, and within its limitations it suceededs. The clean channel is quite punchy and bright and stays clean up to 7-8, with the tone controlls being quite active. The O/D channel adds a bit of growl and darkens the sound slightly,however using the o/d with the sg is more than the speaker can take. not to noisy unless cranked. Not a metal moster (try a Masrhall MG10 for that) but a reasonalble representaion of the HIwatt sound in a small practice/recording package.

Not real well made. I wouldn't bang this one arount too much. Partical board cab is a bit thin and the chassis is kinda flimsy. But should be OK with a little care.

Fernandea has a nice web site, The amp has the most useless manual I've ever seen. never called them.

OK little amp, not up to the standards of my Vox Pathfinder or Marshall MG10 but captures the Hiwatt sound for a decent price. has a cool vibe and is one of the better amps at its price point. a better manual would be nice as would a little better construction. I'd get it again, simply because it sounds unique.
