Historical context and positioning in the range
The Super Leeds is part of a very "British rock" lineage, with a name that evokes a legendary 70s rock live album and the sound demands associated with that era: volume, authority, but also definition that remains clear when the band plays loud. Presented as the big brother of the Leeds 50, it takes the concept further: larger format, higher power, and an architecture designed to hold the stage without collapsing, whether you are in intense rehearsal, in the studio with an energetic drummer, or on a large stage in concert.Who this amp is for
The Super Leeds 150 targets the guitarist looking for a powerful combo capable of delivering wide and solid clean sounds as well as tight overdriven tones with a pick. It suits both intermediate and advanced players, especially those who want a "plug and play" amp but with real adjustment possibilities thanks to the two separate EQs. In context, it is particularly comfortable in rehearsal and on stage (where the headroom reserve and 12-inch projection make the difference), while remaining relevant in studio if you want to capture a straightforward, dynamic, and responsive amp sound. Style-wise, it naturally fits rock, hard rock, punk, blues rock, and all aesthetics that require a clean tone that handles pedals well and a distortion capable of cutting through a dense mix.Technical specifications

Questions frequently asked
What power does the Hiwatt Super Leeds 150W 1x12 deliver?
The transistor amplification delivers 150 W through a 12-inch Octapulse speaker. This power reserve is suitable for intense rehearsals and live performances.
Does the saturated channel provide crunch and heavy distortion?
The Overdrive channel includes two stages, Gain 1 and Gain 2, as well as a Contour control linked to Gain 2. These settings allow transitioning from a tight crunch to more advanced saturation, with dedicated Treble, Middle, and Bass EQ.
Can effects pedals be connected to this amp?
A Send/Return effects loop via jack allows inserting external effects, notably delay, modulation, or reverb. The built-in spring reverb also has its own Reverb Volume control.
What connections are available for headphones, DI, and external cabinet?
Connectivity includes a headphone output, a DI output on a 6.35 mm jack, and two parallel outputs for external cabinets on 6.35 mm jacks, rated at 4 Ω. There is also an auxiliary input on a 3.5 mm mini-jack.
Is a footswitch included with the Super Leeds 150?
No footswitch is included. However, a 6.35 mm jack footswitch input allows controlling distortion and reverb with a compatible switch.
