The Menatone Menawatt V3 is a Hiwatt-inspired preamp/overdrive based on classic British DR-style amplifier topology. It is not a clone; it is built specifically to capture that circuit's Brilliant behavior and response.Tonal lane: Preamp / OverdriveThe V3 version adds expanded control over the gain structure and top end, including:• Separate Brilliant and Normal gain channels that can be blended• Power Gain control for additional drive shaping• Presence control for high-end response• Full Hiwatt-style 3-band EQIt delivers:• Tight, controlled low end• Dry, forward upper mids• High headroom with gradual breakup• Strong note separation under gainCompared to Fender-style drives, it is drier and more mid-focused. Compared to Marshall-style circuits, it is cleaner, tighter, and less compressed, with a more rigid low end and minimal sag.This functions as:• An amp-like foundation tone• An edge-of-breakup platform• A preamp solution for direct or cab-sim rigsMost importantly, this pedal is built specifically to replicate Hiwatt-style authority, punch, and clarity in a pedal format.The only reason I am selling is that I bought a real Hiwatt amp. This AIAB served its role well and does so convincingly.Includes• Pedal only (no box)Condition Note• Photos of all sides of the pedal have been uploaded so you can review condition in full detail before purchase.Shipping & Handling• Free U.S. shipping • Ships within 3 business days of purchase
