hey Guys...am a big gilmour fan...so thinking of buyin a heywhat 503 maybe combo...reeves are great also for that original 70 tone but lots more expensive...
I got a few questions for JTM 1979...you own a heywhat 503 right? is it a 2 channel amp? by slaving the channel you mean mixing the 2 channels with a short jack right? sorry but english is not my forte...also can you get a line out and effects loop ? does it need one or are these amps just best with pedals in front?
grazie

It sounds like JTM 1979 is talking about linking the normal and bright channel, not running a slave amp as JD0x0 explains. As JTM 1979 said, you can link the channels, but you don't have to like on a Marshall. Gilmour's signature HiWatt has one input for each channel then a separate linked input that acts like linking them with a patch cable. I just received my Hey what DR504 today and plugged it in. It sounds incredible at any volume. And I would disagree with JTM 1979 about speakers. It may sound more like the classic Gilmour sound with Fanes, but I'm running mine into a Greenback equipped 4x12 and it sounds absolutely stellar. I don't think this is an amp that requires an effects loop. It's got way more headroom than a Marshall. If you're looking for the classic rock overdriven tube amp sound get a plexi. This amp is best with a fuzz pedal in front of it.
