The little brother to the DR103 – the DR504 is a design classic! It has the same controls and features as the DR103, except it uses 2 x EL34 in the power stage, providing a more than generous 50 watts RMS. It is lovingly hand built to the highest possible standards.
Legendary Hi-Headroom, crystal-clean tonal character, instantaneous response, sonic depth and detail have made this original Dave Reeve’s circuit a recording and performance giant for more than 60 years. With half the power tubes of it’s big brother (the DR103), the DR504 offers the iconic Hiwatt tone while allowing to play on the edge of breakup at recording volume.
The classic British sound trusted by musicians and engineers for generations.
Faithfully hand-wired according to Dave Reeve’s original late 60’s circuit design.
