Sam can be quoted saying the following about his pair of Hiwatt Custom 50 Amplifiers in this Music Radar interview.

You know an air cannon? It’s like that. The amount of bass you get underneath it is ridiculous

“I’ve been using these for five years. The only problem is they’re extremely loud so we have one of them facing backwards on stage. I’ve stuck with them because they sound really, really good. You know an air cannon? It’s like that. The amount of bass you get underneath it is ridiculous.

“I’ve never had a bassier amp but with this tube amp the definition on chords and riffs is all there as well. It’s not a distorted amp at all - if anything it’s a really loud, clean amp. It’s a completely different tone to Jack’s Fender and Silvertone because they’ve got a lot more bite - whereas this has a lot more boom on it.”
