Im hoping to have a Custom 20 to check out within the next couple of weeks.  I hear good things about it.

I had a custom 20 2x10 combo for a while - the EL84s make it sound too boxy in the midrange and it wasn't quite loud enough to gig with.

For classic Hiwatt tone get one of the 50w DR-series heads.  I personally like the later 2-input versions as they have a bit more gain than the 4-inputters.

my uncle has an original custom 50.  It sucks. Boxy is a good word. Fizzy yess.  Lots of trebel, but not chimy.  NO BASS.  Lots of high mids to my ear.  Not sure about the new ones.
