Hiwatt Custom 200 DR201 - Normal preset

Verified · 86/100 confidence. Complete schematic. All component values readable. Parameters derived directly from the circuit.

The DR201 Custom 200 is the Hiwatt Custom layout scaled to 200 watts. Normal and Brilliant channels, each with high and low inputs, an ECC83 stage and its own volume, feed the shared treble, middle and bass stack, then a master volume and an ECC83 long-tailed pair with presence and feedback. Six EL34s drive a Partridge output transformer from a silicon bridge supply, giving huge clean headroom, mostly for bass and big stages.

Schematic-derived preset files for 16 Fractal and Line 6 modelers: Axe-Fx II/XL/XL+, Axe-Fx III, FM3, FM9, and the full Helix family (Floor, LT, Rack, HX Stomp, HX Stomp XL, Native).

Gridleak extracts amp parameters from original circuit schematics using AI vision — component values, gain staging, tone stack topology, tube types — then generates native preset files for every supported modeler. Every extraction is scored 0–100 and the score is published.
