Simms-Watts was a British amplifier company that produced high-powered tube amplifiers during the late 1960s and early 1970s, competing with Marshall and Hiwatt in the professional musician market. The PA100 was a 100-watt all-tube head offering substantial power for large venue use with EL34 output tubes characteristic of British designs. Simms-Watts amps are now rare and collected by enthusiasts of obscure British vintage amplification.
