HIWATT was in no way related to Marshall.  It was a much higher quality build and a very versatile series of amplifiers. 

It was built by Dave Reeves  as was Sound City and I believe Orange amplifiers.

I’ve seen a Marshal head in some videos, but never Hiwatt.  Although, wasn’t Hiwatt a spinoff from Marshal?

But Pinder used a tube amp....That's a Hiwatt on top of the tron.

The Mark II 3 Violin sounds that Pinder achieved was due to the high end roll-off the solid state amp gave him. Pinder has spoken several times about changing the amp in his tron to achieve this sound. I don't believe it was totally Tony Clark's mastery that achieved this sound as you can hear it even in the raw YouTube live clips, like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nITFMZ_M13E
