      Hylight Electronics was the brainchild of British audio engineer David Reeves. He attended technical school in the late 1950s, and did apprenticeships at Marconi Electronics and Mullard. Reeves eventually started the Hylight company (the name came from an early 1960s band named "The Hylights" that a friend belonged to), and the name was registered in September 1966. The first big order for amplifiers came from Ivor Arbiter's Sound City music store—these became the original Sound City amps. These amps (the so-called "Mark I") were apparently just his current amplifier design, re-badged with the Sound City name. Many of these amps still have the "Hylight Electronics" stickers on the chassis inside. Following that Hylight Electronics went on producing the amps with the Hiwatt name after this until 1981.

      Hylight Electronics made high quality amps during the 60's, along with other well known manufactures of the period, that were largely responsible for shaping the sound of British rock during the 60's, 70's and beyond. Bands such as Pink Floyd, the Moody Blues, the Rolling Stones, and The Who have all used Hylight made amps to help create their legendary sounds. With their military-spec chassis, point-to-point wiring, and marine-grade cabinets, Hylight amps are also known for being very solidly built.

      In 2018, the next generation Hylight Electronics have teamed up to take the legacy and the best of British amplifier manufacturing into the future. Since 1964, Dave Reeves has designed the best circuits for all-purpose guitar and bass amplifiers featuring classic British tone, high headroom and reliability. Throughout the years at Hylight Electronics have listened to guitar and bass players, and now decided to take this Holy Grail to its pinnacle under its own registered HYLIGHT brand name.

      The company has now developed these designs further in order to offer modern guitar players high quality military spec hand-wired amplifiers with optional features like: DI output, effects loop, channel switching, power attenuator and even extreme gain. All amplifiers are custom made in England with high-grade components as well as unmistakably high quality English made transformers, the heart of all truly great amplifiers.

      Alongside the amp manufacturing Hylight Electronics has entered into partnership with Mr Gary Hurst, the designer of the 1965 Tone Bender, for reproductions of two classic fuzz and phazer pedals: The Fuzz Man, Octave Fuzzer and Phazer MK II. It is an honour for us at Mocha Earth Music to have this whole range of pedals handmade by Mr Gary Hurst and offering to you in Australia!
