I have one of these amps without the footswitch. So, if understand this correctly, the effects, reverb and tremolo in channel one and boost and clipper in the second channel, need the foot switch in order to be activated.

Normally there are two small pc boards mounted on the back panel near the foot switch jack. Anyway I finally can hear all effects. You must log in or register to reply here, kustom k200a-4.

While solid-state amplifiers traditionally earned a reputation as being of lesser sonic quality than their tube-powered bretheren something that the advent of high-end digital modelling has put to bed for the most part plenty of recording artists have turned to the durability and consistency of the transistor to provide their tones, both live and on record. Perhaps the most iconic solid-state amp of all Roland Jazz Chorus JChas been used on countless albums by almost as many notable guitarists over the years, and is rightly revered and still highly sought-after today for its massive amount of headroom and pristine clean sounds. The amp has also been famously used by artists who are better known for their distorted sounds. Adam Jones from Tool also used it as a canvas for his more effect-driven tracks on the 10, Days album. Jones is something of a solid-state aficionado, also using a Sunn Beta Lead on Lateralus.

OK, I have issues with PE. I think it was called Hot Rod. It was mostly about California car guys who customized cars. I was a bit east but they also must have read that rag out in Kansas, because it all led to the development of Kustom amps and guitars. I remember seeing my first Kustom amp around Blue sparkle vinyl. Even in an era of hippies, tuck and roll vinyl was groovy. Kustom amps were the brainchild of Bud Ross and Fred Berry of Chanute, Kansas, who came up with the idea in around A friend brought a trashed Fender Bassman amp to Ross who repaired it and re-covered it with tuck and roll, and very quickly other amps started coming in for the Ross treatment.

Still, a few brands earned praise and lasting respect on the basis of either their sounds, appealing looks or both. Kustom offered those vinyl wraps in a range of colorful metallic-sparkle options, including the Charcoal Sparkle shown on this Kustom KB amp. However, several serious players of the day knew Kustom had something to offer on the inside, too. This KB was billed as a watt model, although a watt RMS rating might have been more realistic; many solid-state amps of the day were advertised using their peak power rather than RMS power. The two-channel head has one Normal channel with controls for volume, bass and treble and a bright switch, and a Bright channel with additional speed and intensity controls for its tremolo, as well as reverb. It stands on a matching ported 2x15 cab, although some were sold with mammoth 3x15 cabs. Inside the chassis is old-school solid-state construction.

Has there been any mods done to this board? How can I test this amp's effect? May 10, Pacific NW. Music Electronics Forum. Remember me. Last edited by pontiacpete ; , PM. How is the boost circuit powered? Those are the correct A series boards. Lot questions here, sorry. Log in. I used that sound on Born on the Bayou and Midnight Special. The much later Kustom and amps used resistors and 12 volt Zeners for the op amp supplies. We chat with artists globally about their favorite guitars and the stories they hold. Instead they use the letters for pin numbers.
