Kustom 36 Couple

September 21, 2006
What has 36 watts, all tube tone, and a nicer upholstery than your car? Kustom's 36 Coupe combo guitar amp. Take this Coupe for a spin around the block and enjoy the dual master channel, all-tube goodness and tight response of the single 12" speaker. It's got the range from bluesy dirt to soaring clean tone to super heavy grunt, an extended footswitch control for volume boost and an innovative tone control for the reverb. Sweet ride.

KUSTOM REPRESENTATIVE: Okay. One of the most important features on the Coupe amps is this dual master volume system. So, on the clean channel, you're not stuck with just a clean clean.

But you can also turn the gain up and the volume down a little.

So you get.

So you have a clean channel that when you bang on it a little bit, it breaks up.

And then when you go to the lead channel, you also -- you can get...

...a kind of an in-between sound.

But you can also crank the gain up.

So there, we get pretty heavy. A couple of neat features, the footswitch has a boost. There's a volume boost knob on the back of the amp and you can set to give you...

...a boost for solo and it works on both channels.

And then the reverb on here is a traditional custom reverb that has its own control on it. So...,

[KUSTOM REPRESENTATIVE PLAYING GUITAR THROUGH THE KUSTOM 36 COUPE AMP WITH REVERB ENGAGED]

...you can go from a bright reverb...

...to a more dull-sounding reverb which is particularly nice when you want it to sound a little more subtle...

[KUSTOM REPRESENTATIVE PLAYING GUITAR THROUGH THE KUSTOM 36 COUPE AMP WITH REVERB ENGAGED]

...as opposed to...

[KUSTOM REPRESENTATIVE PLAYING GUITAR THROUGH THE KUSTOM 36 COUPE AMP WITH REVERB ENGAGED]

...where it's kind of more bright and in your face. Okay? And then the last really neat feature that's kind of a hidden feature on this amp is the direct out. There's a speaker emulated system so you can plug the amp directly into the PA or record from it directly without having to use a mic.

So.

I need awesome gear... I'd like a free gear catalog!
My opinion is awesome. I'd like to take a gear survey
