Have the current version 2008 that has a look dlicieux, and always the 12AX7 tube and 8 inch celestion hp. Amp trs compact, complete for line out, speaker out and headphones.
No effects loop, no big deal saw the line out.
Active equalization, so effective, two bands and volume. Switch shape for rendering frquences diffrent trs, always helpful.
C0t disto it engages with the switch and it RULES boost the rate with the drive. In gnral is not too clean balance with the volume but good.
Trs well built, even no need to disassemble for changing the tube.

UTILIZATION

The tube remains in the Submitted signal, so its clear to IDAL Global Warming a multi-effects for example.
Beware, there is a permanent background noise, the non-filtered aware that supplies 6.3 volts the tube filaments. No day but Gnant sional hello nerves.
I changed the tube to a mesa boogie and the sound is much diffrent, the original tube is trs raplapla all gray.
The line out can be very useful to put effects (effects-line-active columns pc logitech x140 poses on the amp), and only trs little noise it.

SOUNDS

Warm and round, not much treble, no problemo nice sound. Many serious disposition, trs useful given the small hp. This is also HP celestion trs fair, I replaced by a Vox DA15 lying by the amp and trs has become much better, more alive.
The saturation of kustom I do not like at all, like the fender twin cam yuck. No DEFINITIONS, drooling like a great-great grandfather, the shape helps to clean but good step for me.

On an external box that will make you fall kustom mini c. .. , Warm and dynamic, trs pretty. And not too strong, but already well beyond the life of collectivism. I found my set-up as follows: Kustom on small (ex-roland cube 60) Box 112 (eminence gb12)-artec analog delay is dl-boss GP20 crunch and lead. It is simply not credible given the modesty of all, the sound is excellent. And I have to compare the pretty mess, but hey it's all about chemistry components of the final and good luck eh.

OVERALL OPINION

The price Sidre me completely, the sound too. Engin useful as warm and clear sound tough in the bass, with a simple korg AX3G front is pretty amazing to have fun and work. All for 130 euros which, unthinkable not long ago.
In short I can only recommend the contraption.
One more word on the line out, it is not cut when a branch is therefore Earphone amplifier can be used in simple prampli tube and the background noise is then virtually absent. I have good rsultats with a delay and logitech x140 behringer DD100, trs cool the stro you do dcolle more ...
So what you just table? -M 'slap in the kustom lche not me!
