« Kustom Tube 12 »
Published on 01/23/03 at 15:00Got this little amp on EBay, because I wanted a lower-powered tube combo and the price was only $86.
This little amp has a warm, warm sound that works well to warm up the tone of my stratocasters, especially when using a Digitech RP100 or Digitech Genesis 3 modeling amplifiers. This amp has blown away people with its tone.
It's only 12 watts and has a solid state power amp section,so there isn't a lot of headroom...but it's $85.
It's made relatively well for a cheap amp. The preamp tube is shielded well, there are protective corners and the knobs are metal and solid-feeling. The speaker is mounted OK, I needed to add some glue to the baffle.
Great buy for the money. I bought a second one and run them in stereo.
