Kustom Arrow 16

16W transistor amp with a celestion speaker.
Both channels, one clean and one overdrive. To switch from one to another, one button turns the distortion.
For settings, bass, middle, treble, three even for 2 channels.
Of effects such as reverb delay chorus and mix them with knob to adjust the intensity, and a button to turn off.
A CD input, a headphone output, and an external speaker output (to add a good big speaker)

UTILIZATION

Configuration is very simple!
Desired sound (or at least what it should look like) and quickly found.
Can we play for an afternoon on it, not need the manual.

SOUNDS

The clean sound is very good, with the effect very well, no problem.
For cons, the distortion is really a small, unplayable for whatever that's his concern!
A pedal does not help.
I play a little bit of everything, especially blues and metal with electric. It does not suit me at all, I quickly Paser a marshall 30 dfx, which in a much better disto.

OVERALL OPINION

It was my first amp, and if I had known, I immediately took a marshall, now I have, and I do not do anything with it because it does not sell (although it is not bad, apart from distortion)
The value for money is ridiculous, even insulting, for less I got my marshall, more powerful and much better.

Amp transistors

- What are the rglages, effects ...?
Clear button / Overdrive. 3-band EQ. Reverb. Gain. Volume.

Sky is clear this amp a great power despite these ("only") 16 Watts. Not often played back ...
The sounds are warm and round on the OD and go until the very heavy distortion. The clean channel is pretty nice. We can try to rock and metal without blushing. The sound of a slightly crunchy blues is part of its possibilities.
Adept Southern rock, this amp works wonders.

It was on the advice of my guitar shop salesman that I tested and implemented. While as much as I swore by Marshall, Kustom is a lesser known brand but great quality.
If I had to find a weak point, I would say the clean sound. But we must say that if this sonority specific on that one seeks, the trend is rather towards a Fender amp ....

I would do this choice today??
Yes, without any hsitation in the context of the acquisition of a first amplifier and / or acquisition of a portable amp aisment.

UTILIZATION

- The configuration is simple?
- Do you get easily a good sound?
- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...

Configuration could not be more simple. Rotate the knobs and it sends the sauce ...
We always find the required volume, especially on the OD or distortion.
Manual?? Hihi ... ever read!

SOUNDS

- With what (s) guitar (s) / low (s) or effect (s) do you play?
- What kind of sound you get and with what rglages ("crystalline", "fat ",....)?
- What are the sounds you prfrez that hates you?

It is ideally suited my style of music (southern rock or 70's). I play on a Les Paul guitar Indie and really stands out very well with this combo.
His favorite fields is essentially the OD and distortion even though the clean channel is broadly acceptable.
