Kustom '36 Coupe

 36 Watt all TUBE Guitar amp

 MADE in USA!

One of the perks of working in a vintage guitar shop is the fact that you are able to check out all kinds of gear that you might of in the past turned your nose up to. Before I started this business (about 5 years ago) all I was playing was Marshall amps and Fender guitars. I had blinders on. I was an A typical guitarist that was more into the brand rather the tone... 

I took this '36 Kustom Coupe in on trade when I first opened.  It literally blew me away! I never thought so much sound & tone would ever come from a combo amp! (and from Kustom?) The "Lead" channel was full of warmth and creamy over drive. There is a pull bright switch on the volume & a master volume. The "Rhythm" channel is your clean channel and is surprisingly crisp and clean. There is a standard EQ Bass, Middle & Treble that works quite well. One of the coolest things about this amp is the the reverb has a tone on it! There is a direct out (low z) with a direct volume as well. The D.I. is speaker simulated and sounds awesome! There is a effects loop as well.

The feature that I used the most when I was gigging with this amp was the boost. It has an adjustable boost that is footwsitch activated so you can crank up the volume for leads on the fly!

*This amp was my personal gigging amp for the last 4 years. The tubes were recently replaced and all tubes were upgraded to JJ's. I have recently purchased a Paul Read Smith combo so I not longer need this one. I have 2 and I am selling them both (PRS amps are expensive)

This amp will amaze you... Read the reviews on line. 

From the web:

A fine ride.

The Kustom '36 Coupe combo amp uses a dual 6L6 power tube platform with a 12AX7 preamp section and is rated at 36 watts RMS. With Master Volume controls on both the Rhythm and Lead channels, it's easy to dial in the perfect amount of gain. From warm, chunky rhythm tones to high-voltage, high-sustain rock, it's all there.

Each channel also provides a Pull-Bright function that, when activated, modifies the low-end response for a chunkier, British-type tone. When not pulled, the tonal response is fuller and rounder, a more American-type tone. By the way, the EQ (Bass, Middle, Treble) reflects pure, vintage Kustom specifications.

Drawing on its heritage, Kustom teamed up with U.S. speaker manufacturer Eminence to produce a new driver exclusively for the Coupe Series. The result is the KEI (Kustom-Eminence Integrated) Turbo 12 speaker. With its distinctive aluminum dust cap, the Turbo 12 is a modern interpretation of a vintage speaker design that gives players a taste of the original speaker's tonal properties, which were great for cleaner tones, while successfully handling more modern, high-gain sounds as well.

The '36 Coupe provides an Accutronics Reverb unit with Tone control (another vintage Kustom feature). You'll also find a Tube-Driven Effects Loop, a Baltic Birch cabinet, a speaker-emulated Line Out and a 3-function footswitch that switches channels, turns the effects on or off, and also activates a 10db overall volume boost for solos.

From sparkling clean to stinging blues and roaring rock, the '36 Coupe does it all. Offering boutique amp tones at production amp prices, you owe it to yourself to test drive a Coupe.
