Looking for a compact amp with real tube character? The Kustom "The Contender" is a hidden gem of a practice/studio amp. It utilizes a hybrid design, combining a 12AX7 tube preamp with a solid-state power section to deliver warm, responsive tube grit at volumes that won't get you evicted.

Condition & Service History
  • Functional Condition: Excellent. This amp was recently professionally serviced to ensure all components, pots, and connections are clean and working perfectly. It's plug-and-play ready.

  • Cosmetic Condition: Very Good. It shows normal signs of use, including a few minor cosmetic dings in the Tolex. These are purely aesthetic and do not affect the structure or performance of the amplifier.

Key Features
  • 18 Watts of Power: Perfect for home practice, recording, or low-volume jam sessions.

  • 12AX7 Tube Preamp: Provides authentic tube warmth, compression, and dynamic response.

  • 8" Eminence Speaker: Custom-voiced speaker that punches well above its weight class.

  • Master Volume & Gain Controls: Dial in everything from clean chime to rich, creamy overdrive at lower volumes.

  • Bright Switch: Adds high-end clarity and bite, perfect for dark humbuckers or cutting through a mix.

  • Compact & Portable: Easy to move from the bedroom to the studio.

Includes power cable. Shipped securely and packed with care.
