QUAD100HD Guitar Amplifier Head
QUAD Series guitar amplifier heads combine outrageous tone and performance with a truly impressive stage presence. Providing 100 watts of output power, the QUAD 100DFX Head offers real world flexibility through its two-channel design with four preamp modes. The Rhythm channel has two preamp choices (FAT/LEAN), each offering a different sonic spin: one being tight and sparkling; the other, greasy and fat with more attitude. The Lead channel also has two preamp choices: GRIND and PUNCH. Grind offers modern, high-gain American tone. Punch provides tighter low-end response and an upper midrange emphasis with a distinctly British flavor. ItÆs like having the best of both worlds in one amp! The QUAD 200DFX Head is voiced specially for massive, modern low-end response in the Lead channel. It offers the same twochannel design with four preamp modes, just like the QUAD 100DFX Head.

The padded Tuck n' Roll panels of each Anniversary Coupe are crafted using the original Uniroyal® Naugahide material but with a bold racing stripe added and a special "1966 – 2006" embroidered logo stitched directly onto the colored panel. Otherwise, each model is identical to the standard '36 Coupe and '72 Coupe designs, which are now being endorsed by professional players such as Tracii Guns, Roy Z, Rich Eckhardt (Toby Keith), Van Zant, Jeff Bates, and more. Anniversary Coupes will be shipped with a matching cover that also features the Kustom 40th Anniversary logo.
The '66 DART is based on Kustom's best-selling DART10FX, but now dressed up in either Red, Blue, Silver or Black Tuck n' Roll. Each unit boasts a vintage Kustom logo, carrying handle, control knobs and grille cloth. The '66 DART is a two-channel amplifier with Analog Reverb and Delay effects and a plywood baffle, which enhances the resonance and overall tonality of any guitar amplifier. Although it's a small amp, the '66 DART offers full 3-Band EQ, a speaker output to drive an external cabinet, Line Out and Headphone jacks as well as a CD/Tape input. The '66 DART amplifiers will be offered for a limited time only.
Looking back to the company's early days, Kustom began to manufacture significant numbers of amplifiers from its original Chanute, Kansas, facility in 1966. The products, which sounded as colorful as they looked, captured the imaginations of thousands of musicians across the country. Almost every band in the country owned at least one Kustom product, whether it was a guitar or bass amp, a P.A. system, or even a Tuck n' Roll-covered Kustom Combo organ. Likewise, professionals picked up on the products, which were seen regularly with artists as diverse as John Fogerty, Herbie Hancock, The Jackson 5 and The MC5.
Hanser Music Group, then Hanser Holdings International (HHI), acquired the Kustom brand in 1989. In the years since, Kustom has re-established itself in the industry, selling its amplifier and P.A. lines in dozens of countries around the world and across the United States. With critically acclaimed products such as the Profile® One and Two P.A. systems, the high-powered Groove Bass® amps, the all-tube Coupe® Series models and Sienna™ acoustic amps, Kustom celebrates its 40th Anniversary with great memories of the past, but also a keen eye to the future.
"Kustom's 40th Anniversary is a real milestone," said Bob Imhoff, General Manager. "Kustom has a rich history of building innovative, colorful products that appeal to a wide range of users. We plan to grow our brand by further expanding Kustom product lines and capitalizing on our core strengths."

The HV-30™ utilizes an exclusive new preamp circuit that combines a 12AX7 vacuum tube known for its robust tonal qualities with solid-state circuitry that provides consistency and reliability. To maximize the tube's distinctive audio characteristics and dynamic range, the exclusive Kustom HV preamp circuit operates at high voltages. The resulting tone is rich, dynamic and loaded with harmonic content.
The HV-30 features 30 watts (RMS) of output power combined with a 12-inch Celestion™ guitar speaker. It provides two channels, each with Gain and Master Volume controls. This Dual Master system lets players easily get natural tube overdrive and compression on the Rhythm channel as well as the Lead channel. The HV Series EQ consists of passive Bass, Middle and Treble controls that are the same specifications as Kustom's award-winning, all-tube Coupe™ amplifiers. The HV Series' speaker-emulated Direct Out and variable Volume Boost controls are also borrowed from the Coupe.
The Volume Boost is a cool feature in itself, allowing players to dial in the perfect volume level for solos, and then activate this boost using the optional HV footswitch. The HV-30 footswitch is used for switching channels, activating the digital effects, and turning the boost On or Off.
An all-new 24-Bit Digital Multi-Effects System has been created exclusively for the HV Series. It offers 16 hi-fidelity, programmable effects with increased flexibility thanks to Tap or Toggle functions for each effect, letting players fine-tune their choices. For example, Delay times, Reverb tails and Tremolo speeds can all be tapped to desired settings. Alternately, the Spring Reverb effect can be toggled between three different tonal selections; the Rotary Speaker can be ramped between speeds; and the Octave selection can be toggled to choose Octave Up or Octave Down.
In all, the HV-30 provides real tube tone and feel in a versatile, performance-oriented package. Feel the high voltage. Only with the High Voltage Series from Kustom.

HV-20T Hybrid Combo 20-Watt Amp
An all-new model, the HV20 distills the HV experience down to a 20-watt format with a 10-inch Celestion™ speaker. The heart of the amp however is its 12AX7 tube preamp. To maximize the tube’s distinctive audio characteristics and dynamic range, the HV preamp circuit operates at higher voltage levels. The resulting tone is rich, dynamic and loaded with harmonic content.
The HV20 features the design aesthetics of the new HV Series, with its unique, rounded cabinet edge, new handle and control knob designs, grill cloth and piping, as well as the classic, vintage Kustom logo.
The HV20 offers a two-channel layout, each with Gain and Master Volume controls. This Dual Master system provides natural tube overdrive and compression on both channels and it’s great for dialing in both medium- and high-gain tones with ease.
And when you crank the HV Master Volume controls, Kustom’s exclusive Organic Clipping™ power amp circuit reacts like an all-tube amp, generating lower order, musical harmonics and natural clipping characteristics. It’s the classic power amp “growl” that guitarists know and love, with a smooth transition from clean to grind.
The Speaker-Emulated Direct Out circuit is borrowed from the Kustom Coupe™. It was designed to provide a rich, strong signal that cops the total Coupe combo sound coming from the amp, cabinet and speakers. This signal can be routed to mixers or recorders for live or studio use – you’ll never worry about mic’ing this amp!
The HV20 has its own unique effects section that mixes analog and digital technologies to provide an independent Reverb control as well as eight footswitchable effects, including a “Delay + Boost” setting that makes guitar solos really stand out.
The optional HV footswitch can switch between channels or activate the amp’s built-in effects.

Deep End 50 Bass Amp Combo
The Deep End® DE50 brings classic tube amp tone, touch and style to a conveniently sized 1x10 combo format. Utilizing a 12AX7 preamp in tandem with a Tube Gain control, players can drive the DE50 tube preamp to elicit natural tube overload in varying degrees. From funky clean to mean and aggressive, the Deep End tube preamp has it covered. The DE50 delivers 50 watts (RMS) through a 10-inch Deep End® speaker. And when cranked up, its exclusive Organic Clipping power amp circuit reacts like an all-tube amp, generating lower order, musical harmonics and natural clipping characteristics just like the best all-tube designs. It’s the classic power amp “growl” that bass players know and love, with a smooth transition from clean to grind.
Another benefit of Organic Clipping is that a power amp limiter is no longer needed. Many amp builders use heavy power amp limiting to prevent unpleasant distortion characteristics typically generated when solid-state circuits are pushed hard. Organic Clipping makes limiting unnecessary because when the amp is cranked up, it overloads with the same tonality as a tube amp. There is more usable volume on tap, so you can get louder while pushing the amp further into distortion.
To make life easier both on stage and in the studio, the DE50 offers a balanced Direct Out. Other conveniences include a headphone jack; an auxilliary input for playback of devices such as MP3 and CD players; and an External Speaker Jack.

**What is Room EQ?
In addition to a classic, passive tone stack consisting of Bass, Mid and Treble controls, the DE200 features an innovative new approach to solving EQ issues quickly and effectively. Called Room EQ, it consists of Low Contour and High Contour controls, each solving the most common tonal problems that bassists encounter when performing.
For example, the High Contour control can reduce ear-fatiguing treble peaks that often occur when a room or venue has hard reflections or be used to reduce treble presence or “sizzle” when required. Low Contour can be used to provide low-end definition in a large, boomy room or function as a shelving control when pronounced low-end cuts are needed.
Using both Room EQ controls, players can dial in the EQ structure that works most effectively in any given performance environment.
To make life easier both on stage and in the studio, the DE200 offers a balanced Direct Out with Speaker Emulation. This output was painstakingly engineered to actually sound like a Deep End amplifier as heard by a bass player standing directly in front of the amp, capturing the unique tonality of the amplifier/speaker combination. Your soundman will thank you.
Other DE200 conveniences include a Tuner Out, Effects Loop Send and Return jacks, and Power Amp In and Preamp Out jacks.
