Bob54 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Anyone play (or ever play) a Kustom tuck and roll amp. Transisitors nit tubes - what do you think. They look great but what do they sound like - thinking about this K-50 for $150, Any opinions. Thanks. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gitfiddler Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 For $150 I'd bring her home. The speaker alone could be worth $100+ if JBL or EV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yooper Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Try it. You might like it. That looks great for practice and low-level jams. I had a Kustom long ago. Wanted to sound like Credence Clearwater Revival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pressure Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I had a Kustom 200 with 2 speaker columns each loaded with 3 15" Altec Lancing speakers. It was loud and unbreakable. I don't have the amp but still have the Nauga that came with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob54 Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 NAD - Bought it. Got it for a buck and a quarter. Took it home, took it apart, re-soldered a couple of cold solder joints, major cleaning, 2 coats of Armor-all and ready to rock. Kustoms are rated at half their model number so this K50-2 is 25 watts of the LOUDEST RMS watts you'll ever hear - ears will bleed. Tone is somewhere between clean solid state and speajker distortion distortion. Low to moderate ly loud is clean, Dimed it's a garage band monster. Treble control and treble boost will drive the guitar straight though your ears; reverb is deep as an ocean. ANd looks - too cool for school - I want more. Wifey is not impressed. Overall opinion, everyone should have at least one. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalismanRich Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I loved the old Kustom tuck and rolls. In the late 60s our band had a Kustom 100 PA system. I wanted one of the silver or white metal flake amps but never bought one. My bad!!! Now crank that sucker up and play some CCR!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pressure Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Was the speaker an Altec Lansing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
