The 12 watt kustom tubes don't seem to sound as good as the regular 10 watters. I got mine for 50 dollars new. And I think it sounds pretty good. Check it out v=6feQruxIyC8&feature=youtu.be
@timsrednavnaj the fact that i played some minor chords at the beginning doesn't mean that the guitar is out of tune,learn to listen...and this amp sounds good enough for 70euro
I have this amp so I can play at work. The first thing to do is replace the cheap Chinese tube with a JJ preamp tube. That will remove the harshness and smooth out your tone. Second, don't use the amp distortion. Use a pedal. I use my Korg Toneworks 1500ag multi pedal. It sounds heavenly through the clean channel. Third, connect the amp to a 1x12 cab. Not only does it sound big, but the headroom increases too. Overall, not a bad little amp.
I tried this amp for a week. didn't understand any of it: harsh sounding mid-high with absolutely no top-ends at all. The distortion is only useful for small kids punk-rock.
@sharrer2 The three main types of amps are All-Tube, Hybrid, and Solid State. There are varieties of each as well, but the difference is that an all-tube amp uses only tubes to amplify a signal. Meaning it uses tubes in the preamp and power sections. These are more expensive. Most have between 3 and 8 tubes total.
The Hybrid amps usually have a single tube in the preamp section. Like this one. They have some tube amp character but are not true tube amps.
@melonsonic Thats a bummer...because it sounds really nice on clean but the distortion channel sounds terrible! A DS-1 or something could really make this sing
What you need is a pro-axiom high reflex cable, they're very expensive. Luckily for you, I have just that for sale for just $150, way more than half the price you'd normally pay. PM me, we'll sort something out.

Please tune the guitar the next time. But then, it won't be of any use, this amp sounds bad anyway.

Hello, Does yours ever rattle?
Cause mine rattles when i crank the volume past half way
kevjones93 2 years ago
no, mine doesn't rattle even when i crank the volume all the way up...
maybe it's your guitar cable or the connector plug on the guitar that has a bad contact?or maybe it's the tube inside that has to be replaced..
good luck!

@melonsonic Hi, do you know if the Kustom 12 Tube takes foot pedals? Does it have a Footswitch jack on it?
tigetbunny82 1 year ago
@tigetbunny82 no, it doesn't, so you have to push the button for gain channel

Ugh, sorry, you need to tune before you do reviews. Not trying to be mean. But that distracts from listening to the tone.
