Tight Aggression

boosts preamp gain. (3) Tight Stage: Adds an extra 12AX7 stage that provides a chunky, vintage-style gain like a classic amp when fully cranked. (4) Thick Stage: Adds an addition- al 12AX7 stage that generates rich, aggressive tonal qualities with complex harmonics. Each stage may be activated by sliding its switch towards the center of the Cross. (For more information, see the “Cross” section of this manual.)

7)VOLUME The Volume con- trol sets the overall level of the Lead II channel and can be used to balance the volume between it and the other chan- nels.

8)GAIN The Gain control ad- justs the gain at the input of the amplifier and is used in conjunction with the Volume control to adjust the amount of distortion and volume for this channel. For cleaner sounds, the Gain control should be set in its lower range and the

Volume set higher. To increase distortion, set the Gain higher and the Volume lower.

When the switch is OUT, it emulates the same speakers in a Slant- front 412 cabinet. Kustom went to great lengths to make sure that this signal sounded like the actual amp head and speaker cabinet combinations. This was accomplished in a studio envi- ronment using condenser microphones to analyze the tonality of the Double Cross when heard at “head level” versus “close mic’d” directly in front of the speaker. The result is a signal that reflects the true characteristics of these cabinets as heard by a player. If you haven’t tried the Double Cross’ Direct Out yet, we urge you to experiment with it for both live and studio ap- plications 0 dBV 1v Rack Effects Optimal 10dBV 0.3v Pedal Effects OptimalEffects Loop Syncing Amp Specifications Nominal Signal to NoiseSystem Gain Effects LoopSignal Flow Diagram
