1)IMPEDANCE SELECTOR This switch is used to select the appropri- ate impedance and is important in achieving the desired results from the Double Cross. The correct impedance should be selected using the Impedance Selector switch as in the following impedance settings chart. Note: Incorrectly “mismatching” the amp head to a speaker cabinet should not damage the amplifier, but would result in lower output power and could result in shorter output tube life. Also, the Double Cross should never be operated without a speaker plugged into a speaker jack, even when using the Direct Out.

2)SPEAKER OUTPUTS These paralleled 1/4-inch jacks are pro- vided to connect the Double Cross head to external speaker cabinets.

3)GROUND LIFT This switch is used to eliminate a “ground loop” hum when using the Direct Out. A ground loop can ex- ist when the Double Cross and the mixer it is plugged into are connected to grounded outlets that are in physically different locations and/or on different circuits, and should only be used if there is an audible hum. Pressing the ground lift does not dis- connect the ground connection from the amp’s chassis.

4)DIRECT OUT The XLR Direct Out is designed to connect the Double Cross to a recording or live mixer. The output is speaker- emulated to generate the tone of a Celestion Vintage 30-loaded

Straight-front or Slant-front 4x12 speaker cabinet. Either tonal- ity may be activated using the DI Cabinet Select switch. Make sure that a speaker is connected to the amp even when using the Direct Out.

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 10dBV 0.3v Pedal Effects Optimal 0 dBV 1v Rack Effects OptimalEffects Loop Syncing Effects Loop Amp SpecificationsNominal Signal to Noise System GainSignal Flow Diagram
