Kustom none manual Lead I Channel Settings, Thick Modern Cranked Vintage Heavy Dynamic

6)THE CROSS The Cross offers these functions: (1) Bright:This enhances high-end response and tightens the low end. (2) Gain: This 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 additional 12AX7 stage that generates rich, aggressive tonal qualities with complex har- monics. Each switch may be ac-

tivated by sliding it towards the center of the Cross. (For more in- formation, see the “Cross” section of this manual.)

7)VOLUME The Volume control sets the overall level of the Lead I channel and can be used to bal- ance the volume between it and the other channels.

8)GAIN The Gain control adjusts the gain at the input of the am- plifier and is used in conjunction with the Volume control to adjust the amount of distortion and vol- ume for this channel. For cleaner sounds, the Gain control should be set in its lower range and the Vol- ume set higher. To increase distor- tion, set the Gain higher and the

Volume lower.
