Features of the Kustom Tube 12

1)Input Jack - A 1/4-inch, 2-conductor input for plugging in your instrument. It’s intended for guitar but will work with other instruments as well.

2)Gain - Adjust this clockwise to increase the amount of distortion generated. Lower levels provide a blues-type tone, with higher levels delivering increased crunch - perfect for heavier music.

3)Gain On - This switch activates the distortion circuit.

4)Low - Controls the emphasis of bass frequencies. Turn counter-clockwise to decrease lows.

5)Shift - When activated, this control shifts the frequencies to emphasize midrange content. The result is a fuller, fatter sound.

6)High - Controls the emphasis of treble frequencies. Turn counter-clockwise to decrease highs.

7)Volume - Controls the overall level of the amplifier.

8)Headphone - A 1/4-inch input for headphones. Level is determined by the setting of the VOLUME control. Automatically disconnects speaker for silent practicing.

9)Jewel Light - Indicates whether the amp is OFF or ON.

10)Power - This switch turns the amp ON or OFF.

11)Speaker Output - This jack is for use with an external speaker cabinet. Minimum requirements: 8-16 Ohms, 12-Watts RMS or more.

NOTE:

#1. The internal speaker is disconnected when the external speaker jack is used.

#2. Using a speaker below the recommended 8-16 Ohms will damage the circuitry of your amplifier.

12) Line Output - This jack will deliver a line level output (Approximately 1 VRMS Maximum @ 1K ohm).
