1.AC POWER CORD RECEPTACLE: Insert the AC cord (provided) firmly into the AC connector. NOTE: Replace the AC power cord if protective jacket is damaged or ground pin is damaged or removed. The fuse is located in a housing just below the receptacle. Replace only with same type and size. To remove the fuse, remove AC power cord and pull out on the tab above the fuse symbol located on the fuse carriage. Place the new fuse in the carriage clip and re-insert.

NOTE: To prevent an electrical hazard, DO NOT replace fuse without using the fuse carriage. Replace the fuse carriage if lost or damaged before re-inserting the AC power cord.

2.FUSE: The fuse is located in a fuse tray just below the receptacle. Replace only with the same type and size. For your convenience, a spare fuse is located inside the fuse tray toward the front. To replace fuse, remove AC power cord.

Remove fuse tray by pulling the tab located above the fuse symbol away from the receptacle.

3:SPEAKER OUTPUTS: These 1/4” jacks are provided to connect the internal and/or external speakers to the V15.

THE AMPLIFIER SHOULD NEVER BE OPERATED WITHOUT A SPEAKER PLUGGED INTO A SPEAKER JACK.

4.DIRECT OUT: The XLR Direct Out jack is designed to connect the amplifier to a recording or live mixer. The output is speaker- emulated, and mimics the sound of the Celestion loudspeaker. This output is very useful for direct recording, and especially helpful for live applications since it eliminates a live microphone on stage and the resulting feedback potential.

5.GROUND LIFT: The Ground Lift switch disconnects pin 1 of the XLR Direct Out jack to eliminate a “ground loop” hum. A ground loop can exist when the amp 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 disconnect the ground connection from the chassis.

15H, V15 specifications

Kustom V15 and V15H are dynamic guitar amplifiers designed to cater to the needs of guitarists seeking versatile performance and rich tones. These amps are celebrated for their powerful sound and user-friendly interface, making them suitable for both practice sessions and live performances.

One of the standout features of the Kustom V15 and V15H is their all-tube amplification design. This technology delivers warm, rich tones that are highly sought after by musicians. The all-tube circuit provides natural compression and harmonic richness, which enhances the overall sound quality and dynamics of the guitar.

The V15 model boasts a 15-watt output, perfect for small venues or personal practice. It is equipped with a single 12-inch speaker that ensures a wide sound dispersion and a well-balanced tonal response. The amp features a two-channel design – clean and overdrive – allowing guitarists to switch between sparkling clean tones and gritty, distorted sounds effortlessly. This versatility makes the V15 an excellent choice for different music styles, from blues to rock.

On the other hand, the V15H head version offers the same tonal capabilities but without a built-in speaker, making it ideal for players who prefer to pair their amplifier head with different cabinets for customized sound options. This flexibility is particularly appealing to touring musicians who might need to adjust their sound for various venues and setups.

Both models include a built-in spring reverb, adding depth and space to the sound, which is critical for creating lush, immersive tones. The controls are straightforward and intuitive, featuring volume, tone, and gain knobs that allow users to dial in the perfect sound quickly.

Moreover, the Kustom V15 and V15H are equipped with an external speaker output, enabling guitarists to connect various speaker cabinets, facilitating sound customization. The rugged construction of the amplifiers ensures durability and longevity, a key consideration for musicians on the road.

In conclusion, the Kustom V15 and V15H embody the essence of what guitarists seek in an amplifier: versatile tonal options, all-tube warmth, and robust construction. They are perfect for players at any level, from beginners to seasoned professionals, delivering sound quality that stands out in any musical setting.
