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.

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.

 - Indicates whether the amp is OFF or ON.

10)
