New Amp Day x 2 - Apparently I've become a "Kustom" Guy - Kustom '36 Coupe & Lead II
I've been looking for a tube combo amp for a while now. Really was looking at the Peavey Classics (older tweed ones that look like Fenders once you remove the Peavey Logo) and toying with ponying up the bucks for a Mesa 5:50. But, yesterday I was perusing CL and ran across a Kustom '36 Coupe for $375.00 just down the street from me. Did my due diligence in reseaching reviews (Guitar World & Vintage Guitar) as well as several forums (TDPRI being one that really liked 'em) and several retail user review sites and youtube clips and then went and tried the little beast out. Same designer (James Brown) as the Peavey Classic Series (remember I LOVED the Peavey Blues Classic) and apparently the next evolution of the design. Most definitely a rocking little beast!!!

1975 Kustom II Lead 2x12 w/Celestioin G12T 75W - Got tired of plugging into a Behringer Thunderbird 1x8" Practice Amp so I dropped $125 at MGR on a 1975 Kustom II Lead 2x12 with Celestions in it. 60W, 2 channels with a High/Low Input for each and a Bright Function, Tremolo (Speed & Depth Controls) and Reverb. Takes to pedals quite well actually, but it really has a killer clean/jazz comping chord sound to it much like a Roland JC. Really quite a bit of amp for the money and much better for practicing enjoyment.
