Kustom Double Cross 100-Watt All Tube Guitar Amp Head Overview
Expanding its U.S. tube amplifier line, Kustom proudly introduces the Double Cross, a world-class, all-tube, 3-channel guitar head. Designed by noted amp builder James Brown, the 100-watt Double Cross boldly redefines high-gain guitar amplification with a broad spectrum of stunning new tones and user-modified features. The Double Cross platform consists of three distinctively voiced channels: Rhythm, Lead I and Lead II. Each Lead channel can be modified by users via four separate function switches which are located at the four end points of a "Cross" design on the control panel. These switches are not simply EQ parameters: instead, each uniquely blends additional 12Ax7 tube stages, letting players actually alter the Gain/EQ/Attack structure of their preamps - modifications usually not offered to consumers unless they take their amplifier to a knowledgeable technician to be permanently "modded." In general, the two Lead channels are voiced differenctly, with Lead I catering to a modern heavy tone and Lead II crafted for a more tradtional, high-gain "cranked amp" lead tone. All three channels of the Double Cross provide separate Gain and Volume controls - a standard Kustom feature - as well as independent Bass, Middle, Treble and Presence controls. There is also a global Master Volume and a Boost Volume control that can be activated with the Double Cross's 5-function metal footswitch (included). The rich, punchy tone of Kustom's D.I. signal has been revered by professional musicians and is now even better. Special features include an all-tube, footswitchable effects loop, a 6L6 / EL34 bias switch for changing output tube types, a Tight input jack that tightens the attack response of the entire amplifier, and a 5-function footswitch that activates each channel, the Boost function, and the effects loop.Available at Amazon Check Price Now!
