Our art rock punk band uses Kustom 200 and 250 models
Best pedal platform out there

Rip you face off tone, volume , harmonics, and tube distinction
Any amp solid state or tube with chips is junk

I had a Kustom Bass amp (black) that I bought in 1967 at Sam Ashe in White Plains, NY. Don’t know what happened to the head…but I used the cabinet as an extension years later w/ 2 15″ JBL d140”s w/my main an Acoustic 370 head and a Ampeg 8 10 bottom. Add a ’64 P Bass with Rotosounds and it was just a killer combo. Gave it to my younger cousin when I moved to LA.

In reply to Kevin Colt. There's no such thing as DC coming directly off a transformer. IT's all AC before it hits a rectifer.

I just acquired a 1980 Kustom studio series valve 4. I need to confirm the power transformer secondary voltages, (there are 5). Here’s what I have so far: 1) +15 -15 VDC, powers the SS preamp and effects. 2) 6.3 VAC, tube heaters. 3) 450 VDC, B+ voltage. 4) 400 VDC, screen grid voltage and 5) 300 VDC, grid bias voltage? The schematic is a bit vague on #5. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
