The much later Kustom and amps used resistors and 12 volt Zeners for the op amp supplies.

One for each 24 volt supply, each with a large power transistor. Originally posted by olddawg View Post. Related Tags Amplifiers Artist.

While solid-state amplifiers traditionally earned a reputation as being of lesser sonic quality than their tube-powered bretheren something that the advent of high-end digital modelling has put to bed for the most part plenty of recording artists have turned to the durability and consistency of the transistor to provide their tones, both live and on record. Perhaps the most iconic solid-state amp of all Roland Jazz Chorus JChas been used on countless albums by almost as many notable guitarists over the years, and is rightly revered and still highly sought-after today for its massive amount of headroom and pristine clean sounds. The amp has also been famously used by artists who are better known for their distorted sounds. Adam Jones from Tool also used it as a canvas for his more effect-driven tracks on the 10, Days album. Jones is something of a solid-state aficionado, also using a Sunn Beta Lead on Lateralus. Dimebag was a hugely influential figure in popularising the use of solid-state amps in metal. Later on, he got his own signature amplifier from Randall — the Warhead, which was released in

Still, a few brands earned praise and lasting respect on the basis of either their sounds, appealing looks or both. Kustom offered those vinyl wraps in a range of colorful metallic-sparkle options, including the Charcoal Sparkle shown on this Kustom KB amp. However, several serious players of the day knew Kustom had something to offer on the inside, too. This KB was billed as a watt model, although a watt RMS rating might have been more realistic; many solid-state amps of the day were advertised using their peak power rather than RMS power. The two-channel head has one Normal channel with controls for volume, bass and treble and a bright switch, and a Bright channel with additional speed and intensity controls for its tremolo, as well as reverb. It stands on a matching ported 2x15 cab, although some were sold with mammoth 3x15 cabs. Inside the chassis is old-school solid-state construction. It looks less like the innards of your defunct VCR — the way many modern-day solid-state amps do — and more like the circuit layout of a tube amp from the era, minus the tubes.

OK, I have issues with PE. I think it was called Hot Rod. It was mostly about California car guys who customized cars. I was a bit east but they also must have read that rag out in Kansas, because it all led to the development of Kustom amps and guitars. I remember seeing my first Kustom amp around Blue sparkle vinyl.

Where is the footswitch in the schematic? A uf or so cap, an isolation diode and a TIP regulator of the appropriate value for each rail should do the trick. If the signal dies at Q, check to see if the circuit matches the schematic. The much later Kustom and amps used resistors and 12 volt Zeners for the op amp supplies. Kustom KA.

So, if understand this correctly, the effects, reverb and tremolo in channel one and boost and clipper in the second channel, need the foot switch in order to be activated. It would sound like a normal tremolo, but with the addition [of] a little bit of this kind of a spooky sound that came out of vibrato. Log in. Stay Tuned

OK Cancel. Then I spent the next 45 years trying to get someone to replicate that. Apr 23, 5, Anytown,USA. Lot questions here, sorry. In the following video, Dave claims the amp sounded better than the Marshall tube amps he had been using. The amp has also been famously used by artists who are better known for their distorted sounds. Last edited by pontiacpete ; , PM. But there are only 5 wires connected to it. It was roughly watts and was solid-state, but it was probably the best-sounding solid-state amp ever made. Had a friend in high school that had one. Filtered by:. Is there a wiring for a pedal? Kustom also made great custom P. Kustom KA.
