Loved those old amps, sometimes I rehearse in a room with about 8 Kustom Amps and cabs in there. A collector owns the place.

That was a LONG time ago. We performed this and other Stumpwater arrangements at the now defunct Cowboy Palace in Olathe, Kansas. And on a side note, our bass player at that time was Mark Mohling.

Mike Campbell used one on the Tom Petty ‘Echos”recording…I believe it may be the first sound you hear starting the record. He also was playing the Kustom guitar in the Last DJ video.

Thank you so much for this! I am building a wifi LANC remote and despite having found almost all of the function codes by trial and error, I was still looking for the gain/gain sel codes. It's harder when you don't have the remote but now thanks to you I got them.

This post on LANC codes I made exactly 10 years ago today, has finally found one person in all of KZfaq kingdom that has an interest. Glad you got some benefit out of it. I would be very interested to learn more about your project.

I have two Kustom B-series from 1968 and one C-series from 1969-70. B-series is THE sound. C- is a little thin.

I am using a kustom amp for my new single... Too much low end and also too bright.. Turn low and high down to 0 and turn the mid a fraction.. Turn gain down to 0... With out eq it's perfect for recording... Throw everything up to normal levels in low mid and high and it sounds great live .. Its the KGA10FX with KS6 little speaker

I attended an estate sale couple weeks ago in Overland Park, KS. I could see in the advance promotion there were an unusual number of Kustom amps and speaker enclosures. And when I arrived at the actual sale I found dozens of Kustom PA systems of different colors and sizes. Then I learned it had apparently belonged to Budd Ross family members. It gave me chills just thinking that this might be all that was left of what was once a very large and successful enterprise. RIP Budd.

Kustom Quad stack is the only amp I use live, and n the studio I use a 30watt lead Kustom amp, sometimes I just use the 30 watt to play live and people always ask me what I’m using... Dream is to have a special Kustom amp made for me and the metal music I make but don’t think they make any amps anymore.....

You’re very sensitive about equipment you have nothing to do with. Or maybe you do. Whatever. Just another dick on the internet. And those amps do notoriously suck, I just wanted maybe a rebuff how they don’t. Instead I got some dope. Good luck with that. And my avatar is a HR Ginger painting that’s been adored by thousands.

I used one of these back in the 70s. It sounded great and it was very sturdy. One afternoon, I picked up my band members and as we were driving on the gravel road, one of the guys yelled out "oh no!". I looked in the rear view mirror and saw the Kustom head bouncing along the road. I thought to myself that I had just lost a few hundred bucks. We got it back the practice space and tried it out - no problems. I added steel corner protectors and for all I know that amp still works today.

Kustom amps were all over the place when I was growing up in the 1960s. They were a lot less expensive than say a Fender Dual Showman. This made buying a bass amp with two or three 15 inch speakers within reach of most teenage bass players. The CTS speakers would not get very loud without breaking up but Kustom did make amps using JBL15 inch speaker for more $$$. I saw a photo of Jefferson Airplane with a larger Kustom head among all their other gear which they stack up on whatever stage they happen to be using.

Today I learned about Woodson Amps and PAs. Boliver, Missouri. Apparently manufactured Amps and Speaker cabinets with Kustom electronics minus the tuck & roll. Woodson amplifiers were made in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s in Bolivar, Missouri USA. Made by Bud Ross’s brother in law, Thomas Woodson. A prime example of ’70s solid state technology. Woodson amps were only manufactured for about 6 years. jedistar.com/woodson/
