Vintagie USA MADE original Tuck and Roll Kustom 200 amp 4 channels (at present 1 works) so she is visiting the AMP WHISPERER, Drumoid, to get a good rogering---er I mean going over ---

The one working channnel is VERY nice ---ot OOZES old CCR ----tone built in reverb....and 45+ year old NOT RIPPED tuck and roll red sparkle .....weights a TON and a half.....
Fingers crossed it fires on all 4 cylinders---- if it does it flips OUT for $$$$$$$$ if not I'lll keep and play with the 1 working channel (I dont need 4 anyway)
 
Did you run a bass through that Kustom yet?
You’re making me want to fire mine up again.
Congrats on both scores sir!!!
 
I did not ---you crazy Bastard.....I thought it was a "guitar amp" -- however through much online searching I am thinking it is actually a keyboard/bass amp --- in which case it will not FLIP at all --- it shall be cherished and coveted as a rare and lovely beastie....

I have heard that the early Kustoms where just good clean amps--- they didnt "segregate" --- bass, guitar, lead -- rythm-- they where just 50 watt 100 watt 200 watt--- 1 channel 2 channel 4 channels .....oh my

any Light on this shadow from learned scholars on this subject MUCH APPRECIATED
 
Shows what you know ;) --- THAT is a RARE red sparkle tuck n roll USA made vintage (late 60's) nostalgia MACHINE my down under buddy --- a pure piece of Americana from the Kansas farm lands.......and your beloved GRETSCH co. had a hand in there as well.......at one point......

Kustom Amplification - Wikipedia


However its an "aquired taste" --- and the fact the "tuck and roll" still survives after 45-50 years......THAT is worth the price of admission

FYI it weights a TON (not kidding) and I think the KUSTOM amp company WOULD have made a FORTUNE in Bomb shelters -- these things make Peavey amps---and Tanks ---look like matchstick structures!!!!!!!
 
Kustom pretty much made the call on what the amp was by the speaker pairing, and sometimes by options(but that’s not saying that they changed anything else in the amp section).
Basically, if it’s plugged in to a bass speaker cab, it is a bass amp(even if it has fuzz, and wah, built in). If it’s plugged in to a guitar cab, it is a guitar amp.
They built the same power amps, pre amps, and eq, in to all the heads of each trim level.
I learned the K-250 line pretty well because that’s what I have(a 1973 K-250-2). In learning about it, I learned that was basically the way they ran things.
