Drawing
on its colourful history as one of America’s original
rock ‘n’ roll guitar amp builders,
Kustom proudly introduces the all-tube Coupe™
Series.
With unique, high-performance circuitry under their
hoods, the new ‘36 and ‘72 Coupe models
deliver an arsenal of
in-your-face, vintage tube amp tones. From biting blues
to roaring rock, it’s all here, loaded with attitude
and style
that are classic Kustom.
Tapping
into its colourful 1960’s and ‘70’s
era guitar amps, Kustom redefines the term ‘Tuck
‘n’ Roll’ for a new generation of
players with its road-ready Coupe™ Series. U.S.
and imported parts, offer a fresh take on Kustom’s
patented visual aesthetics while cranking out a variety
of ballsy, tube amp tones.
Designed by amp guru James Brown – now Kustom’s
chief engineer – the ‘36 Coupe™ and
‘72 Coupe™ utilise 12AX7 preamp and 6L6
power tube platforms and are rated at 36 and 72 watts
respectively. Technically speaking, both models use
a self-biased power amp design in tandem with a secondary,
partially fixed-bias technique. This produces an amplifier
with the best of both worlds: self-biased reliability
and the increased power of a fixed bias design.
Drawing on its heritage, Kustom teamed up with U.S.
speaker manufacturer Eminence® to produce a new
driver exclusively for the Coupe™ Series.
The result is the KEI™ (Kustom -Eminence Integrated)
Turbo 12™ speaker. With its distinctive aluminium
dust cap, the Turbo 12 is a modern interpretation of
a vintage speaker design that gives the player a taste
of the original speaker’s unique tonal properties,
which were great for clearer tones, while successfully
handling more modern, high-gain sounds as well.
The concept behind the Coupe™ Series was to take
the best elements of vintage Kustom amps and include
modern details such as channel switching, higher gain,
an effects loop and high-quality, double-sided printed
circuit boards to ensure that every amp sounds the same.
From sparkling clean to stinging blues licks and fat,
roaring rock sounds, the Coupe™ Series does it
all. Offering boutique amp quality at production amp
prices, you owe it to yourself to test drive a Coupe!
