From rich articulate tones to powerful overdrive in a 5W guitar amp head and 30W Kustom 12" speaker.
The Kustom Defender 5W Class A Guitar Amp Head
Is there anything more fun than a low-wattage all-tube amp head that provides authentic, cranked-up tube tone at modest volume levels? And can you say "simple?" The Defender 5-watt Model 5H guitar head has one knob”Volume. But the fun lies in hearing what this knob does as you slowly turn it up. Starting in the counterclockwise position, you'll move through clean and clear tube tones to progressively dirtier sounds until this little sucker is just plain screaming.
This "clean-to-mean" response isn't due to any overdrive or distortion circuit, it's just the sound of the single EL34 power tube moving naturally into increased output distortion. And it's great for cranking up and controlling the action right from your guitar's volume control”no channel-switching required. The amp head contains one 12AX7 preamp tube, one EL34 power tube, and three speaker outputs (4, 8, and 16-ohm).
The Kustom Defender 1x12 Guitar Speaker Cabinet
The Kustom Defender 1x12 guitar speaker cabinet is a solidly constructed speaker cab with a single 12" Kustom speaker. The Kustom speaker handles 30 watts RMS and is rated at 16 ohms. The speaker itself is designed to produce rich, articulate clean tones and yet responds great to overdriven signals too. The Kustom cabinet uses a speaker baffle board made of plywood, which provides enhanced resonance.
