System Components:
KUSTOM KG100HFX Guitar Amplifier Head
The Kustom® KG100HFX is a classic, 100-watt guitar amp head. It offers two channels (Rhythm and Lead), tone controls and digital effects. Although it will work with a wide variety of speaker cabinets, it is intended to use with the Kustom KG412 cabinet because it will deliver all 100 watts to this 4-ohm cabinet.
- The KG100HFX’s Rhythm channel offers clear, dynamic tones that are perfect for a wide variety of musical styles. Using the Gain control, the Lead channel can dish out anything from chunky Classic Rock sounds to the heaviest, scooped Metal tones out there. Separate Bass, Middle and Treble controls let players fine-tune the tonal response as required.
- In addition, the KG100HFX provides built-in Reverb and Delay effects that may be activated on the amp’s front panel. Reverb can provide anything from subtle room ambiance to an all-out wash of cavernous sound. Delay is perfect for fattening up lead tones, especially when combined with distortion. Chorus adds a shimmering, liquid-like quality to the sound, especially with chords.
- Like every KG amp, the KG100HFX offers an auxiliary input for plugging in an MP3 or CD player to practice along with tunes and a 1/8-inch headphone input. Now you can leave your KG412 speaker cabinet at your band’s rehearsal space, bring your KG100FX head home and practice along with MP3s – all without the need for a speaker cabinet. Just plug in your headphones and rock!
- An Effects Loop with Send and Return jacks provides flexibility for integrating external effects and processors.
- When the KG100HFX is used with a dual-function footswitch, channel-switching and a “hidden” volume boost feature may be activated. The boost is perfect for making solos stand out in a band mix. (Note: The Kustom KACFS201 footswitch may be used for this application.)
1. Input 1: ¼-inch input jack that is intended for electric guitars but will accept other instruments as well. This input provides the highest gain. It is considered to be the “normal” input.
2. Input 2: This ¼-inch input jack provides 6 dB lower gain so it will allow for a cleaner sound. It can also be useful when using pedals in front of the amp since it provides more headroom. If guitars are plugged into both inputs, they will mix together and both will be 6 dB lower in gain.
3. Gain (Lead): Adjust this control clockwise to increase the amount of distortion. Use in its lower ranges to produce less distorted tones. As you increase the amount of gain, the tonality will shift from a classic rock-type sound to a heavier, modern tone.
4. Volume (Lead): This controls the overall volume level of the Lead channel only.
5. Channel: This switch selects between the Lead and Rhythm channels
6. Volume (Rhythm): This controls the overall volume level of the Rhythm channel only.
7. Bass: This controls the bass frequencies for both channels. For a “tighter” bass response, set the Bass control in its lower ranges.
8. Middle: This controls the middle frequencies for both channels. For a heavier, more distorted sound, set the Middle control in its lower ranges. For a vintage-style, cleaner tone, set the Middle higher
9.) Treble . This controls the treble frequencies for both channels.
10.) Delay/Reverb . This switch selects between Delay or Reverb effects.
11.) Effects . This control increases the effect signal level and mixes it with the instrument signal
12.) Chorus . By pressing in, this switch activates a lush chorus effect.
13.) Aux in. This is a 3-conductor ,1/8-inch stereo jack that allows playback from a compact disc,MP3 player or other audio device.
14.) Headphones . This is a 3-conductor,1/8 jack intended for headphone use.
15.) Power Switch . This dual-function component is both an ON/OFF power switch and a status indicator light.
- Speaker Output: This is a 1/4-inch speaker jack that is used to connect the KG100HFX to a speaker cabinet. Rating is 4-ohms minimum. For full power, use a 4-ohm load. (The Kustom KG412 speaker cabinet is the ideal match for the KG100HFX both in terms of impedance and tonality.)
- Footswitch: This ¼-inch jack is used to connect an optional footswitch to the amplifier. The Kustom model KACFS- 100 may be purchased separately. This single-button footswitch can be used to select between the Lead and Rhythm channels while playing.
- Effects Loop Send: Use this 2-conductor, ¼-inch jack to connect to the input of an external effects processor or equalizer. This jack can also be used as a Preamp Out.
- Effects Loop Return: Use this 2-conductor, ¼-inch jack to connect to the output of an external effects processor or equalizer. This jack can also be used as a Power Amp In. (Note: This jack separates the preamp from the power amp. If using an external effect, the effect will be in series between the Effects Loop Send and Effects Loop Return. The amount of “dry” signal will be controlled by the external effect.)
KUSTOM KG412 Speaker Cabinet-Slant
The Kustom® KG412 is a classic, slanted 4x12 speaker cabinet with all of the high-energy tone and style you could ever want. Slightly smaller than a traditional 4x12, the KG412 is built with plywood for enhanced resonance and loaded with four, 12-inch Kustom speakers. It handles 120 watts RMS / 240 watts peak.
- The KG412 is a perfect match for the 100-watt KG100HFX Kustom guitar amp head. Due to the cabinet’s 4-ohm rating, this amp head will deliver all 100 watts into this cabinet without the need for a second 4x12 cabinet. Wait until you hear it!
