- Page 15 The Reverb can be defeated with the footswitch, or by turning the Intensity control fully counter-clockwise. 14) Reverb Tone—A traditional Kustom feature, the Reverb Tone allows the user to fine-tune the sound of the reverb effect. Turning this Tone fully clockwise yields a very bright reverb effect with emphasized “spring.”...

The output is speaker-emulated, and mimics the sound of the KEI-Kustom Eminence Integrated Turbo-12 loudspeaker. This output is very useful for direct recording, and espe- cially helpful for live applications since it eliminates a live microphone on stage and the resulting feedback potential.
- Page 17 The result is that the amp will control its own bias to a certain point, but without the typical reduction in power associated with nor- mal self-biased amp designs. The ’36 Coupe uses two 6L6s in a “push-pull” amplifier configuration.

It is considered to be the “normal” input. 2) Input 2—This 1⁄4” input jack provides 6dB lower gain through the amp, so it will allow for a cleaner sound. It can also be useful when us- ing pedals in front of the amp, since it provides more headroom through the front end.

- Page 25 9) Impedance Selector—This switch is used to select the appropriate impedance, and is important in achieving the desired results from the Coupe amplifiers. The cor- rect impedance should be selected using the Impedance Selector Switch as follows: Incorrectly “mismatching” the amp to the speaker should not damage the amplifier, but would result in lower output powers, and could result in shorter output tube life.
- Page 26 Selection(Lead) button would select between Rhythm and Lead, but it would not illuminate. Also, the Boost function would be disabled, and on the ’36 Coupe, the Reverb would also be disabled. On the ’72 Coupe, either Reverb or Tremolo could still be used since selecting the other with the footswitch assign button would disable it.
