Gear Watch: Kustom KB Series Amplifiers
Kustom Amplification has introduced a brand new line of bass amps, called the KB series. The line consists of five combo amps, ranging from 10 to 200 watts, and a 200-watt head, which is available as rack-mountable or in a standalone wooden cabinet.
Kustom describes the KB series as based on producing great tone, without “useless bells and whistles.” Each product features intuitive EQ controls, a 1/8-inch auxiliary input for playing along with MP3s or CD’s, and a headphone out jack. The 100- and 200-watt models also provide a balanced XLR line output with level control, effects in and outs, and a ground lift.
All KB Series amps have a five-year, transferable electronics warranty. For more info, visit Kustom’s web site.
