Kustom KLA-10

I have no idea what year this amp was made in. It's not really versitile. Three knobs (volume, gain, voice/tone), a button for overdrive, nothing fancy. There's a headphone jack that I don't use, too. I think the speaker is about 6". I wish that this amp at least had a bit more EQ, but I guess you get what you pay for. It's like 12 watts, so unless I really had a hankering for a REALLY lo-fi tone on stage, I don't think it will serve for anything more than a practice amp.

I use this amplifier with two guitars-a tricked out Squier Super Sonic and a Fender Jazzmaster. It can't do much other than metal, rock, or blues, so it's not all that versitile sound-wise, either. It buzzes when my computer monitor is on and I'm using the Jazzmaster, which is kind of annoying, but can be remedied by turning the computer off. The clean channel sounds like shit if you turn it up too loud, the distortion sounds exactly like a DOD Death Metal, and it farts out at high volumes as well.

This amp probably won't leave my house unless I'm going to take it to school or a buddy's house to jam. It's tough, even though it sounds like shit.

I've been playing for 3 1/2 years. I own a Marshall JTM 60 that is currently in the shop for repairs, and the two previously mentioned guitars. I also own a small Smokey amplifier that I use for a practice amp when space is an issue, or this amp is not available for one reason or another. If it was stolen, I would probably pick up a small Fender practice amp used, or possibly a Crate. I don't really look for that much in an amp this size, since I don't use them unless it's an emergency. It was free, though, so it was an excellent value. If you buy this, don't pay more than 10 bucks, though.

i have the 99 model, solid state , it packs 12w on overdrive and 8 on clean (push button switch) compact size gain voice and volume on the front

this amp sounds like a old am raido on overdrive (really grainy and punchey) perfect for my virsital sound of alternitive and hardcore rock i love it

this is a well build amp metal corners cloth covered front vinal covered wood sides its all there

never had to talk with them

great buy for a new comer like me i love it best 70 bucks i spent

This is the best little practice amp, it works great, good power, and durable. it is metalish but has a pretty nice distortion for the price. Lound for the size. Obviously can't be used in a band.

This sounds like metallica with my epi special 2 retrofited with emg pickups, IT is good for metal. can be used for blues. Clean sounds distort

Never broken, it takes a hell of a beating. Never one problem to report

good for a practice amp. Good for first timers. It is great!

My amp was probably manufactured in '97. It has clean and overdrive channels, solid state circuitry and a passive EQ (tone control). It's just a practice amp, good for beginners

I use an Ibanez Joe Satriani 1000 with DiMarzio humbuckers, and this little amp sounds pretty good at 1/3 of its power. When you put the volume knob over 6/10, the sound begins to get distorted and the bass frequencies just get noisy. I play punk and heavy metal, so I'd need more power on low freqs. The overdrive channel is terrible, lots of noise and no punch. I use it with a Boss ME-8 Fx processor, and at low volumes the sound is really clear. But you mustn't forget it's a 10w amp!

In a year, never had problems.

Haven't dealt with them

A good practice amp, use it only with a GOOD signal processor. No power on low freqs, really bad o/d channel.

I got this amp with my guitar last year and was quite pleased with its bang for the buck. This is a pretty simple little amp, its a 10 watt practice amp that really wails when turned up for the size it is.

The distortion on it can be described as a low growl. I play alot of alternative and it suits me perfectly. The great thing about this amp is the simplicity of it. The clean tone also is nice.

This amp hasn't gave me one problem yet.

Never had to deal with em'

well, its a practice amp. And, like many new practice amps, it is made for the music style in which most young people like me like to play- Rock n' roll. The darned thing only has 3 knobs! Volume, voice, which is like a treble control, and gain. It has a headphone input also.

It rocks. Thats it. Thats all it will do! The flavour of distortion is bright 80's shred distortion aka the overly complimentary version. The down to earth description- cheap 30 dollar stomp box (-: To be complimentary-- It sounds alright for what it is. It does have a clean channel- however at high volumes it starts to distort itself. The amp comes with a little insert with some fun settings to try to achieve popular sounds and the like.

This is one area where it really shines, made in usa, and well made. Steel corner peices, hard and sturdy sides, nice thick cloth grill to protect the speaker. Will take some abuse.

never had a prob.

Well, here is the deal first time with a guitar and need a nice lil' amp to compliment your epiphone special, fender bullet standard or somethin, and you have your amp. I would buy it again. This is a starter amp, nothing more. Expecting anything more from this amp would be rather foolish.
