Kustom 100 DFX made in 2003. 100W 2X12 combo amp. I like the flexability. I agree that the effects could be more adjustable but I dont really use effects that much and for what I'm looking for, its perfect! The 100W this thing pushes is plenty loud. I think it would work fine in live situations.

I play an Epiphone Les Paul with EMG 81 & 85. Mostly hardcore punk and this amp works great for this. I love the distorted sound this thing gets! Plenty of crunch but nice and tight at the same time. The low end is deep but not distorted. Muting comes out very defined. The thing that really blew me away was the clean sound though. very bright. I play a Taylor 514ce and have tried many acoustic amps that didnt sound this good (for $100-200 more!)

Been playing for about 20 years In bands and out and I have used Crate, Marshall Fender, and Ampeg amps and I would have to say that for the money, this is probably the best amp I have owned.

Made in 2003 bought for 375.00. I like all the feature on the amp as the previous user talked about, but I wish it had a little more flexability on the effects. They are pretty much set in stone except for the level of them in the mix.I use this amp to practice with . I have A Marshall DSL head to cover live.

I use an ESP custom MIII with EMG 81's. I play mostly hard rock and metal and it is great for that.The amp is very clean sounding. IT can do heavey metal and country chicken pickin. The distortion is raging but stays focused which is great for Metal. The speakers soud fantastic you can get alot of tight low end out of them.

I've been playing for about 15 years andI really dig this amp. I think it is an excellent bang for the buck.I think for the money it blows the Line 6 stuff away.

2002 model year, Kustom's newest line features a clean with two preamp settings-warm & Brite, and a lead channel with two preamp voices-high gain UK & high gain US. Lead channel has an additional feature of an ultra high gain button. Each channel has an independent 3 band EQ section. Also has 8 built in digital effects, such as reverbs, delays, flangers, tremelos, and combinations of these effects with an effects level knob. Speaker out, XLR line out, foot switch. Celestion Speakers!!! I said Celestion Speakers !!!

I am using a Fender HM strat w/ dimarzio distortion humbuckers. I play 80's-90's-and nu-metal and this amp does all of my styles really well. I believe this amp will satisfy the most discerning metal maniac! I have played it live in small clubs and a few large clubs and I use it at rehersal always. Hook this up to a 4-12 cabinet and stand back! It'll knock you over! The clean channel sounds great with most settings and remains clean and bright to the upper registers where it gets a lil dirty bluesy tone to it.

I've played bass for 12 years and have been playing giutar for 7 and I must say this amplifier is the quietest amp I've owned. I was hooked on Crate for a long time and hve owned a GLX 212 dfx, and I would have to say that this amp sounds alot better, and this amp does not have the cheap flimsy plastic feel to like the Crate amps do. I wish it was footswitchable with a midi pedal for the effects, but I've learned to live with it like it is and love alot. If it were stolen I'de be pissed to say the least. I would definitely buy another one.
