Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The Kustom Quad amps are very good solid state amps. I compared several in this price range and this one was by far the best for the money. I own this one and the 100 watt Quad Jr. These amps have a tremendous clean sound. Their dirty sound is great for hard rock, but in my opinion they could use a bit more gain. There's just not enough distortion to get those real heavy sounds for metal; however, an eq helps immensely. The Quad Junior's distortion is a bit muddy, so I boost the mids with a looped EQ. The fx loop is the tip and ring kind, so you will need a Y cable. I run through a full rack i.e a compressor, EQ, preamp/modeler, multi fx, sonic uiltrimizer, and noise gate. I run the Boss MD 2 mega distortion, Bad Monkey tube emulator and Vox wah up front, and the clean channel handles the Boss pedal very well. This amp does not sound much different from the tube Marshalls I've played through over the years, but running direct with no fx is a bit lacking. Overall, for the money, you can't go wrong. Kustom is very underrated; they make great equipment! This Quad 100 HD head is rugged and huge! Kustom does not include the foot-switch (which is hard to come by) but they do give you two very good, sturdy cables to connect to cabinets. Both the HD and Quad Jr. amps are loud as hell! If you are running two cabinets, they push all 100 watts to both cabinets. These amps have built in effects which are ok. The effect parameters are not tweakable, but are good in certain situations. I had purchased the B-52 LS 100, and it was not as good as this amp, although it had more features. Overall, the quad amps are basic, solid, well built amps and Kustom's tech support is great. I've never had any issues with either amp, or the Kustom PA I use at rehearsal. If you're looking at tube heads, Kustom makes an amp called the Double Cross. It retails at around $1,600 and it is sick!
