this is a 2-conductor 1/4" speaker output jack. Rating is 8 ohms minimum. The signal path to
the internal speakers is disconnected when using this jack. Make absolute sure that a 2-conductors speaker cord is
used and it is plugged in to the external speaker cabinet before plugging into this jack. Failure to do so could result
in electrical shock or damage to the amplifier. It is also highly recommended to turn off the AC mains power to the
amplifier before plugging or unplugging any speakers to this jack.
this is a 3-conductor. XLR output jack for plugging into Lo-Z microphone inputs as found
on PA or recording mixers. It is intended in place of external mics or used as a built-in direct box. Great effort was
made in emulating the actual speaker sound.
This switching line level input jack is the return from an external signal
processor such as a digital delay or EQ. By using this jack, you break the signal path between the preamp output
and power amp input.
his line level output jack is the send to an external signal processor. It can also
be used as a preamp output and it does not break the signal path between the power amp and preamp. The front
panel volume and tone controls do affect the output of this jack. The output of the speaker is not emulated, so this
is not a good choice as a substitute for mic-ing the amp.
his is a 3-conductor line level input jack. The right and left channels are summed together on
the ring and tip and sent to the preamps master mix section. The boost volume on the front panel is the only control
that has any affect on this input. It acts as a master volume.
The tip selects the rhythm or lead channel. The ring is multifunction for
the overdrive on/off switch and the effects active/off switch. This foot-switch is not included with the amplifier.
Kustom model KACFS-301 must be used to enjoy all the features.
The top panel
overdrive on/off and effects active/off switches will still function.

this 2-conductor 1/4" switching jack replaces the Toggle Tap switch on the top panel. This is a
nice feature to have, because it allows you to change the selected effect parameter in real time with your foot while
playing. Using the jack disables the top panel switch. The jack accepts a non-LED single button momentary foot-
switch. This foot-switch is not included with the amplifier. Kustom model KACFS-101M can be purchased
separately. Most keyboard sustain pedals are this type and can also be used. NOTE: most single button foot
switches used on analog instrument amplifiers are alternate contact (the "push on/push off" type). Using this type of
switch will give unsatisfactory results but will not damage the amplifier.
1/4"
ingle-conductor
shielded
stereo jack connects a foot-switch to the amplifier. It uses a special circuit to decode the
3 switches through a simple stereo cable.
In an emergency, a mono s
instrument cable and single button foot-switch can be used to allow switching of the channels only. In this
setup, the LEDs will not be visible, but at least the foot-switch will select Rhythm or Lead channels.
