A fine ride.

The Kustom '72 Coupe combo amp dishes out 72 watts of complex, harmonically rich tube tone that reacts to your most subtle playing techniques. And when you need more presence, it's there. Technically speaking, the '72 Coupe runs on four 6L6 power tubes with a 12AX7 preamp. Furthermore, it uses a self-biased power amp design in tandem with a secondary, partially fixed-bias technique. This produces an amplifier with the best of both worlds: self-biased reliability and the increased power and dynamics of a fixed bias design.

Drawing on its heritage, Kustom teamed up with U.S. speaker manufacturer Eminence to produce a new driver exclusively for the Coupe Series. The result is the KEI (Kustom-Eminence Integrated) Turbo 12 speaker. With its distinctive aluminum dust cap, the Turbo 12 is a modern interpretation of a vintage speaker design that gives players a taste of the original speaker's tonal properties, which were great for cleaner tones, while successfully handling more modern, high-gain sounds as well.

The '72 Coupe amp features two channels (Rhythm/Lead), each with own Master Volume control which lets users dial in anything from gritty, medium-gain sounds to scorching, full-on hard rock tones. Each channel also provides a Pull-Bright function that, when activated, tightens up the low-end response for a chunkier, British-type tone. When not pulled, the tonal response is fuller and rounder, a more "American" tone. By the way, the EQ (Bass, Middle, Treble) reflects pure, vintage Kustom specifications.

The '72 Coupe also provides an Accutronics Reverb unit with Tone control (another vintage Kustom feature) and classic Tremolo and Vibrato effects. You'll also find a Tube-Driven Effects Loop, a speaker-emulated Direct Out, a Baltic Birch cabinet and a 3-function footswitch that switches channels, turns the effects on or off, and also activates a 10db overall volume boost for solos. The '72 Coupe is a highly tuned amplifier that sounds as hot as it looks.

Fantastic Versatile Tube Amp

Posted by Jack from Maine on Sep 17, 2009

Experience w/product: I own it

Reviewer's Play Style: Blues, Rock

This is an incredible amplifier, and the most user friendly I've ever had for gigging.

It has a very dynamic EQ section, really letting you sculpt your tone. Also, the boost function, footswitchable reverb or tremolo, and direct speaker emulated line out make it an absolute BREEZE to play and balance sound with.

My only qualm is that its a back breaker - but so are any other 2x12 amp.

Terrific amp...killer looks

Note all the positive reviews here...this is a GREAT amp. Sounds terrific at low volume, and fills some very big rooms when you pound it. Build quality could be a little better in my opinion, but price/features/performance are hard to beat. Plus, who can resist blue tuck and roll? Buy American!

DUO BLAST

I was searching for an amp that I could play ALL of my guitars and harmonica through. A very seasoned musician/sales dude pointed me at the '72 Coupe and lordie he was right. I've always had to use a low wattage amp to get the sound/tone I needed, but now I only need one amp on stage! The Telecaster,S.G.,360-12 all can be dialed in with ease! I'm saying goodbye to my twin. It's perfect all around.

Who Says 72 Watts Is Quiet?!!!!

Posted by Your Stereotypical Gear Nut from Brentwood, CA on Apr 10, 2008

Experience w/product: I own it

Reviewer's Play Style: Power Pop

I slaved away on my uncle's farm to earn enough cash to claim a Coupe of my own. When I first sampled the incredible virility contained within this beast's tuck'n'roll visage I knew I just had to have this amp. My blood, sweat, and tears were well earned; this amp is amazing!!! With it "Pull Bright" feature and eight Sovtek tubes this amp will blow its solid-state ancestors out of the swamp that John Fogerty lives in. The tremelo and vibrato are a nice addition, as well as the spring reverb. It has incredible headroom and amazing sound; chunky and heavy, yet able to evolve into a sweet sustaining sound. When I play my Gibson ES-135 with my 1979 Big Muff Pi kicked on through this amp, I can annihilate all who are foolish enough to stand in my path. Some idiot scoffed at the 72 watt output. Needless to say, he now is still trying to recover his hearing back.
