Kustom Stereo Amplifier QUAD JR User Manual

Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of a Kustom QUAD JR. half-stack guitar amplifier. With this model,  
you will be able to easily produce a wide spectrum of killer sounds, from studio-quality clean tones to crunchy rhythm  
riffs and all-out screaming solo sounds. Two channels, dual 3-band EQ controls, and eight 24-bit digital effects  
provide on-the-fly flexibility that works in any playing environment.  
Unlike most 100-watt, solid-state amp stacks, your QUAD JR. does not need a second speaker cabinet to deliver its  
full power potential. Instead, it delivers all 100 watts straight into its Celestion™ loaded, 412 speaker cabinet. With its  
special hot-rodded circuitry, you'll notice that the QUAD JR. excels at heavy, modern rock. Prepare to be blown away!  
Kustom wishes you many years of enjoyment with your QUAD JR. amplifier.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
Danger  
Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause a  
permanent hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably to  
noise induced hearing loss but nearly everyone will lose  
some hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a  
sufficient time.  
1. Read all safety and operating instructions before using this  
product.  
2. All safety and operating instructions should be kept for  
future reference.  
3. Read and understand all warnings listed on the operating  
instructions.  
The U.S. Government's Occupational Safety and Health  
Administration (OSHA) has specified the following  
permissible noise level exposures:  
4 . Follow all operating instructions to operate this product.  
5. This product should not be used near water, i.e. Bathtub,  
sink,swimming pool, wet basement, etc.  
6. Only use dry cloth to clean this product.

8. Do not install this product near any heat sources ;such  
as,radiators, heat registers, stove or other apparatus  
(including heat producing amplifiers) that produce heat.  
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or  
grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with  
one wider than the 0ther.A grounding-type plug has two  
blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the  
third prong are provided for your safety If the provided plug  
does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for  
replacement of the obsolete outlet.  
According to OSHA, any exposure in the above permissible  
limits could result in some hearing loss. Ear plugs or  
protectors in the ear canal or over the ears must be worn  
when operating this amplification system in order to prevent  
a permanent hearing loss. If exposure in excess of the limits  
as put forth above, to insure against potentially harmful  
exposure to high sound pressure levels, it is recommended  
that all persons exposed to equipment capable of inducing  
high sound pressure levels, such as this amplification  
system, be protected by hearing protectors while this unit is  
in operation.  
10. Protect the power cord being walked on or pinched,  
particularly at Plugs, convenience receptacles and the point  
where they exit from the apparatus. Do not break the ground  
pin of the power supply cord.  
CAUTION  
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK  
DO NOT OPEN  
11 . Only use attachments specified by the manufacturer.  
12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table  
specified by the manufacturer or sold with the apparatus.  
When a cart is used, use caution when moving  
cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.  
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when  
unused for long periods of time.  
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO  
NOT REMOVE CHASSIS. NO USER-SERVICEABLE  
PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED  
SERVICE PERSONNEL.  
AVIS: RISQUE DE CHOC ELECTRIQUE-NE PAS OUVRIR.  
14. Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids  
are not spilled into the unit through the ventilation ports or  
any other openings.  
THIS SYMBOL IS INTENDED TO ALERT THE USER TO THE PRESENCE  
OF NON-INSULATED "DANGEROUS VOLTAGE" WITHIN THE  
PRODUCT'S ENCLOSURE THAT MAY BE OF SUFFICIENT MAGNITUDE  
TO CONSTITUTE A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK TO PERSONS.  
15. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing  
is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any  
way; such as, power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid  
has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus,  
the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does  
not operate normally or has been dropped.  
THIS SYMBOL IS INTENDED TO ALERT THE USER TO THE PRESENCE  
OF IMPORTANT OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE (SERVICING)

Blues Lead or Mellow Crunch - this setting is particularly useful in blues or softer rock songs and it  
is good for leads as well as rhythm parts. It is good for power chords in back of leads. You need to  
switch to the lead channel to make these settings work. Blues, depending on the guitar you use,  
usually adds treble but with more midrange and a "fat" bottom end. This setting does not have as  
much gain as full out crunch, adjust the gain control to the amount of distortion you desire. Blues  
usually has a reverb trail on the notes. Chorus is sometimes used to create a vibrato style sound.  
Adjust to taste.

Alternative/Harder Edged Rock - this setting will deliver more of a cutting tone. Whether used for  
rhythm or lead sounds, it will "cut" through the drums and get you heard. If you need more "grunge",  
increase the gain control for more distortion. This style of music requires a slightly thinner, harder  
edged tone full of midrange. Less reverb is required as it tends to muddy up faster songs but Chorus  
give the tone a fatter fuller sound. Adjust to taste.

Heavy Metal/Maximum Crunch - this setting is a good starting point for the "notched out middle"  
sounds associated with metal and heavy alternative sounds. Adjust the Treble, Lows, Reverb and  
Chorus to taste. Usually, for a rhythm tone, you want to have more lower end and less for leads.  
Distortion is an integral part of this style of music and this amp delivers it quite well.
