My Kustom Kombo ("oh, no, it's that guy with the organ again!") doesn't have much of a "thump" when I switch it on. Could that be caused by aging filter caps in the power supply? Right now, I'm running it through a cheap 12" speaker until I get my 15's replaced - it's got a little bit of "oomph" when I switch it on, but nothing like the pronounced "thump" I remember from the 60's (the last time I had the pleasure of switching on a real Kustom).
