The brite switch on kustom amps activate a boost circuit for the highs, and unlike fender and other amps of the era that just switch in a cap across the volume control and hence on those amps once you have the volume control past the halfway position the brite cap is out of the circiut, on a kustom the high end boost is on for the full range of the volume control.You also get some extra hiss on a kustom since this circuit is active and not just blocking some lows like on a fender amp.The 2 jacks on each channel of a non-effect kustom head(100s and 200s) are for tonal differnces. The low labled jack has a cap in serise to block some highs, the high labeled jack just goes right to the preamp.The non-effect equiped heads are all the same and can be used for guitar, bass or keyboards.They put out a little more clean head room then the effect heads since their powersupply is not feeding all the extra circuitry of a effect type head.
