Hi folks,

   I know I've seen this here before, but can't find it.  Can someone tell me what the different model number designations mean?  There will be a dash number after the model, looks like 1 thru 8.  I know it has something to do with what effects they have, etc.

I think generally it's as-follows:
-1 basic 2 channel, Bass/Treble/Bright Switch
-2 Adds Reverb and Tremolo
-3 Adds Selective Boost and Harmonic Sustain(?- aka fuzz)
-4 Adds both features from -2 and -3
-5 PA head - has four channels just like the -1, but adds reverb.

Also note that the K200A-4 is the "John Fogerty" model, where you can use all four  effects on one channel.  The somewhat later K200B-4 has the Reverb/Trem on one channel and Fuzz/Boost  on the other.  Can't use them together unless you use a Y cable to drive both channels at once.

I think this all mostly holds true for the K100 and K150/250 slant front models, but there may be variations.
Consult the catalog photos in the Literature section to be sure.
