Hello. My pedal set up as of now with my K200-A5 (with two 4x12 cabs, full stack ) is from guitar to amp: Boss CS-3 compressor, Dunlop Jimi Hendrix fuzz wah, Ibanez Tone-Lok tubescreamer, Boss DS-1, and a Vox volume pedal. It's a very versatile set-up, with three different overdrives and the compressor as a boost, not to mention you can control the volume with your feet. It responds differently to every guitar; it seems to like my Gibson SG special w/ humbuckers and a Fender Strat with an Epiphone SG neck on it that once was smashed (it's built from four different guitars my friend had sitting around, only cost me $40 to build ). The speaker cabs you use with your amp have a huge effect on your tone as well. With this setup, it sounds completely differet from cabinet to cabinet. I have the original Kustom 2x15 Jensen cab, which is very midrangey and has a cool honky sound, a Sonic 4x10 cab loaded with Madison Archer speakers and has a very in your face bassy smack, and the full stack setup (an early 90's Crate cab that is very bright and a '71 Orange 4x12 that is very bassy; nice combination). I like the full stack the best for appearance and sound reasons, not to mention the fact that it could kill someone if i turn the amp up half!
Well, that's my setup. I'd say experimentation with YOUR stuff is the best option; I have four Strats and they all sound completely different (though one is a 12 string, but yeah), and my other Kustom head (a K200-B6) sounds really different from my A-5. Good luck!

the honor would be mine...and you and all our gang should know that my home is always open for a stop-in...I'm about 7 minutes off the I-77 heading south for any snow birds needing some Florida warmth and are passing through the north/south carolina border....always plenty of kustoms around so if I run out of beds you know you've got someplace soft to lay on.....
