Kustom studio 4 valve [message #18900]

Hi everyone.

I just bought a Kustom studio 4 valve, today at a private auction. I don't know much about these amps but it sounded great and the bids were so low that, i just had to take it home. It's in fairly good condition, a few dings and scrathes here and there, but all channels are functioning and it actually sounds really good. The thing is, I really dont need the amp, since I already have one too many amps, so i was wondering how much these are worth these days?

Best regards
Lars

Is your Studio 4 valve a head only version or the combo 2x12 Celestion, or the single 15' Electro Voice speaker version?
Is the footswitch still with the amp?
Pricing is difficult, since your in Denmark. I don't think I've seen many pop up on ebay so you may want to do a search on completed items on ebay to see what they have sold for in the past. The footswitch would be a big plus.

Hello Pleat. There is no 4 valve studio head. The only head is the 2 valve studio.

Hej Down.
De kommer ind imellem på dba. hvor du sandsynligvis har købt din?
I Danmark er prisen nogenlunde omkring 3000,-4000,-
I US langt mindre, da der findes flere OVER THERE.Faktisk er de kopier/layout minder om Fender Bassman/Musicman med forskelle. Feks.Transistor pre. rør power. Problemet med dem kan være molex forbindelser på pre-amp boardet.Jeg har 2 valve versionen, som er en fed rock-maskine.

Hej Kochens.
Tak for dit indlæg. Jeg købte den på en privat auktion i forbindelse med et slags støttearrangement. Jeg har nu sat den til salg på DBA til 3000, så nu må vi se om den ryger:) Men ja, jeg er ret overrasket over hvor fedt den lyder. Især dens clean er jeg meget imponeret over.

Mvh Down

Hej Down
Det er netop clean kanalen som er fed på denne forstærker, den tager super imod pedaler. Såkaldte gain kanal/2 fungerer overhovede ikke. Synd du ikke vil beholde den. Har du prøvet at presse udgangsrør ca. 2/3 dele på clean? Ren Fender Bassman vintage, på den rigtige måde.Men held og lykke med salget.

Here in the USA, Kustom did offer the Studio Valve amp, all three models were available 50/100/150 watt models in the head version.
My literature has pictured the 4 valve head in black tolex model sitting on top of a 4 valve Celestion oak cabinet and a 4 valve SRO oak cabinet.

@Kochens Jeg er helt enig i at kanal 2 er rimelig ubrugelig, men dens clean lyder sgu vildt når man presser den:) Jeg ville egentlig også gerne beholde den, men jeg er godt dækket ind på forstærkerfronten, så jeg kan ikke rigtig forsvare at have den stående:) Så nu er den på den blå og så begynder det jo at vælte ind med skambud;)
