Okay....I tried the Hustler out and decided it has issues and is too big to haul around BUT....I fell in love with the tremelo and vibrato on this amp.
Now I want a combo with these features.....where does a guy turn when he wants a tuck and roll Kustom combo? Ebay? I'm gonna sell my Fender Deluxe 65 reissue and buy a Kustom....What are the model numbers for combos with the trem/vibrato feature?
I know these are a lot of questions but I'm hooked.
Thanks in advance for info and guidance

Hello. Maybe there is something to that ohm mismatch of 16 and 8. My full stack with my K200-A5 on top is running a Crate 4x12 slant on top at 16 ohms and an Orange 4x12 at 8 ohms, and it sounds absolutely perfect. 5.3 ohms is great for my amp since at 4 ohms it clips too easily and at 8 ohms it isn't as loud, so I have a perfect medium. With my 2x15 Jensen cab though (which meters to around 6.3 DC resistance), it gets very loud too; the older, broken in speakers have the lower ohm load (my CTS 1x15 100 cab, which is rated at 16 ohms, reads 10.7 for instance). Anyway, I love it since the Orange has higher wattage Eminence speakers from '71 in it and the Crate has lower wattage speakers (i think the cab is from the late 80's). It mixes well since the Orange is really bassy and round, while the Crate plays out higher and is more scooped. The two together make a 5'10" monster of awesomeness, and of course it only works well with my blue K200-A5; i've tried other amps with this setup and the Kustom kicks them all. Good luck!
P.S.- if any of you are going to be in the Cedarburg, WI (north of Milwaukee, Ozaukee county area) tomorrow night (13th) at 7:00, you should check out the Jam for Charity in the Cedarburg Performing Arts Center. I'll be using this amp there
