I just walked into a pawnshop and found a K200A-4 head and 3-15 cab in blue sparkle - had to bring it home - but only getting reverb, no vibrato, selective boost or harmonic boost; do any of these effects require the footswitch to work? Any ideas what might cause them to fail if not a footswitch problem? thanks!!!!

I would disagree. I've found the RCA output is quite low. In fact, when you hook it up to another Kustom input the hiss is cumulative and gets really obnoxious. I would prefer to hook an output to the power amp without a pad and just let the input level control do it's work. You need a really high signal to noise ratio to get a good (not hissy) clean output. I think the RCA is next to useless.

BTW, I've also used that RCA jack as an input...to the Kustom power amp.
My old K-400 bass amp made a mighty fine stereo power amp for a traveling sound system (DJ system) I ran back in the 70's.
Used the two 3-15 cabinets for the low-end, and built some horn-loaded tweater cabinets to go on top.
I've heard that system is still in operation today!
