I have a Kustom amp .. on the face side of the amp it says its a Bob Ross amp ... there isn't any model or serial number on the back ... nor is there a place where one was, no signs of one ever being there .. some sort of rivet hole ...or where it may have been glued on screw on it just isn't there

looking at the amp strait on the knobs read as followed

left side top knobs Right side top knobs
Rev, speed, Volume, bright vol bright slective boost har Clip
left side bottom knobs right side bottom knobs
tremolo inten bass treb bass treb boost volume clib volume

I have that same amp model )))200((( on the front
it came with a blue jewel pilot light. I bought it in the 1970's
It works but very noisy. I have replaced a transistor in the preamp once before. I need a schematic and I am excited to dig in and fix my baby. Dom Franco

It sounds like it's a K200A-4 amp. There should be a XLR Jack on the lower right side looking at the back of the amp where the footswitch jack would plug in.

The early 200A series used a aluminum foil sticker on the upper left side on the back of the amp for model and serial number that could have been peeled off. Yours probably have round silver kitchen drawer knobs for the power cord wrap.

The K200B series would not have the By Ross under the power light. The )))200((( under the Kustom logo would be the B series and would have 1/4" footswitch jacks on models with effects.

Bob Ross? It's probably "Bud Ross". Or perhaps does it say "Kustom By Ross"?

Can you post a picture of it?

I don't have any schematics for your amp. I've never seen a kustom K200A series labeled anything but BY ROSS INC. Does your K200A have two white circuit breakers, one on each side of the power switch? The circuit breaker models used a etched aluminum face plate rather than the black plexi face control panels that were used on the Frankies and the latter K200A series without the circuit breaker models. Glad to hear you have the footswitch. The footswitch is a must if you want to use any of the effects. The cool thing with the A4 amp is all effects were routed to the left channel.
