Kustom Quad65DFX

With 65 watts of output power and one 12-inch Celestion™ speaker, the QUAD 65DFX combo is one of Kustom's most popular amplifier models. From shimmering clean tones to extra-thick distortion, the QUAD has what it takes to satisfy the most discriminating players. - - Features include two totally separate channels, each with two different preamp modes to nail a wide variety of clean and dirty sounds. Like the bigger QUAD100DFX, there are Bass, Middle and Treble controls for each channel. Eight 24-bit digital effects are also on-board, so you can add studio-quality Reverb, Echo, Chorus, Flanger and more. The cool thing is, no matter what style of music you play, you can dial up great tones fast with the QUAD 65DFX.

Fantastic giggable compact solid state combo amp

Sound	The Quad65DFX is a very capable amp, which sounds great at bedroom volumes, and rehearsal/gig volumes. It has 2 channels, both with dedicated 3 band EQ controls. The additions of the 8 effects is a welcome addition too. The clean channel is capable of providing really lush clean tones, and it also seemed to take on pedals quite nicely. A "Bright" switch is also provided, but I preferred the tone with it turned off. The dirty channel is capable of generating quite a bit of distortion, although it is not really "tight" as such. It sounds great for rock tones, but for high gain metal you would probably want to tighten it up a bit with an EQ or maybe the right overdrive to push it a bit more. It also got a bit noisier with gain turned up and the boost engaged. If you liked the tones you could get soley from the amp you would probably also want a noise gate or similar to quieten down the amp in between notes. I predominantly used the Quad65DFX with a distortion pedal on the clean channel, and later on with a Zoom G7.1ut running through the effects loop, bypassing the amps preamp section. Both setups gave me great rock and metal tones. I particularly think that the Quad65DFX is a fantastic amp for using a multi-effects and modeling processors. The power stage seemed to play quite nicely with them, and allowed for the amp models to really shine. In this configuration with my Zoom G7.1ut I found that I could get tube like effect when rolling back my guitars volume to clean up the tone. Whilst it wasn't quite as good as a tube amp, it was quite comparable. Kustom seemed to have done a great job of making a smallish amp very LOUD. This amp was quite capable of keeping up with a drummer both in rehearsal and gig situations. It didn't seem to lose too much of it's tone when turned right up like many solid state amps do. The on-board effects are a nice touch, although a little limited with only a level control to adjust the volume. I did use the echo effect for one song my old band played to great effect.
Reliability	Kustom have definitely built a very solid amp. The controls are nice and tight, and the cabinet seems nice and solid. I've had no issues with the amp in the years I have owned it.
Customer Support	I have not needed to deal with Kustom or their local distributor.

Liked about it	Very loud capable compact solid state combo amp. * Clean channel was very nice and took distortion pedals nicely. * Effects and modelling processors work really nicely through the effects loop
Didn't like	Too much noise on the dirty channel with the gain right up. * Effects could have been better with the addition of a second control to adjust speed/rate, etc.
