The HV100 represents the top-of-the-line High Voltage combo. One hundred RMS watts of power and two 12-inch Celestion speakers provide tight, high-volume tube tone with total control. The heart of the HV100 is its 12AX7 tube preamp. To maximize the tubeas distinctive audio characteristics and dynamic range, the HV preamp circuit operates at higher voltage levels. The resulting tone is rich, dynamic and loaded with harmonic content. The HV100THD takes this same flexible circuitry and offers it in a classic head format that is perfect for use with Kustom 4x12 speaker cabinets. The HV100THD offers the same two-channel layout, with Gain and Master Volume controls. This Dual Master system provides natural tube overdrive and compression on both channels and itas great for dialing in medium-gain tones with ease. Tone controls consist of passive Bass, Middle and Treble controls on both channels that are the same specification as those found on Kustomas award winning, all-tube CoupeA amplifiers. The Speaker-Emulated Direct Out and variable, footswitchable Volume Boost are also borrowed from the CoupeA. The Boost is a cool feature in itself, allowing players to dial in the perfect volume level for solos a" whether clean or dirty a" and then activate this boost using the optional HV footswitch. The icing on the cake is the 24-Bit Digital Multi-Effects System. It provides 16 high-fidelity, semi-programmable effects with increased flexibility thanks to Tap or Toggle functions for each effect, letting players fine-tune their choices. Alternately, the Spring Reverb effect can be toggled between three different tonal selections; the Rotary Speaker can be ramped between speeds and the Octave selection can be toggled to choose Octave Up or Octave Down.
