This is the Coupe to get
when you want more headroom and a wider spread
of sound on stage. The '72 Coupe dishes out 72
watts of complex, harmonically rich tone,
reacting to your most subtle playing techniques.
And when you need more balls, it's so there.
Technically speaking, the '72 Coupe runs on four
6L6 power tubes with a 12AX7 preamp.
Furthermore, it uses a self-biased power amp
design in tandem with a secondary, partially
fixed-bias technique. This produces an amplifier
with the best of both worlds: self-biased
reliability and the increased power and dynamics
of a fixed bias design.
Drawing on its heritage, Kustom teamed up with
U.S. speaker manufacturer Eminence to produce a
new driver exclusively for the Coupe Series. The
result is the KEI™ (Kustom-Eminence Integrated)
Turbo 12™ speaker. With its distinctive aluminum
dust cap, the Turbo 12 is a modern
interpretation of a vintage speaker design that
gives players a taste of the original speaker's
tonal properties, which were great for cleaner
tones, while successfully handling more modern,
high-gain sounds as well.
The '72 Coupe features two channels
(Rhythm/Lead), each with own Master Volume
control which lets users dial in anything from
gritty, medium-gain sounds to scorching, full-on
hard rock tones. Each channel also provides a
Pull-Bright function that, when activated,
tightens up the low-end response for a chunkier,
British-type tone. When not pulled, the tonal
response is fuller and rounder, a more
"American" tone. By the way, the EQ (Bass,
Middle, Treble) reflects pure, vintage Kustom
specifications.
The '72 Coupe also provides an Accutronics
Reverb unit with Tone control (another vintage
Kustom feature) and classic Tremolo and Vibrato
effects. You'll also find a Tube-Driven Effects
Loop, a speaker-emulated Direct Out, a Baltic
Birch cabinet and a 3-function footswitch that
switches channels, turns the effects on or off,
and also activates a 10db overall volume boost
for solos.
The '72 Coupe is a highly tuned amplifier that
sounds as hot as it looks.
For those about to rock...you'll salute
the '72 Coupe.
