FCC Statements

1. Caution: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for

compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

2. Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital de-

vice, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection

against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radi-

ate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause

harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not

occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television

reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try

to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is con-

nected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Congratulations. You are now the owner of a world-class, all-tube,

3-channel guitar head. The Double Cross represents countless

hours of development in pursuit of tone and performance intended

to elevate the art of high-gain amplification to the next level. Learn

its controls and capabilities and be sure to experiment, as that’s the

best way to understand the amplifier and develop your own signa-

ture sounds. All of us at Kustom say “Thank You” for your purchase.

Welcome to the Kustom family!

Safety Information

1) NORMAL This 1/4-inch input provides full tonal response and

offers the same amount of gain as the Tight input.

2) TIGHT This 1/4-inch input “tightens” the attack response of

the entire amplifier to provide the chunkiest tone possible. It of-

fers the same amount of gain as the Normal input.

3) CHANNEL SELECTOR SWITCH This switch allows the user to

manually select the Rhythm, Lead I or Lead II channels. If the

Footswitch is plugged in, this front panel switch overrides the

Footswitch (Boost and Effects remain controllable by Footswitch).

When using the footswitch, set Channel Selector to “Footswitch”

position.

4) LEAD I These six controls plus the Cross and its four switches pro-

vide complete control over the tone, gain and attack characteristics

as well as the overall loudness of the Lead I channel.

5) RHYTHM These six controls and two switches control the tone,

gain and attack characteristics as well as the overall loudness of the

Rhythm Channel.

6) LEAD II These six controls plus the Cross and its four switches

provide complete control over the tone, gain and attack characteris-

tics as well as the overall loudness of the Lead II channel.

7) EFFECTS INDICATOR When lit, this indicates that the Effects Loop

is active.

8) BOOST INDICATOR When lit, this indicates that the Boost func-

tion is active.

9) BOOST CONTROL This adjusts the amount of footswitchable

boost and is particularly useful for solos. It provides up to 10dB

of “Master Volume” boost, regardless of which channel is active.

The boost is active if the footswitch is unplugged. The Boost oc-

curs after the effects loop, so no adjustment of your effects will be

neccessary.

10) MASTER This is a global master volume control which sets the

overall loudness of the entire amplifier. The Master is also after the

effects loop.

11) JEWELED PILOT LIGHT Indicates that the amplifier’s power

switch is in the “On” position.

12) STANDBY This allows the amplifier to be powered up, but with

the tubes in a non-operational mode. The Standby can be used in-

stead of the power switch between performance sets, since it allows

the amp to “shut down” while keeping the tubes warm and ready to

go. It’s also best to power the amp up with this switch set to the

left/off position until the tubes have had a few minutes to warm up,

although modern tubes are more tolerant of this.

13) POWER Provides AC power to the amplifier when in the “On”

position—switched to the right.
