Keep in mind, these are starting points to get you up and running with your KG amplifier. Feel free to experiment to achieve your own signature sounds. CLEAN GUITAR These settings are for punchy clean tones that are commonly used in Pop, Country, Alternative and many other genres of music. Use the Rhythm channel with the tone controls set to emphasize brighter sounds. The Bass control should be adjusted to maintain the clarity of the overall tone. Add Reverb to taste. MEDIUM-GAIN GUITAR These settings are appropriate for Rock, Blues or other music styles that require a moderate amount of distortion. Use the Lead channel with the Gain set to its middle ranges. Likewise, keep the Mid control in its middle ranges but increase the amount of Treble to maintain clarity. HIGH-GAIN GUITAR Try these setting ranges when you want to produce the heaviest tones. Notice that the Gain control is cranked up, the amount of Bass is increased and Midrange is reduced for a modern, heavy-music vibe. Experiment by adding a bit of Delay to high-gain solos. kustom.com Kustom® KG112FX Specifications Output Power 20 Watts Equalizer 3 Band Bass MiddleTreble Channels 2 Speaker 1 x 12” 8 Ohm 20W Effects Reverb Delay Inputs/Outputs Aux In Head Phones ...
