My son says if you are just using it for around home and don't plan on recording or playing shows it should be fine. Comparable to Behrings.

ummm no, you would need a speaker cabinet to play that amp.  Way to much work/effort for you.  Find a Fender or Marshall combo and you will be good...

Kustom's sound like shit too.

Try this out: http://www.fender.com/products/search.php?partno=2318500000

They also have a 15 watt version too. I'm a Fender lover, so Phil and Sylvan can kiss my ass. Get a warranty too, Fender input jacks love to break, I hardwired all of mine.

Actually, my next amp will be a Tech21 combo. I love the way they sound direct to board.

Oh... it's not for me, I just bumbled across the listing looking for printers. :)

I used to have the 60 watt version of that amp. Brian
you don't know Kustoms. The amp I had sounded the balls
until it burned up. It had the coolest blue metal flake padding
instead of that dull black. I still miss that amp. I don't know
anything about the Kustoms being made today, but mine
was truely badass.

I've just heard the solid state ones. How do you like your Carvin?

Vlean is awesome, but the built in overdrive is lame. I have to use a pedal to make it sound right. Very loud too. :supz:

Phil and Brian can BOTH kiss my man-hammer. I had a Kustom as one of my first amps and (as long as you cranked it to 11) it sounded pretty damn good. Personally, I recommend you get a Musician's Friend catalog(ue) and shop from that. (Hell, I've ordered a Dunlop Wah as well as a Behringer Ultra-G DI box in the last hour).
