What Our Customers Are Saying About zZounds
"The zZounds payment plan is essential for working musicians on a tight budget―and every working musician is on a tight budget." - customer on February 3rd, 2012
Sound:
Let's see.....can you say "The Almost-Perfect Amp" has arrived? I say almost because I'm a TRUE "vintage" nut. I would have LOVED to see this head wrapped in a vintage tweed covering with a chrome faceplate and maybe gold / brass knobs on it. Other than this one little flaw, this amp is, for lakc of a better word, perfect. It can wail, scream, weep, cry, groan, bark, bite, howl, screech, and just be tame, and quiet whenever you want it to. This is the second head I've had to get because the first one got STOLEN....THAT'S how GOOD this amp is! I've used the Quad200-H Head in the studio, onstage, in church, and at home with just my 4 track, in ALL situations this amp is the new "King".
Feature:
Feature-wise, this amp is in a class all by itself. It has effects that can hewlp you find the sound you hear in your head, (and a few that AREN'T in your head too!) The chorus is not too sharp, and not too mushy, it falls somewhere between vintage and modern sounds, the reverb isn't overbearing as in some amps, the flange is decent as are the other effects within this head. I like the various settings you can get with the channels, the FAT/LEAN selection in the Clean channel is awesome! It gives you the choice of going from a glassy crystal clear *ender tone to a more modern "*arshall type of clean, the Balls and Bigger Balls switch is also a neat feature, giving you even more tonal options that most amps on the market, and it does it all at a price unheard of in the music industry.
Ease of Use:
It's like any other amp out there in this one respect, nothings different at all. All amps come with a power cord, and that's about it.
Quality:
The head is well made, I wouldn't bother with the cabinets though, I'll stick to using my custoim made 2 x 12's and 4 x 12's It's got heft to it so you know it's solid, the knobs / switches don't feel like they were made at the last minute, they feel solid and turn without glitches. I'm in the process of buying yet another one of these, first and foremost to have a replacement should this one get stolen, but to also have a backup that I'm familiar with. So far I haven't had any problems with this amp, and judging from the looks of things, I won't have any trouble in the future either.
Value:
For the price, you WILL NOT find a better deal. If you don;t like solid state amps, if you don't like anything that didn't come from "across the pond" you STILL owe it to yourself to check out these amps, and I don't mean to just strum through them at your local music store, rent one, borrow a friend's, or better yet, BUY one, give it a test run in "The Real World" and then after you've gotten compliments on your tone, the volume, the sheer FORCE of your sound, then and ONLY then can you return it, but I have a sneaky suspicion that you WON'T!
Manufacturer Support:
Never had to use 'em....doesn't that mean they deserve a 10 for making a product that didn't break off the assembly line?
The Wow Factor:
The vintage look they've given it is excellent, I still lament that they don't have a tweed covered "antique" version of this same exact head. It would look awesome both on stage and in the CD sleeve!..LoL!
Overall:
Overall, I would suggest you go find your local retailer, and get a hold of one of these before Kustom decides to stop making 'em! They're the best of everything you ever wanted in an amp. And after they're "gone" (Discontinued By The Manufacturer) I can almost GUARANTEE they'll be sold for prices a LOT higher than what it's going for here & now.

"Pack Your Bag's! We're Going to Africa!!!!!"
Sound:
i've owned Marshell, Line6, mesa, randall, ibanez, and nothing even touches this amp! This amp is AMAZING. It is so loud. I can't turn it up past half way or my house'll collapse. That's not to mention the incredible tone. It has so much low end! This thing can really growl! The clear and the distortion channels both have amazing distintion even at high volumes. I used to love my mesa triple rectifier (all tube) untill i got this thing. i own the full stack version of this. i'll never go back to tube again.
Feature:
It is loaded with usefull features, but i use a boss gt8 so anything that needs to be added it removed, i do through that. However the lineout on the front comes in handy for large gigs. Just plug right into the system!
Quality:
this thing ain't gonna break if i throw it off the stage! Built like a bolder!
Value:
i paid around $4,000 for my mesa full stack. This thing sounds better than it and it was only $900
Manufacturer Support:
Best... support... ever! I havn't had to use it so i give it a ten.
The Wow Factor:
This amp is so sexy! It's completely Vintage! It's got the retro, sortof 'Hemp cloth' front with white trim! This thing will attract grade "A" groupies!
Overall:
Can't say enough about this amp. I am so thrilled to own something so affordable, durable, sexy, and loud, but most of all an amp that sounds so awsome! I wanna shout out to Kustom for making this available to us. Thanks Kustom!
