Im in the proces of purchasing a 200 head. The store im purchasing it from says its a 200 watt head, but i had heard elseware that the 200's were all 100 watts. can anyone confirm or deny this?

Im not sure what 200 model this is, its 4 channels, with 16 knobs on the front, gold T&R. If anyone can help me figure out more about this amp, such as suggested ohms, RMS output, or anything else, id be very greatful.

Also did kustom release a 200 PA head? I was thinking this might be a 4 channel PA head in reality...

Thanks for your help!

Ben, the head you describe is a K200-5 and is kustoms PA model. You can tell if it is a K200A or K200B model by looking on bottom of the amp. If there are 5 mounting screws it is a A series, the B series used 4 mounting screws to hold the chassis in place. Another easy way to spot which series is the "A" series would say by Ross Inc. on the front panel.
Both models are 100 watts RMS at a 4 ohm total speaker load. The amp will work fine with either a 8 or 16 ohm speaker cabinet, but the power rating will be lower with a higher ohm speaker cabinet.

Has anyone used one of these heads as a guitar or bass amp? If so how'd it hold up? I was looking for something designed as more of a bass amp, but this might have to do.

thanks!

You'll have a reverb control in each channel as opposed to the bright deep switch found on bass amps. Some bass amps even had and entire bright deep channel as well as the bright deep switch in both channels. Other than that the PA head circuit is about the same as the bass amps. I really like that bright deep switch on deep for bass myself. I don't know how the PA head would sound with out it for bass as I've never tried it. I know the Kustom PA's over all pushed the midrange frequencies more.
