Here we have a very rare and sought after Kustom K200B-4 with reverb, tremelo, and bright switch on the left channel and selective boost, boost volume, harmonic clipper and bright switch on the right channel. The harmonic clipper distortion is what John Fogerty used on Suzy Q and many other Credence hits! It is in fantastic cosmetic condition and sounds great with 100 watts of power. It puts out a beautiful and powerful clean sound and sounds like a tube amp. Listen to Creedence and that's what these amps can do. He used a K200 A-4 model where all effects could be played together but on the "B" series the effects are separated on left and right channels. The way to get Fogertys sound with this is to use outboard tremelo and reverb pedals and plug into the right channel with boost and clipper and you got it! The A-4 models are all grabbed up by collectors and are impossible to find and were deemed way more unstable and unreliable than the "B" series. Again these are very rare because production of this model was very low. These old Kustoms can benefit from a cap job but this one has been pretty darn reliable so far. You are not going to see another one in any condition and this one is a knockout! Very well taken care of! It is 4 ohm out but sounds great at 8 ohms too. It's been upgraded with a grounded cord also. It come with a vinyl perfect fitting amp cover. Don't tarry on this one if you love Fogerty's tone! No mods except the grounded cord.
