Also regarding my new K50-2
the toggle switch on the back...to turn it on...is a 3-way...the middle is off, but up and down are both - on. Is there a difference? it seems to sound the same regardless of up or down...

any info would be helpful..im new to Kustom amps

Hello. Because of their stock two-prong cord, the three way switch is for polarity. Simply put it in the position that gives you the least buzz. However, probably about everyone here would reccomend converting to a three prong cord as it is simple and perhaps life saving, in addition to making your amp buzz less. You would not need to change out the switch if you do this mod, either on position would have the same effect. Good luck!

P.S.-search the forums for detailed instructions on how to do this, i've done it myself before and I am glad I did.
