Hi- I just bought a vintage Kustom K-150 8 combo 4x10 and am trying to find the ohm input / output info, It's not listed on the amp. Also, I wanted to know if I could connect it to also play through an exterior cabinet (but don't want to mess it up w/ wrong ohm rating cabinet). Thanks for any info!

The 150 series of Kustom amps wants a 8 ohm speaker load to output its full 75 watts of clean RMS power.

You could hook it up to a 16 ohm load safely, but you will then only have 1/2 of that 75 watts the amp was made to output.

Do not hook it up to a 4 ohm load unless you only play the amp at very low volumes !

Sorry- one more question: is there a specific foot switch that I need to control the reverb / tremolo with this model of amp? I have a vintage one that I use for the K200A-2 amp that I have and it works fine for that but not for this one. Thanks!

The k200 foot switch will work the only question is if it's on / off functions in terms of labling will be reversed.
