Good day,
I am considering buying a Kustom amp and cab near me. I haven't seen it in person but the head is blue roll and pleat it has 7 knobs and two fuses in the lower right corner of the panel. It has four inputs and says by Ross Inc on the panel. The cabinet is in matching blue but is not roll and pleated but partially tufted. It has three chrome vent vertically on the right front of the cab.
Any identification or thoughts are appreciated.

The 795 is a PA head ( reverb on one channel) but can be used for guitar or bass.

That cabinet is a Plush, not a Kustom.

Those plush amps where tube copy's of a Fender Twin reverb and the speakers in it if original should be 8 ohms wired in parallel for the 4 ohm load the Kustom will work best with.

Those early Kustom's had no electronic output stage protection other then the 5 amp fuse on the front panel.

For added safety if your not going to be playing the amp loud then I would change that fuse out for a 3 amp fast blow type as the 5 amp one is, or should be I should say,

Thank you for the information . That the cabinet is a plush makes sense for sure. Looks like they used the exact blue sparkle vinyl.
Appreciate the expertise and speedy reply.
