the two channels in a kustom are ridiculously useful in a lot of ways...
one of my fav tricks is to do the following... plug your guitar into the low z input of the reverb channel, take the high input and patch a cord to a fuzzbox or whatever, then patch that into the other channel's low input (or high, if you prefer)... then you can dial in how much fuzz you have and make your vintage kustom come to life in a more modern context.
a lot of peeps think the channels were for different instruments etc, but i think bud ross made them like this so you could blend in whatever you like.
i mean... to hear a nice cleanish kustom with that vibratto going and too much reverb, with a fuzz in the other side feeding my echoplex is damn near enough to make some tumescent.
AND ya got one more input jack to play with... and you can use it to jump to another amp. it's pretty hip.
sorry if this suggestion seems sophomoric, but i meet a lot of younger peeps that have no idea you can do stuff like this.
