It's 5-Watts, Affordable, and Simple! But is it Good?
This is a pros and cons review of the Kustom Defender 5HMOD (Hot Mod) 5-Watt Tube Amplifier and matching Kustom Defender 1x12 cabinet. Is this the best 5-watt tube amplifier for home players? Let's test it out! The Kustom Defender 5HMOD is a great clean platform for pedals at lower volumes and it sounds great when pushed on the volume control. The Kustom Hot Mod 5HMOD features an EL84 power section and 12AX7 tube preamp.
