so it looks like Kustom is going to make a new 5w el84 head

http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/prod ... sku=423624

for $99

lunchbox metal style, pretty bone simple, not pretty, but not ugly either.

Im gonna be in the market for a gigging amp, and 5w is too small, but im thinking of maybe ordering two to run in stereo. I have a 4x10 cab id convert to stereo use so each head would be hitting 2x10 speakers

Also, maybe because of the super simple design and chassis, I'd maybe make modded versions? I mean analogman and keeley sell modded pedals, i should do modded amps.

This emergence of quality small heads is amazing. I'm stuck however. I play loud music and need my Mig-50, however, I want one of these small heads so bad. My head is fairly small, but a Dual Tiny Terror or one of these would be so fun.

Yeah I was interested in the Tubescreamer amp because its 6v6 powered...... but ultimately id kind rather have two of these Kustoms to run stereo for $100 less. I personally don't think they are ugly, just a bit utilitarian wich is ok with me

I hear ya. Having two to run stereo could be really awesome (& cheap!), just think what a simple paint job could do :thumb:
