5) DI CABINET SELECT When pressed IN, this switch provides a
signal to the Direct Out that emulates the tonality of a Celestion
Vintage 30-loaded Straight-front 4x12 speaker cabinet. When
the switch is OUT, it emulates the same speakers in a Slant-
front 412 cabinet. Kustom went to great lengths to make sure
that this signal sounded like the actual amp head and speaker
cabinet combinations. This was accomplished in a studio envi-
ronment using condenser microphones to analyze the tonality
of the Double Cross when heard at “head level” versus “close
mic’d” directly in front of the speaker. The result is a signal that
reflects the true characteristics of these cabinets as heard by
a player. If you haven’t tried the Double Cross’ Direct Out yet,
we urge you to experiment with it for both live and studio ap-
plications.
6) DIRECT VOLUME This control sets the level of the speaker-
emulated Direct Out, and should be set as high as possible for
the best signal-to-noise ratio.

7) SEND LEVEL This control adjusts the amount of signal that
will be sent out the Effects Send jack, nominally ranging from
-10dBV(0.3VRMS) to about 0dBV(1VRMS). This control should
be adjusted as high as possible to minimize the amount of noise
caused by the inserted effect, but not so high as to distort the
effect used. Since the Effects Loop is a series connected loop,
this control will adjust the overall volume any time the Effects
Loop is active. The Send jack can also be used to send a signal
to a tuner or an auxiliary amplifier when footswitched. For ex-
ample, to A/B between this amp and a second amp (or tuner),
simply insert a shorted 1/4” plug into the Return jack. Then the
Send can switch over to another amp while disengaging this
amp’s output.
