Kustom GROOVE 115C offers clear, punchy, and detailed sound. Thanks to its capabilities and wide range of features, it can be useful for various applications. It provides enhanced EQ due to the SUB control which adds bottom end to your tone, while the SHIFT, and DEFINE knobs work together to help you dial in a wide range of midrange sounds. You can also use the 3-band EQ with ±12dB of boost or cut for further tone shaping. SOLO and MUTE footswitches allow you to engage these functions remotely.
