What do you like? I think they fucking rule! We just recorded our debut with a 6505 and a Krank Revolution and the sounds rock!
Krank amps
- Thread starter migreeni
- Start date
We got endorsed, so that ain't much of a problem. It costs pretty much to ship them here in Finland though...

I have a Rev 1 and it rules... it's tight and thick and I just love it. I can hear how it's not for everyone though. speakers seem to make or break it more IMO

Love mine! I prefer the 5150 when jamming with the band, but the Krankenstein sounds amazing under the mic!

I use a Revolution in my live rig, and I love it. I agree with Mood Bender that the speakers make or break it, though (which is also true of any amp, to some extent). I generally run it through my Marshall JCM900 cab and it sounds great, but there was a show where I borrowed another guy's cab to save space for the drive over...it turned out to be a Behringer cab, and it made my tone sound really really terrible. It sounded all nasty and plastic sounding, all the tightness and fullness was gone. Then I plugged into another dude's Mesa cab and used that instead, and it sounded even better than my Marshall...

I'm lost, isn't he talking about the amp? not the cab? If the speakers in the krank cab suck why didn't you get a v30 mesa or orange v30 instead?
PS. I'm awaiting my recently ordered rev1

I think you misunderstand. Aaron was just telling his experiences with his Krank through different cabs, elaborating on the comment about how certain cabs/speakers can make the Kranks sound like shit or sound amazing.

I tried a Krankenstein a couple of weeks ago and I.M.O it's the worst amp I've ever tried.
To qoute a buddy of mine who's a Krank endorser: "They sound tight, but bad", he's got an ENGL behind his stack that he's using instead

All well, hopefully GC has one to try out cause I am curious.

What kind of cabs have you used with them? I have gotten the impression that the Krank's own cabs are the most compatible and sound sweet.

I have three cabs: Ampeg V4, Cobra and Mesa 2x12
Several speakers that I move around: V30, GB, V12, G12T75, GS1275
right now I'm liking my Mesa loaded with a V30 and GS1275. very complimentary speakers

What album(s) do you guys recommend to get a good impression of THE Krank sound? Because all albums I heard where I know they used Krank stuff sounded not too good to me, quite fake and lack of character.
For example, I think Nevermore's DHIADW sounds WAY better then their last album.

I like them both....I think DHIADW sounds slightly more mid rangy, but damn TGE is nicely saturated....I think we can all come to the agreement and conclusion that since both albums had Mesa Recto's....Mesa Recto's are king! lol!

I does sound heavy but there's something I miss, this gritty mid texture. It doesn't roar, it screams.
Cool music by the way
Damn! Nice tone! What kind of settings were used here? I'm getting the Krankstein next month and I can't wait to really beat the shit out of myself with it!
