Krank amps

[PhilTheBeard]

Im sure there has been a thousand threads on these amps already. but i wanted to know how everyone here felt on these amps. cause i played the old krankenstien and revolution and i thought they both sucked ass. but of course i had nothing to boost them with. but does anyone have any clips or any input on these amps?

 

[Machinated]

the eq takes some learning i think

sometimes i love the amp and other times i struggle with it, really depends on the band.

i also found it much better paired with a mesa cab than any other cab. definitely not bad amps though, they have a pretty good rep round here.

 

[PhilTheBeard]

Yeah see i used the krank cab and i have heard really bad things about krank cabs on other amps. and i love my recto cabs there the best cabs ever. but i was thinking of giving krank another chance and buying one for the studio. which one do you like better?

 

[Machinated]

i have a revolution series one here, never played a krankenstein.

Krank clip

thats a recent clip i did, maxon od808 and mesa cab. sound wise i think of it as somewhere between a 5150 and a rectifier but it kind of has its own thing going on. in the reamp shootout i did, it sounded very similar to the 5150.

 

[PhilTheBeard]

it doesent sound to bad i like it. i wish i could find more clips of just that amp. but as of late of i have loved my fireball a lot

Kranks are notoriously hard to dial in but once you do they're pretty awesome. I prefer an overdrive like an SD-1 or a Catalinbread SCOD in front of 'em instead of a TS.

When I had mine I used a homebuilt cab with two Eminence Man-o-War and two Sunn 60w speakers in an X pattern, shit was killer.

check out shadows are security by aild - thats probably my favourite rev tone.

jens bogren has said he likes krank amps, dave otero has done some cool stuff too with his krankenstein as well as the stuff by lasse and guitarhack

 

[PhilTheBeard]

yeah shadows is my fav tone i have heard so far from a krank

 

[MetalJonesy]

i love the krank tone, but its very hard to dial in on this rev jr to get a really good raw sound, still sounds great after processing, but its very time consuming!!

 

[Metaltastic]

Yeah, Lasse's recent Krankenstein clips sound great, and Guitarhack has produced some awesome ones as well, and Mark, you know of course I like yours as well - I really dig the sound, an incredible grind!

 

[MetalJonesy]

id love to get the bigger brother of the rev jr, and i think id then be alot happier!!!

Listen to this http://www.myspace.com/huntingareabraincounty
The song "cliffs at all ends" is a Krank Rev one through a Mesa 4x12".
It is a nice amp but I sold mine because it wasn´t too much my cup of tea. For metalcore it´s great I think.

 

[Emdprodukt]

got a revolution 1 and a krank cab loaded with v30. still need to find an amp setup I like more than mine! it fucking slays. took some time to get into the sweep knob though.

 

[Metaltastic]

Yeah, forgot about your clips Olli, they kick ass too! (it's just you use stupid Pod Farm too often )

 

[PhilTheBeard]

if any of you guys had a choice between and rev and a krankenstien which would you guys pick

Id be inclined to go for the Rev.

 

[PhilTheBeard]

Id be inclined to go for the Rev.

is the way the structured the gain on the rev better then the krankenstien

I've heard good clips from both, but the Stein has always just struck me as a bit harsher, with more sizzle; that can be cool as hell, but it can also get annoying; honestly, I think you'd be fine going for whichever you can get the better deal on! (or, if you're like me, buying both, testing them back to back extensively, and then selling the one you like less - I did it with re-amp and DI boxes, but Kranks are a little out of my budget! )
