krank rev jr

[MetalJonesy]

i know we've had discussions about this amp on the forum before, but has anyone got one? im tempted at picking one of these up (either the rev jr, or rev jr pro) as i noticed on the krank site, and a cpl of uk stores the heads are now being sold separatly

think its £399 for the rev jr (£599 wen you get it with the cab)

so i could scrap my idea of getting the peavey 6505 and getting both the rev jr and orange tiny terror for about the same price!

I'm still GAS'ing really bad for a Rev Jr., I say get one and be different

I am loving my Rev Jr. so far. I think I'm going to sell the cab however.

 

[MetalJonesy]

id like to know how it tonally compares to its bigger brother i think, as im not gnna be able to give it a test run so if im spending £400 on an amp, id want it to be at least something id be familiar with

The Rev MK1 daddy would be the ideal choice but for 1/3 of the price if this little bastard sounds pretty good then its no doubt a good purchase!

FULLMETAL: Dude, please show me some clips of that little bastard! I'm seriously in love with it from the other clips I have heard. I want to hear more though

I'll try to get something up this weekend. I'm in the middle of moving. I should have my setup back up and running by Saturday

great stuff, could i please ask for a line out signal from the preamp please? just so i can run it thru my current poweramp/cab setup to get an idea of how it would sound through my rig.

OK here's a quick one I smashed together.....shhh I'm supposed to be carrying boxes upstairs

very niceee, very warm sounding indeed, really got sum balls!

 

[Jaymz]

Got a Pantera esque sound there

Was that through the Krank 1x12 or another cab? Guitar/pups/mic/etc., gotta share the details

Schecter C1 Hellraiser =>EMG81=>BOSS SD-1=>Rev Jr=>Avatar 2X12 v30 cab=>Audix i5
The 1x12 that came with it is lame IMHO.

Sweep:8
Bass: 6
Mid: 3.5
High: 3.5
Gain: 5 (boost button engaged)
Active effects loop level: 7

 

[FULLMETALSPEEDO]

I actually prefer the SD-1 over the OD808 with this amp due to the massive low end and lack of resonance controls. It helps tame the farting that can occur.

 

[MetalJonesy]

dude when you get settled in could you get a recording of just the line out signal with that same chain (guitar, boss and krank)?? and send it via email in mp3?

 

[FULLMETALSPEEDO]

I Can do it in wav or mp3 whichever you prefer.

 

[006]

Haha, I was going to ask the same thing! Want to see how it sounds through my Bugera and Dual Recto's power section and into my Mesa 4x12.

I'm pretty much set on the Rev Jr. being the next "big" purchase I make, definitely the next amp purchase. Dunno if I should get the Standard or Pro, though since the Pro has an EQ for the Kleen channel. Then again this will most likely remain a studio amp anyway...

[FULLMETALSPEEDO]

PM me your emails and I can send you that sound clip from above tonight possibly.

Godammit, now I'm between a Rev Jr. or an Engl e530...
