OK so I'm now in the field of getting a new head and I'm highly considering either a Krank Krankenstein, Revolution 1 (+) or a Mesa Dual Rectifier. I've owned the Peavey XXL, XXX, JSX and 6505 and I'm looking for something with more clarity, attitude and balls. My Peavey XXX and JSX were pretty good but the 6505 I bought new (3 times) just proved to me that Peavey's current quality is shit. There not by any means bad sounding but I'm ready for something new. Now that I'm off my soapbox, let's get down to business.
• There is a used Krankenstein at my local GC in like-new condition for $999.99 but needs new tubes.
• I can get a used Mesa Dual Rectifier for about $1,200 on ebay and the only one I can try in my area has bad tubes.
• I’ve never seen/tried a Krank Revolution series head.
Anyone have experiences with recording/live situations with any of these heads?
I'm using a Marshall MF280 4x12 cabinet. I have an Epiphone Les Paul Custom with JB/59 and soon I'll have a Gibson Explorer with EMG 81/60.
I would also like to know why so many artists left Krank (ex. Jeff Loomis, Michael Amott) and why so many people talk shit about them all over the net?
Thanks!
