EDIT.......

for the fun of it ive posted up a link of the peavey XXL below it (with my standard processing approach of EQ and comp etc) just so you can compare, this clip is done using fredman technique with like 8 tracks of guitars, compared to that krank track of just a L and R, but i think they'll sound great blended!!

Sweep 7.5
Bass 6
Mid 2
Treb 5
Gain 6 (plus krank boost)

very cute i want one too would like to hear it with the boss overdrive too! are they selling the head by itself?

 

[MetalJonesy]

yeah they are selling the heads separate now!!!

 

[Metaltastic]

Fuck yeah dude, can't wait to hear it!

 

[Nebulous]

If they ever sell the head on it's own down here in Oz I think I'll be picking one up. It sounded brutal when I tried it last. Would be great to have as a blend amp for recording, maybe even playing live.

 

[-J-]

I'm surprised Krank didn't make those from the beginning, given Krank started with Tony modding small sovtek heads and slapping a Krank logo on them.

 

[Djabthrash]

Sounds very cool. Nice In Flames riff btw.

 

[Keiffer]

congrats

 

[MetalJonesy]

just uploaded a better version of the original soundclip, with less compression!

Do you have the active effects loop activated? What do you have it set at?

 

[colonel kurtz]

that thing sounds fucking sweet...

i might have to ditch my idea of picking up a used 5150 in favor of the mini krank...

 

[Melb_shredder]

wow! that DID sound really really good, usable for SURE! XD
I would like to hear more

 

[MetalJonesy]

naa the fx loop is off, i dont understand the "active" part of it :-S

yeah for its size its a great studio amp as it can be turned up for its potential and used at a "reasonable" level. but yeah thats a dry track apart from the high and low pass filters

 

[colonel kurtz]

naa the fx loop is off, i dont understand the "active" part of it :-S

basically, the fx loop is tube powered, so turning it on, even if you don't use any fx, will provide more gain

 

[MetalJonesy]

ahh right, just more gain, or more volume? caus i dabbled with it the other day, and i recall it giving a volume increase, i dont really need more gain on the thing! lol

Billy Hydes- try it!

 

[006]

The active fx loop just boosts the *volume* only. Sounds killer. This doesn't help my GAS for one dude...

[colonel kurtz]

well technically, wouldn't increased volume be the result of increased gain in the power section?

 

[MetalJonesy]

well technically, wouldn't increased volume be the result of increased gain in the power section?

yeah it increases the volume of the power section, just tried it and wooooahhhhh, this thing is incredibly loud!!!

 

[Meisterjäger]

That's completely changed my opinion of this little thing! When you were weighing up either the Rev Jr or a 5150, I thought you were mad! I get it now Have you done any recordings with more mids? I'm wondering how angry it sounds with the mids at about 4 o'clock.

Any chance you can give me some size dimensions? I can't find anythin on the interweb, and I think this might look slightly less out of proportion sitting on one of those vertical 2x12's
