As a Krank Rev. owner, like GuitarHack, find it hard to believe that setting is the setting used. I have never put the presence that high. Hell, I've never made it past 2. I'm going to try it when I get home, but I'm almost 100% positive that its going to sound horrible. But I can't knock it til I try it.

he has the sweep knob really really high too, so I feel like there wouldn't be much low end (when I had a Revolution, whenever I cranked the sweep past 12 o'clock the low end would start disappearing)

Tried yesterday with my band, these settings suck, if you turn the bass knob that low, a 5150 will sound just trebly.
ah fuck! I stay with my settings
pre gain 6
Bass 6
Mids 3
High 5.5
post gain 3 or 4

Krank it UP!
Oh yeah, that Sweep setting is the culprit. It is DEFINITELY not useable that high with Pres and Treb set the way they are. For those that don't know, the Sweep actually sets the "Starting point" of the EQ section (Bass, Mid and Treb all included, not just mids). Set at 0, is mega Dark/Bassy and set at 10 is mega Bright/Trebly. Therefore mega Bright/Trebly + High Treb and Pres = Bleeding ears, possibly forever.
Turn that Sweep to 2 (out of 10) and those settings may be useable.
@Kev, believe it or not that was the first thing I thought after posting Chris' "head". I thought "someone's gunna post a pic of his head", just didn't know who.

I kind of gathered as much I would never set the res or presence that low personally and the eq is just wierd.

Maybe those settings just got knocked out while carrying the gear to the stage?
...OR... maybe he uses both heads at once? maybe the one head compliments the other, like the Dual rec - high/low; 5150 = mid

What if he has an EQ in the loop?

Wtf are you on? That doesn't sound far off the tone on the album. Taking into account the fact that it's a shitty video, it's actually probably very close.

Stay calm my friend.
And we speak about "live" tone...the tone on the album is a mix of all the instruments, mixed/processed/mastered by Andy..

I am calm, and I know we're talking about live tone, but you linked to a video where the tone was very close the original cd, and said that it was shitty, that's why I questioned what the hell you were talking about.

BOOSH.
the funny thing is, Andy re-amped the guitars with 2 Dual Rec tracks and 2 Krank Revolution tracks...the Krankenstein wasn't used on Doomsday

I actually got to try the Krankenstein through 2 4 by 12 Krank speakers a couple of weeks ago and I think that it was by far the worst sounding amp I've played ever. Just couldn't get a descent sound from it, everything soundet real fizzy without the mid punch that I get from my ENGL.
I was so dissappointed with it I had to run over to another booth and play some Bogners to balance out the bad sound experience
