Tracked the krank a little bit.....

[K Odell]

Figured I would mic it up some before it left the house. Still not real sure on the tone, but anyways check it out. Obviously the track is missing a solo and vocals but oh well haha.

Sweet dude - a little nasally for my tastes, but it's full and ballsy, so I'm sure with a bit more tweaking (that sweep knob must be such a bitch) it could sound even better!

 

[K Odell]

Yeah I can hear it being nasally also. I updated it with a version with a bit more low end bc it seemed like it was lacking a little bit.

EDIT: Ignore the random pop at the beginning.

 

[stteotd]

sounds good to me

 

[_Protoss_]

Very nice Bloodjinn.
Loved the leads ala Devildriver,put some more delay on it

 

[Metaltastic]

Sounds great man, though I'm not sure if I prefer it with the extra low end; might be ever so slightly too woofy on the palm mutes and could fight with the bass once you add it. A pity you're selling this beast, but hey, too late now! I just cry at the thought of you replacing it with a JCM2k, the "squelch" machine as I call it

 

[K Odell]

haha lord Marcus. I love the JCM 2k's. I just love that marshall tone. I need something better for a live situation as well as studio. So far I havent been real impressed with the Krank in a live situation.

 

[AudioPhile777]

sounds pretty good man... i might have to buy it if that local sale doesn't go through... I'm torn between that and a dual recto (3 channel)...

Time for Marcus to come back in hahahahahaha

Haha, fair enough dude, though I think I'd rather have a 2-channel JCM800 (2210, single input) than a JCM2k!

This might help! http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/equipment/449236-krank-vs-mesa.html

EDIT: Hahaha, you guessed it Kyle, though at least I have a thread to link to this time so I don't have to hijack another one of your threads!

 

[Dylan S]

Wow.

I hated the hell out of Kranks before I joined this forum. This is a great sounding clip man. I like that nasally quality to be honest. It still sounds nice and full too.

I can appreciate the want for a JCM2k. I own one and I love it, but I've been considering trading it for a peavey 5150 to compliment my dual recto better.

Man... I just picked up a 3ch Dualie. Ignore the internet rumormill. The 2ch's do sound different, but the 3ch is not bad at all, by any means. You gotta dial the high end in a bit differently and it might have a bit more top end sizzle, but it's got more of a slick sound to it, which really works for a lot of applications.

Plus, the orange and red channels are voiced differently enough to make that variance worth dealing with whatever might ail the 3ch over the 2ch!

 

[Metaltastic]

Yeah, I've heard plenty of awesome clips of the 3-channel Duals to know they can cut it (sorry Kyle, here I go again!), but they all have definitely had a slightly more metallic/"processed" sound to them then my experience with my 2-channel - the best 3-channel clips I've heard have been Misery Signals' "Controller," SYL's "The New Black" (don't know for certain on that one, but I'd wager quite a bit it is), and our own James/TheShred's tone in this thread (compared to what I perceive as a slightly more natural/organic distortion in the 2-channels, e.g. "Dead Heart," and my tone, wooly though it may be from the cab, in this thread)

 

[K Odell]

its fine Marcus for some reason I am reading this as maybe someone is trying to tell me to get a Dual Rec.

 

[GuitarHack]

Really nice solid Krank tone. Care to share details of Cab, Interface/preamp, post EQ, etc...

Cheers.

 

[Felix Neumann]

This sounds pretty awesome for me. Sound -and playing wise. Great harmonics, very good ideas. Are you inspired from some movie soundtracks? It´s addictive, dude.

 

[Kazrog]

Really dig the song, very catchy. Kind of a cross between Soilwork's "Downfall 24" and Killswitch Engage's "Daylight Dies."

The tone and mix are really perfect, no suggestions there. Great stuff!

 

[Ola Englund]

Same here, very nice song and the sounds is solid!

I'd like to know the completeee setup too
Also compare it to the rev+ if you could

 

[K Odell]

Hey guys thanks for the kind words. Its just a 57 thrown on my Mesa Oversized. I think it might even be straight on the speaker bc that sounded best. The mic pre was my Presonus Firebox bc my Firepod went down last week. As for post EQ theres a little boost in the 2.5 area and I cut a little bit in the 300 area to remove some of the boxyness.
