  • so they basically made the krankenstein not the one dime designed

  • Any amp company can get massive distortion out of their amp. The true art, is getting an incredible clean tone. The cleans on these two amps is tremendous. Very reminiscent of the old Dual Recto MkI clean channel. The 6550's (just like the coke-bottle-sized KT88's) allow for even more headroom and bottom end then the standard 6L6.

    Personally, I prefer the Rev...

  • the first amp hes playin is the rev plus or? this sound is nuts dude!

  • my personal opinion, if dime was still alive, he would be the ONLY person i would use to demonstrate ANY Krank amp. I'd fly his ass to the other side of the fucking world to demo that shit

  • The meaning of Krank in German is "SICK'

    KRANK IS SICKKKKK!

  • KRANK means "SICK" in German.

    KRANK IS SICK! \m/

  • And a Hospital in Germany calls Krankenhaus. ^^

  • In Germany means Krank, that you are ill.

  • that thing is insane... perfect sound :D

  • Right on Dude .. Thats Chunky .. Haha

  • Kranks kick ass!

  • I got a Krankenstein plus running the dime cab with the texas heats, any one that is thinking about getting this set up, all i can say is just do it, you will never regret it.

    The stein and its matched cab is truley amazing, but my one tip is to go for the chrome grill on the head and the cab, it takes the package to a whole new level of wicked cool

  • on the krank forum, we like to paint the speaker board red to match the Rev or green to match the Stein, one guy has his white to go with the toltex on his and i have my Rev Jr cab with a purple backboard

    it really makes the speakers pop out and looks really bad ass

  • I totally want to buy one of those used and then pimp it out

  • Everyone I know loves their Krank. I don't believe you own one .If you do you must not know how to play or dial it in, Kranks rule!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Sounds smoother then the predecessor

  • RITE ON DUDE THATS CHUNKEY!!

  • What do that have in order to play the different heads through 1 cab?

  • there is a pedal dont know the name though

  • Additionally my sound differs from this posted in video, Mine is more open, agressive, kinda punchy 5150 style - try it with different setups you will get amazed, btw frien of mine has Mesa DR in rehearsal room, its also great amp, but not as clear and tight as Rev+ You dont get too much highs you just need to learn how to use knobs well :) Im one of not many users having this amp in Poland and my friends get eyesbrow rise in excitement when they hear my Rev+

  • Those who bash those amp really got no idea what are they talkin about. All I hear is only Marschall is best, Mesa is best etc... Have you ever sit at this amp and tried it with different cab, guitar? Im sure not, whats more, you got no idea how touchy is Sweep knob, it takes just a bit to change whole sound of amp with one single touch of it. And Im not from States, it was really difficult to get any good review of it in Europe before i bought. Now Im happy i got sound between JCM800 and 5150.

  • Fuck Krank.

    They sound like ass unless you have the master volume on at least 5.

    And even then, it's way too trebley/middy. Cuts through everything.

    Leads sound like shit on Kranks. That's the only way to put it.

    If you are playing deathcore and stuff and don't play past the top 3 strings, then this amp will satisfy you (playing at only loud volumes) but if you are a lead guitarist, do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.

    Not only that, but the dirty channel has this really hollow sound to it.

  • and the reason they had to change transformers was because the other ones kept fuckin up.

  • And what amps do you like? Maybe some tiny Yamahas that work by batterys?

  • wait... why do you buy an amp that sucks oO???

  • it's 6505 idiot

  • i don't like the clean sound.

  • marshall silver jubilee kicks the shit outa these no problem

  • marshall jubilees are not high gain amps though

  • you CANNOT compare a boutique amp to a mass-produced amp PERIOD. It's better to get an original than a clone.

  • Krank sound just as good or better than a Soldano for half the price.

  • Kranks are just watered down versions of Soldanos. hmmmm... lets see: bigger tubes, bigger transformers, eminence legend speakers & metal front grill. Sounds like a Soldano to me.

  • I agree with ya the clean channel sucks ,I just got a regular krank head.The clean channel is like a super soaker water gun on a Bradley tank but I got it only for the distortion.

  • nice analogy

  • I'd go with the Krankenstein plus.

  • which is better krankenstein or krankenstein+?

  • krankenstein plus for sure!

  • well then which is better

    krankenstein cab or rev cab? lol

  • All of Kranks clean channels suck ass.

  • Fuck you

  • Very mature. I'm sorry your so mentally constipated you can't formulate an intellectual response.

  • You must be new to guitar amps. Don't worry, you'll learn more as you go. lol

  • You are correct. It's not a shock though. These amps were not built for their crisp cleans. They are for pure dirtiness!

    The other guys response is obviously because he's disappointed with his purchase and wanted reassurance he wasn't wrong. lol

  • That's true. But they're certainly designed for a specific type of distortion, they would probably do better as a company if their amps were more versatile.

  • 6L6..erm.. haha

  • im amazed everytime i watch this vid!!!!

    a high gain tight&clear tone with only a telecaster alike guitar???

    krank rules.

  • Mako amps and Riveras will fucking rape the shitty Kranks any day of the week.

  • haha the krankenstein clean sounds like a solid state MG.

  • how would a krankenstein+ or the rev+ sound with a marshall mg412 cab?

  • you wouldn't get the same sound as you would with a krank cabinet. that goes with any amp and their cabs.

  • What kind of music do you play. Metal= KRANKENSTEIN, ROCK/COUNTRY/POP= REV

  • wrong. rock/country/pop=chadwick

  • Kankenstein+

    Revoloution+

    I dont know which one to get?

    You guys have any ideas?

  • could you guys please upload this vid again?

  • ='( the video doesn't work, and I really wanted to see it.

  • OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!

    the clean sounds are sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

    the high gain channel is beyond my dreams!!!

    no need to some huge racks!!!

    KRANKENSTEIN RULES!!!!!!!!!

  • enemis speakers haha

  • I wish this video would work.

  • So I was also interested in getting a new amp and I think this is gonna be it. I was looking at the new Diamond Nitrox and its clean channel sounds horrible and the high gain channel doesn't sound as clear as this krank plus. Dude krank effing plus is soo sick!

  • Really nice amp! (regarding the Rev1+). I already knew the incredible sound of the Krank channel but I have to admit the Kleen channel too is really sweet.

    The Kleen channel of the Krankestein still stinks...

  • Its not working :,(

  • seems to me like only certain areas can view it, maybe a server error or something?

  • What's wrong with this vid?

  • WOW those sound amazing. definitely need one

  • dude these sound so much better im trading my krank for the upgrades

  • yes, did not work

  • Hey folks-- this video wasn't working at first but then suddenly it was. 1,200+ people have seen it, so far. Sounds like there are still issues, though -- if so, we'll scratch it and re-upload so everyone can check out these beefed up Kranks.

  • it dosnt work. try to delete it and re upload it
