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.
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
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
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
so they basically made the krankenstein not the one dime designed

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