Krank out the Jam

[Dimekirk]

Awesome!

I´m reading in your description that you are using a G Major. Can you switch the channels of the amp with it and use effects at the same time like you can with MIDI or not? And if yes, how?

[murfguitar2000]

Sheesh. That amp does sound clear as a bell.  Really nice tone.

[ZOMB13]

Dream rig right here.

[JohnathenDavis]

Is the distortion in a Krank amp worth it's money?

[BreathlessCause]

anybody know how a rectifier sounds through those marshall ax.

[Generak777]

Amazing tone! This video should have 5 stars!!

[wooowmeato]

i've got a krankenstein on a mesa and les paul

has a very powerful sound if u ask me.

this guy has a great tone tho

[Hiatt1991]

HEY MAN! ME AND YOU HAVE THE SAME KRANK! White tolex and chrome grille. Now all we have to do is find the matching cab in white tolex. hahah thats gunna be a B%#$!

[amarr1]

[flyfish777]

[ducky811]

Amazing tone from you and your JEM. You have just the most awesome list of equipment. Sounds killer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[llAkuTsUll]

fuck !! this guy has a great tone in a krank Im shocking !!

[glassprisoner417]

hey bud, what kind of speakers do you have in that cabinet, because they don't strike me as eminence

[darkaegis1]

well it is a marshall cab so they're probably celestions

[baz0k]

G12m "Greenbacks"i think

[wooowmeato]

yes g12m

[pickshredder666]

AMAZING TONE!!! what are your settings? im trying to find setting i like with my Rev but its kinda hard haha.

are you running your wah through the effects loop or straight into the input?

[fighterx]

man great rig and amazing guitar. you tone is outstanding.

[LPFan3118]

Nice tone!

[krankfreak]

Check out the Krank amps facebook for all kinds of demos,reviews and pics..

[MarksDeans]

thats was awesome, great playing

[bazbonehead]

they actually used mesa mark iv's re-wired to be purely pre amps, which where when then fed into mesa 100w power amps, and played through speakers in specialised sound coffins. bit too complicated for me!

[mjdeben1]

What king of effects are you using???

[TriviumCrusader17]

nice tone...

[SunlessSkyGuitar]

Interesting combination. A Vai guitar with a Krank amp. Gotta say, it sounds mighty sweet.

[Drillsback]

Lovely tone

[AgressivePerfector]

now thats a nice jem

[savant416]

dude that sounds cool and all but play a fucking chord!

[Dimekirk]

Sweet sound. Krank amps own, don´t you agree?

[chrismahaffey6666]

yes i do. but this guy cant play for shit

[wammbarro]

dont you ever play rhythm stuff?

[dimebagriffs]

sounds killer but would probably sound better if you ditched the marshall cab, other than that, it sounds kill :D

[PooPoo2U]

the marshall cab is probably the only thing stopping it from sounding like crap

[Relayer1968]

ya, fuck you Dimeriffs - Marshall is the best shit on the planet

[PooPoo2U]

ah, i wouldn't really go that far. i've owned randalls, fenders, marshalls, engls, h&ks, and to be honest, i'd say the tone of orange and vox amps are probably the best-sounding and most versatile

[k11c42]

..... m8 u either aint played a krank or have been brainwashed by media hype over marshall .... they used to be gd .... now they suck ... krank RULE!!

[Relayer1968]

well ofcourse new marshall sucks, but if you listen to the godly old metallica albums; those are original marshall combos and heads

[wazzawazza]

but didnt they have to get em modded before they sounded good

[pgallagher61592]

no

they always sounded good

everyone has a different distinct tone and if they had to get their amps modded to do that then they would

[CoC350]

You're actually wrong. From the first album and sense then on they've used modified Marshalls.

[pgallagher61592]

if your going to tell me a 1960's marshall sounds bad without any mods then you obviously dont know much about them

[Chacoop]

Metallica? They've played Mesa Boogie for forever.

[Wang0Phat]

On Kill 'Em All, they used James' modified Marshall amplifier. On Ride the Lightning they also used Marshall amps. On Master of Puppets and ...And Justice For All they used Mesa/Boogie Mark IIc + amplifiers with a Marshall poweramp, on 'Metallica', they used Mark IVs with Mesa/Boogie poweramps, on Load and Reload, they used Mesa/Boogie Triaxis preamps and Mesa/Boogie poweramps.

[Chacoop]

This man is made of win.

[Wang0Phat]

Who me?

[Chacoop]

haha yeah, just thanks for clarifying.

[Wang0Phat]

Oh, no problem!

[rustycj7]

I've also heard during the and justice for all tour they used Mesa studio preamps... which is basically a Mark IIc+

[paintsuxs]

james hetfield uses krank now

[DeathPenguin1000]

Woah! Are you serious I never knew that. Hmmm interesting...

[expensivepig]

just for recording

[425V8]

Krank is a PART of his tone. He still uses Mesa rectifiers, Mark IIC+ and all that...he just uses the krankenstein in his mix sometimes.

[425V8]

@Wang0Phat

Their rig is pretty crazy. Certain songs had mesa studio/quad preamp, ada preamps...kirk used a bradshaw power amp and marshalls for one album. Hetfield even gigs with two diezel vh4s these days

[Wang0Phat]

@425V8 The studio and quad preamps were only used on AJFA and after. Prior to AJFA they had used Mesa/Boogies slaved into Marshall amps (to use the power section) and just straight up Marshalls like I mentioned in my prior post. I don't really remember all too well (I'm not that big into Metallica anymore that post was from 3 years ago LOL) but I believe those preamps (Including the ADA MP-1) were mostly used for lead tones.

AFTER AJFA & the black album they went really CRAZY with gear! haha

[snapascrew]

revolutioin better then which head- hughes and kettner triamp?, diezel herbert?

[EngageTheKnot]

neither. triamp cant be messed with and herbert is almost as good as triamp. the herbert has a constant scooped sound tho....its just what it does lol. but the triamp is def the best amplifier you can buy. i play a 6505+ and thats just me. I waited 6 months totry my revolution....i already told you what i play so i neednot fill you in.

[Sagitarius54]

Look into an ENGL SE

[edwardsforest]

fckin sick rig
