Members Mike Honcho Posted November 20, 2007 Members Share Posted November 20, 2007 I want a gorilla tube stack mod???It seems Gorilla must have inundated the market several years ago. I always thought I was the only one who knew about those turd boxes. I played in a band back in the late 80's and the bass player had a Gorilla amp.That thing sounded like a blown stereo speaker that was rewired to accept a guitar signal.Are those amps even made anymore?

Members magh8 Posted November 20, 2007 Members Share Posted November 20, 2007 Oh yes. The JVM I just bought last weekend is a "boat anchor" according to some guy that owned one for 4 days. Or it's a '"piece of {censored} because the pots are connected directly to the pcb". I love those guys.crying about build quality.if you don't want it to break dont drop the FN thing...

Members Zachman Posted November 20, 2007 Members Share Posted November 20, 2007 actually i was being sarcastic to bob's ten thousand dollar gear comment....however i am a little jealous of your collection... guitars??? www.zachpetersen.com Guitars are many, not all of which are photographed, but I do have to make time to do that. With all of the guitars that I have to choose from there are around 40ish Amps to choose from are Fender: Twins, Bandmasters, Super Reverbs, Showmans, Deluxe, Champs, Mesa/Boogie: Rectifiers, MKIII's, MKIV's, Roadsters, Marshalls: SuperLeads, 6100, JCM 800's JCM 900's, Vox AC30's (The old ones), Mojave Peacemaker, Fuchs ODS, etc... What the noob dentist doesn't realize is that I have a sound company's backline at my disposal, in addition to my personal collection. Choices are cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members -=Diz-Tortion=- Posted November 20, 2007 Members Share Posted November 20, 2007 Haven't Krank got the idea yet...."our last amp didnt sell well, so we'll just release another bucket of turd and see how that does!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cobrahead1030 Posted November 20, 2007 Members Share Posted November 20, 2007 if this head is selling around the $500 range like the OP said i think it would be a cool backup/beater amp if it sounds decent i won't bash krank for their product, i just think they cost too much...i've actually hoped for a while now that some less than mint chadwick heads would start hitting the used market so i can get one cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members PurpleStain Posted November 20, 2007 Members Share Posted November 20, 2007 i don't really rag on any amplifier, or any tone. I'm a jack of all trades, and I think there's use for every sound. However, I do have a problem with Krank. Though thier tones have a use, it's nothing I couldn't find out of a Randall at a fraction of the price. That, and they put fake glowing reviews on HC trying to push their product. that's deceptive, and regardless of how good the amplifier sounds, i'm not going to support any company that doesn't have enough faith in the product to let it stand for itself without lying and manipulation.

Members Shask Posted November 20, 2007 Members Share Posted November 20, 2007 Alot of people have played them, and not really liked them. Or, they they sound OK, but should be like 1/2 price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
