Members danbronson Posted November 17, 2007 Members Share Posted November 17, 2007 Sounded good. I'm not blown away. It's definitely not a tone I would want personally. Best Krank tone I've ever heard was As I Lay Dying's live tone (they were boosting with 808s I believe). If you've got a brain, a mic and a mixing board with parametric EQ, you can get a decent sound out of basically anything. Perhaps I should record my Fender Mini Twin...

Members Locky Posted November 17, 2007 Members Share Posted November 17, 2007 Upon listening to it through a better system I think I like it less. The tone is very hollow. It sounds like a scooped Mesa with lower low mids. I like the highs a tad more then a scooped Recto though. Definately has a randall vibe going on.

Members riffy Posted November 17, 2007 Members Share Posted November 17, 2007 I didn't dig it. Playing was good, but the amp sounded gainy with a lot of harsh harmonics, like a lot of old randall solid-state amps. It was a bit "washed out" too, as if the amp was trying to cover the whole sonic spectrum, meaning it would get lost in a mix.I can see it being useful for some applications, but defiantly not my thing.-W That was in a mix, at least so I though:poke:I don't like the sound of the amp but I did however,like the tuneage and song.

Members Mr. Brady Posted November 17, 2007 Members Share Posted November 17, 2007 The playing was good. The tone, not so much. Fizzy and solid state like. Exactly why I don't like em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Chrisjd Posted November 17, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 17, 2007 I though that was pretty damn good if you ask me. Those were the Texas Heats? Hmm. Yup, texas heats. My other guitar player plays the same setup and his rig crushes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chrisjd Posted November 17, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 17, 2007 that clip sounds sick. im not sure what there is not to like about that tone? My thought exactly. other people just hear things that we don't i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members riffy Posted November 17, 2007 Members Share Posted November 17, 2007 i guess its still the cool thing to be a krank hater around here In my case and quite a few others I am sure it has nothing to do with "Krank hating". I personally just don't dig the tone. Nothing more nothing less. I like Rectos. Lots of people don't. There have been a lot of Recto clips that I have hated the tone on too, so it is simply a matter of hating the tone, not the amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, I think the tone is pretty good. One thing I noticed is that, for the musical style, the gain isn't overly saturated, so I can still hear some nuances in the playing. But since I'm not the target audience for the amp, I appreciated the playing itself more than the tone. Nice articulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FWAxeIbanez Posted November 17, 2007 Members Share Posted November 17, 2007 I just feel they are not worth the pricetag???I'd rather own a B52at And that's the main reoccurring theme. If this was priced to compete with a "fitty", more people would be picking them up, and you'd hear less bitching. I'm fairly convinced that the street price is just there to make everyone who got one on a sponsorship deal happy. I don't know anyone who paid full asking price for this thing, and I've shared a stage with plenty of them. If it was under a grand new, you could justify why it's such a one trick pony. Unfortunately most people here are looking at the one trick this pony can do, and they are wondering why it costs so much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Rindgecore Posted November 17, 2007 Members Share Posted November 17, 2007 Honestly, it's the playing that's making the amp sound that good. It sounds good, just not HOLY CARP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NeloAngelo Posted November 17, 2007 Members Share Posted November 17, 2007 it sounds good but you can get the same sound out of an amp about half the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JesterRace51 Posted November 18, 2007 Members Share Posted November 18, 2007 +1 too flubby for me. +1, definitely flubby on the palm mutes. I like tight palm mutes, in the style of a 5150. Don't get me wrong, it's a great tone. But I can probably come close to that with my valveking, with an EQ and a clean boost. And that's 1/4 of the price of that Krank.
