Krank Revolution vs. Krankenstein...

[Maximusgordon 2.0]

I have played the Krank Revolution and i think it may be the best modern style heavy rock and metal amp. Especially the rythmn sounds, nice clean channel too. The lead sound is very nice, the only "problem" is the sustain isnt quite as good as say a Bogner, still excellent overall. Anyways, apparently the Krankenstein is a "hot-rodded" Revolution? How is it different sounding? Are the changes subtle or are they truly different beasts?

The only thing I know is that the Krankenstein was specially made for Dimebag Darrell's purposes. But other than that, I have a question for you...where did you try a Krank Amp? What store?

Hey, good to see somebody else keeping the faith .

Generally, the krankenstien is really just a revolution with a tad more gain and an overall master volume control from what I hear. IMO The revolution 1 has enough gain as it is, but you cant always please everybody.

I loaded up my Revolution 1 with JJ/tesla 6l6GC's and that made it sound even better, I thought the stock sovtek 5881's gave the amp an overall grainy character. The JJ's really smooth it out. Its a truely dominating heavy guitar amp, but what I really love about it is it can do so much more than just that.
