Well, the pedal arrived today.
First impressions are that it is very well built, has a very low noise floor, has a very interactive and versatile EQ section
and ....... completely blows away every other highish gain pedal I've played so far, which includes, the HT Dual, HT Dist, Mesa V-Twin, CrunchBox, SPF Red Threat, and a load of others I've played in shops and forgotten their names.
It is just so articulate and tight, yet you can still get both mid-scooped and more vintage mid-heavy tones. THe EQ really is stupidly versatile. Sounds equally nice doing tight rhythm riffs and soloing. Loves being boosted by a TS too.
I'm really loving it at the moment. COmparing it with the Tube Zone, i currently have on med-high gain duty on my board at the moment, the Krank is several leagues above it in clarity and overall tone.
just a "heads up" to everybody really. Well worth trying out !!

Congrats, that sounds great!
I think HighGain is where most pedals fail and I have yet to hear a good one that does that thing where harmonics jump out at you without hurting your ears or mushing up chord definition. Actually most heads fail as well :O)
Ok, now let's wait another 3-4 weeks before you give your proper judgement, shall we? ;)

I bet you sell it within 3 months ;) :lol:

I completely agree with you !
I'll live with this a couple of weeks (will be gigging it next saturday) and see if I still feel the same.

Ye of little faith !

We've got reputations to uphold! I buy guitars, you buy amps and pedals!
:lol:
(Although obviously you're modding amps now.....)

Awesome!
Hope it works out well for you.
I live close to the Krank plant and have a few friends that work there. First class customer service, they really are a bunch of good guys.

That's very true!Also,my pedals sound so different when i change the valves in my amp or when i use another amp or another guitar.It can be awful with one guitar and perfect (almost.. :?,it's never perfect!) with another...Btw,the Krank Dis.Max.,is it expensive?
-
I just heard some samples on YouTube and it sounds bloody great! And that's YouTube quality!
-
Btw,the Krank Dis.Max.,is it expensive?
Yes, it is quite pricey. I got if for £139 plus postage.
