Ummm…Ok, kiddies…. Reality check for you Fantasy Island inhabitants…
krank started endorsing a bunch of bands i know
“The basic requirements for endorsement deals are that the band/artist is either signed to a legitimate label with major distribution or is a regional unsigned artist that plays a minimum of 150 shows per year and is very active promoting themselves in their region”
Krank doesn’t go about handing out amps like candy. Endorsement deals consist of “artist pricing”. Everyone buys their amps, I know of no one who has gotten free amps. They are a small company and are completely buried in orders.
a bunch of bands i know of in the uk
Define “bunch”. Do you mean, like, two?
Names?
all those bands sold off all their amps
“ALL” ?? ALL?? Really? So, like three ‘stein heads?
listened to them live …….. the krankenstein ive heard
So you heard a Krankenstein once. What were the settings like? I have to tell you, it’s not my personal favorite, but it can be set to sound very close to a Rev.
So what do you think of the Rev+? Chadwick? SST? RevJR50?
Surely out of those hundreds of free heads that Krank has been tossing about to all your friends, they were not all Krankensteins were they? Hmm?
i thought it had a fair bit of noise to it
Now this is really interesting to me because my own experience, as well as a few other artists that I’ve talked to. We find it no longer necessary to run a noise gate because of the extreme quietness of our Krank heads. I’m really curious to what was in the loop, his setup, etc. because this is the first time I’ve heard a comment about noise. My Rev is the most noiseless head I’ve ever used.
but as soon as you stick them with a band, they dont cut through at all
Again, this is very bizarre to me because this statement is completely opposite from what I’ve been hearing from sound engineers, recording engineers, and just about anybody else I trust for feedback on how the performance was, regarding my own rig. The last couple of years with my Rev have been awesome, definitely many people who have heard my “before” and “after” have had nothing but positive comments on how clear everything is and how they can hear notes and chords and riffs that were lost in the mix. Weird.
They get awesome reviews in mags but seem to get slaughtered on forums….
Wow. Strange that over half of the guys on the Krank forum are from the UK and Europe, and they just rave over their Krank amps and support. Lots of guys on Rig-Talk , TGP have had really positive experiences as well. Surely you don’t mean the tweeners on Harmony Central?? HAhahahaha LOLOLLOL!!!1!!
Look at me! I’m going to buy an amp based on what somebody said on HC!!
…and in person most of the time.
Well. The real issue is, your slander is absolutely false and has nothing to do with Krank amps.
It is me. You so despise me that you are determined to come into any thread I post and give me cr@p. It’s a shame really, because the Krank crew is a great bunch of guys, the best customer service ever.
