I was not impressed with the few I ever heard. I didn't look at the dimebag thing as being "exciting" either because I don't really think that he had a "tone" - more like a harsh sound. here in the tampa area (dean HQ) there were a lot of guys that were playing kranks all of a sudden. then almost as quick (maybe a 6 month time period) all those guys were using their rectos or 5150s again....

i play in a new york hardcore band. the krankenstein is perfect for me. i do enjoy very high end gear and i have alot but the rip your head off sound i can get from that krank works for me. i just hope the prices drop soon so i can get a backup..... mine was used to record the sworn enemy "the begining of the end" record. sounds pretty good on wax.Comment

You also have to remember Dime used Randall solid state amps for years. He never used a tube amp that sounded good to him until Krank. He did have a different sound and he played different than most.It's pronounced soopsComment

Yeah, it's ironic that a tube amp company's premier endorser was widely known to have previously exclusively used solid state amps. What does that say about the amps? I never played a Krank amp myself, but it gave the impression that the amps must have sounded solid state...and what's the point in that?Originally posted by 84sups View PostComment

i wish they were solid state, i need to buy new tubes for the one !!! ive owned it for years and never had to change them, the time has come......Comment

Loomis played Krank in Nevermore at least for as short while. You can see it on the Voyager dvd. For some reason I thought he used Krank on Dead Heart but, apparently, that was a rectifier.Comment
