Amps that don't get much love...

[danastas]

I used to have one of these suckers.



I don't even know where it is or what happened to it. I lost track. I tried to buy one on Ebay recently and my jaw hit the floor when I saw how much they were going for.

IIRC it's 3X more than I paid for a brand new one, never mind a 25 year old unit that's been dropped a hundred times (and you know it's been dropped because people used to buckle them on their belts).

Never played one..Andy Sneap certainly makes them sound AWESOME..that's for sure!!!

I never read a good reveiw about Kranks or from guys I know.. but I NEVER heard a bad recording of one either..

Tell me, what kind of tone do you go for..have you ever played a Uberschall (what I have) and what are your thoughts..

Kranks are not discussed very much here..but some of my favorite bands/players use them...so I'm curious.

It has a very nuique Gain channel. It's very heavy but clear at the same time. You hear everything. I have heard the Uberschall and it has a modern gain like that. Andy Sneaps tone is very close to my tone. It's alittle different as he uses the Krankenstien. It has even more gain. If you ever get a chance to play one for yourself, you may be inpressed. I was and I'm cridical with my tone.

This will depend on if you get to play a new one or a used one.

Geez, and I thought I had the only SOB out there! It's an '81 60 watter that I bought for $300 off of Eddie Money's guitarist in '83 or '84. More headroom and volume than any one person should be allowed to possess...glad to see you don't have the "my parent's patio furniture wicker"-version!

Awesome amps for the money, I think they're still about $300 or so....

Was it Tommy Gervins that you bought the amp from? just curious, he's a friend of mine, more of a friend of a freind, but a great player in every style.

[charvelguy]

Dude, that XP head is sooo rare. They were going for like 500+on ebay almost 5 years ago.

[SouthernXer]

Here's my Peavey Heritage I bought new in 1985. It was my first "real" amp and I still plug her in every now and again.

[slayer]

I have a sweet 1988 Carvin X100B head that sounds great. It has EL34`s. Takes pedals very well and the clean channel is very clean. Not as loud as some 100 watt heads though.

Man, I don`t know why the picture didn`t show up without a link. This has been happening lately. Something up with photobucket or? Jack.

I have a Carvin MTS 3212. Very nice amp and plenty loud for a combo.
