Krank Amplifications Review: Revolution Series 1

History:

Purchase: I called Krank (www.krankamps.com) and talked to them about the new amp. I wanted a custom-made high-gain amp. I also got a custom-made 412 cabinet made out of solid wood. I had them both made for $2,000. That is an insane price for a boutique hand-made amp!!!

What I Like About This Krank Amplifications Revolution Series 1: 2 channels (Krank and Kleen). The Kleen channel is truly a clean channel, regardless of how loud you crank it up. Trying too hard will result in some serious hearing loss. Enough of the sissy stuff! The Krank channel is where it is at!!! This channel has 2 volumes. That means you can get rid of that boost pedal you were using for your solos. With the tone you get out of this channel, you won't want to use a distortion pedal of any kind! Each channel has its own FX loop. Just an added bonus:-)

What I Do NOT Like About The Krank Amplifications Revolution Series 1: The cabinet is pretty heavy??? I can't think of anything I don't like, besides the weight.

Krank Amplifications Revolution Series 1 Quality Rating: HIGHEST of QUALITY!!! I hear alot about amps being built like tanks. If that is so, I guess this amp would crush a tank. Built out of solid wood. Has a chrome grill on the head, as well as the cabinet.

Review Summary: I play a variety of guitars, such as a LP custom, LP studio, Fender telecaster, Fender strat, Carvin DC400, Hamer Echotone, and many more. Each guitar has its own characteristics, and the Krank channel will definitely let them shine. I play music that covers every genre from dance-pop-punk-modern rock. Those of you who think Mesa Boogies are the amp of choice...you NEED to check this amp out. That is all that needs to be said!

Rating of this Krank Amplifications product: 5
