I wanted to make a comparison of the Victory Super Kraken VX100 and the Peavey Invective 120 for a little while so I finally did it. The reason I wanted to compare these amps is because:
- They're both high-gain modern metal amps
- They're both signature amps
- They're both (loosely) based on...
Got my Victory Super Kraken VX100 last week. I've wanted a full-tube Kraken for quite a while. I also have the V4 guitar amp which is really cool but I just prefer tube power amps for recording. This Super Kraken surely delivers with its 100w rating. The funny thing is that it's sort of...
You didn't see it coming, right? Neither did I.
Gotta try those settings first in case they're good before I set everything to noon, :lol:
I thought this thing had a loop (like most preamps). I guess I was wrong :shrug:
So this one crossed my path, and since they're pretty hard to...
Hi all. Looking at these two amps and can't decide.
The size and weight difference don't seem to be a massive difference, so I guess I'm really just wondering if the smaller one sounds a lot smaller? I can live without a clean channel though I'd like one if it's really worth the extra $800 as...
I got my hands on Solemn Tones Kraken Hybrid Bass, and gave it a run through. Its pretty awesome. It goes down to low C0, and has a ton of key switches. Whats really cool are the Slapping articulations. So if you looking for some slapping tones, then definitely check out the virtual bass. I...
Hi everyone.
After roughly a year of using this amp i am writing a review of this amp. It's the bigger brother of the VX kraken lunchbox amp and is somewhat the signature amp of Rabea Massaad.
What attracted me to this amp:
The main reason i went with this amp was the versatility, the smaller...
Hey guys. Did a shootout of these two over on my channel this week. I can't imagine that there are any high gain pedals out there that can really touch either of these in terms of the totality of what they have to offer.
Guys! I'm working on both building my YouTube channel, and making space for some new stuff. Drop me a sub, and check out the Facebook group Heavy Metal Amps and Pedals for a chance to win! Also, the Kraken remains heads and shoulders above the other preamp pedals out there, in my opinion haha.
As someone who has most of these lauded preamp pedals (G3, Nemesis, Pathos) and bought them with the intention to do comparison videos on them..I pretty quickly felt that this one is in a league of it's own, and I'm FAR from a tube snob. Highly recommend this guy.
A few months or a year ago or something I picked up a fairly cheap mahogany/zebrawood Kraken Octa 8 which I was pretty happy with after a setup, with the exception of the pickups which were dire.
Just the other day (okay so it's not NPD today), i put some Lace pickups i found cheap-ish on ebay...

Hi there!!
A year ago I bought a beautiful spalted maple Kraken Octa with maple fretboard.
The weakest part of the guitar were the factory pickups, so I replaced them with a Seymour Duncan set, Pegasus on bridge & Sentient on the neck. It was needed to re-route a little the pickup cavity, but...
As some of you might know, I only got my first seven string recently (Jeff Loomis Sig), but fell in love with the low end instantly. This led me to want an eight string, and found this guitar on eBay (Kraken Octa). I'm still a little upset that it got bid up to $580 from 300 bucks (not including...
So i grabbed one of these so that i could try my hands at an 8 string before i went ahead and bought a better one at the end of this year.
Initial reactions: This guitar is fantastic. It blows Agile out of the water for sure. It plays like a high end LTD (the 1000/deluxe series). It's very...
