Krank Mini Stack

[Rick]

You could always get it and if the tone is bad, atleast you have a nice looking cheese grater

I have to rep that.

Gold? As in shiny and hard to clean afterwards?

i still stand by the roland cube and line 6 spider as being the best sounding bedroom practice amps, seriously they kick ass! if i didnt have my engl and/or vht here as my practice amp i would probably get one of those hahah

 

[loktide]

grab a flextone II or somethin instead

mini-stacks won't compensate lack of tone by looks... if you want a smaller jam/practice amp, get a real head thru one 1x12 cab or a combo amp

 

[metalfiend666]

Erm, just do what I do and buy an attenuator. A good one like the THD Hotplate, Dr Z Airbrake or one of the Weber models won't damage your amp. You can use your full size tube head at home without pissing off the neighbours or your family.

 

[Cringles]

Yes the THD Hotplate is good, i have it with my KRANK, yes i like the tone i get from my krank!

 

[Zepp88]

I'd just grab a Roland Cube amp for those purposes...

do you play the rev1 or krankenstein?
what tubes?
do you boost it?
additional EQ?

 

[Cringles]

At the minute its just the stock tubes, its the rev 1.
tubes are 4 – Premium Electro Harmonix 12AX7 preamp tubes
4 – Premium Sovtek 5881 power tubes

I dont boost it, or use a EQ.

Hey, i have to admit, it does look very very cool

 

[Drew]

If your looking for small tube stuff get a mesa f-30 small but still loud as fuck

...which doesn't make it an ideal practice rig.

It's also pretty damned pricey. I was seriously impressed by the amp myself, but it's hardly an affordable "practice" amp, but more of a low-wattage gigging rig.

 

[Holy Katana]

It looks cool, but it probably makes an MG sound good.

 

[zimbloth]

If you want cool tones at low volumes, the Behringer GMX212 is badass. That replaced my F-30 (great amp but too powerful for home use).

 

[playstopause]

It's just the look of it that's attractive.

 

[Blexican]

Oh look, how cute...Krank-stank now comes in Child-size doses.

I second the Roland cube, those little things work magic!

 

[metalfiend666]

If I wanted a cheap small stack, I'd mix one of these with either my existing cab or a Mesa 1x12.

Nah dude, that's silver or copper. Gold doesn't really oxidize, which is half the reason it's so valuable.

 

[Desecrated]

The "H&K blue edition" smokes the roland cube. But for your need I would try a big combo like the 100watt 2x12 vox valvetronix xl;

VOX AD100VT-XL

Also the behringer mention above is pretty sweet.
