Bottom Line Krank is the way to go as far as quality amps!
The NEW Rev Jr. micro stack and Krankshaft overdrive pedal came out in April/May 2008. Here is some info:
The Rev Jr. Mini Stack is a professional studio quality rig featuring a 20W all tube dual channel head (2 5881’s, 3 12AX7’s) with boost switch and active tube-driven effects loop. One thing we should mention is the 1×12 solid poplar wood cabs (same construction as their big brothers, the Rev and Krankenstein 4×12 cabinets) will handle a 100W head for home studio use, serving multiple purposes. The full stack will be $899 MAP, $699 MAP for the half stack (*NOTE: the head will not be sold separately). The Rev Jr. delivers great tube tone backstage, in the studio, at intimate club gigs or at home where volume and space can be an issue.
Also coming is the Krankshaft overdrive, a very hot-rodded tube screamer-type pedal that sounds great as a front end lead boost or as a dirty sound on a clean channel. That will MAP at $129.
Both got rave reviews and were listed as some the top items seen by the various guitar magazines this past January at Winter NAMM 2007. For any further inquiries please e-mail them at sales@krankamps.com.
