Krank

[Pills Are Yummy]

Hello talkbass!

This is my first post on TB, still a bit nervous

I stumbled upon quite a unique bass amp recently. The Krank D800 Dirty Tube bass head. It's a lightweight, rack mountable hybrid-tube head with some very interesting settings such as "girth" "mid punch" and "fat growl." Now, I know this is a very new amp with little knowledge existing on it, but it seems like it would make for a pretty unique bass tone, seeing that its designed just for heavy music.
Anyways, what are your thoughts on this monster? X mas is right around the corner and my money's saved for either this or an Ampeg SVT 2 PRO.

....begin.

2 Pro rules all. Thank you.

That Krank sounds cool. I've never heard of it. You can't lose with an SVT-2 though. It's up there with the other kings.

Between those I'd go for the 2pro. No contest.

I don't really intend for this to become a "Krank vs. Ampeg ultimate showdown" threads, I just want to know your thoughts on the head (and don't get started on the basszilla cabs)

I played the 2 pro for years..It is an excellent amp.

I thought Krank was only making guitar amps (I have heard reports the guitar amps are quite interesting).

I did find this KRANK DIRTY VALVE D800 - the full review!
