KRANK DIRTY VALVE D800 - the full review!

#21
just going off the specs bro.... if you've got a bathroom scale and a digital camera... make sure you let Krank know

No the weight is not 30 pounds. It is around 20. I live near Krank and the guy in the video, Chris Catero on their site is the CEO of the company.
Tony Krank is the actual creator/designer of all the amps.

For others to know too... he is the bassist for Marty Friedman (x-guitarist of Megadeth) and goes on tour all over the world with him!


Also, make note that you can order these through Guitar Center.

At "straight up and down" settings you barely had the thing on.. The gain curve goes up exponentially as you turn input or "Volume" up. The red skulls indicate the fun zone ;) midpunch, fat growl and especially Sweep dramtically alter the gain and "loudness" of the amp. Again it's more like a guitar amp in its setup than a SS bass amp in the way the controls are laid out. There is no "flat" setting so to speak...

As I stated, I was in an audition situation and did not have time to experiment. Just the way it was. Red indicators to me suggest signal distortion; at least that's what most amp indicators are. Agreed that it is better to get to know the amp. Also, a little surprising that 12 o'clock on both controls would be barely on, though not saying your wrong, just a bit odd of a gain structure.

Hahah I wasn't being literal. That was more to say (enthusiastically) that at those setting the proverbial tiger didn't have its claws out yet ;)

The input gain structure is not linear... that is to say it "feels" like it goes from 0 - 20 in the first half of its range, and 20 - 100 in the second half...
