Where can I get metal grill cloths?
Is this head stereo or mono?
The cab is mono but you can easily wire it for stereo if you know how-
I was wondering if a Krankenstein cab and either a Rev or Rev SST would mix well? Thanks.
Sure they mix great! Really when it comes to what Krank head/cab combo is best it really is very subjective. I can tell you Zach Broderick from Nonpoint likes the Rev+ with a Krankenstein cab… The Rev SST also sounds great with it, the only thing you might want to do if you went that route is put an adjustable jack plate on the Krankenstein cab that would allow you to switch between 4 and 16 ohms as the SST really rocks at 4 ohms…and don’t let that deter you from getting an SST btw, it’s really easy to rewire your cab. Hope that helps!
Will the dirty valve have 4×12?
Actually the origin of the Basszilla cab comes from my idea of combining what used to be my live setup of an 8×10 and a Krank 4×12 loaded with Eminence PA speakers… So while I’m not sure that we’ll ever make a bass 4×12 a stock item it could most certainly be ordered as a custom item, just contact the sales department via sales@krankamps.com for a price quote!
hello, what is the type of solid wood used in the krankenstein cab? i noticed the rev cab has some sort of birch ply, but on these specifications it says solid wood?
thanks
Mickey
Actually both the Krankenstein and Rev cabs have a solid poplar wood shell while the Rev SST cab has a 13-ply baltic birch construction…
Witch one does Brendan Small of Dethklok use….the krank revolution or krankenstein?
And if i was to get the krankenstein cab with the Krank + head would i get a much more brutal lower heavier tone thats so powerful or is there no difference?
Brendon has used the Krankenstein mostly… The main difference in the cabs is the speakers as the Rev and Krankenstein cab are constructed the same. The Krankenstein has Eminence Texas Heat speakers that are a wattage rated a little higher at 150W each and they have a more open top end and boomer low end. Both cabs sound great with the Krankenstein+ tho so it comes down to a matter of preference!
4×12 ~ 600W speaker. Could Krankenstein+ handle it ? 120W power tube really play with 600W speaker ?
The Krankenstein cab is rated at 600W as each Texas Heat speaker in it is a 150W speaker…and yes the Krankenstein+ easily pushes that cab! In layman’s terms tube watts are far more powerful that solid state watts and the cab was designed to match the Krankenstein head…
HOLY SHIT! can u use 2 cabs to produce 1200W of POWER!!!???
Hey there i was wondering, if i were to purchase a Cab. This one is the one i am looking at. And I were to temporarily use my marshall head wich is a (Avt150h) 150 watt non Tube. Which can run at 4 Or 8 ohms, if it would damage the Cab. Or is there a way to run it untill i can afford the head as well
Oh no Chris you’d be able to run the cab with that head until you can afford the Krankenstein+. Solid state heads aren’t particular about what ohm cab they’re run into so you’re all good to go…
I just got a krankenstien cab it’s inputs say 16 ohm parallel but my amp only has a single 16 ohm out which one do I plug it into?
Plug into the 16 ohm on the amp and either jack on the cab and you’re good to go…
how much does this cab weigh?
it’s around 85 lbs unboxed…
Have you guys ever thought of putting in selector switches of some kind to enable/disable specific speakers in the unit? That way a 4×12 could be used live, but with the flick of a switch, converted to a 1×12 for studio recordings.
Not a bad thought but to do that right you’d almost want to chamber it which drives costs up…but an idea none the less!
Hmm, but if the other 3 speakers were disabled, would the 1 that’s on really need to be chambered?
However, I think I’m really leaving the scope of this page.. so I’ll stop asking questions, heheh
… I’d still like an answer to this question, though, heheh :)
Still there, catero?
Damnit, dude!!!
HEY KRANK GUYS,IS THE KRANKENSTIEN WITH THE GREEN WOOD WOOFER FRAME,BEHIND THE BLACK GRATEING STILL AVAILABLE? THE ONE DIME IS STANDING BY IN THE PHOTO,OR DID THAT LOVEABLE LUNITIC SRAYPAINT IT HIMSELF!THANX,BLACKY
That one was done specifically for Dime! BUT you can easily paint the baffle board that slime green color!
instead of using just a plain green, i use chrome green… want any chrome colors, go to myspace and look for my business: Chrome City. we do any color chrome too!
HEY KRANK GUYS,WHEN DO I GET MY DIME/KRANK CATALOG YOU HAVE OFFERED,I CALLED YOUR NUMBER BEFORE X-MAS? THANX BLACKY.I’M GOING TO BUY THE KRANKENSTIEN CAB AND TAKE YOUR ADVICE.SLIME GREEN IT IS!
Hey Blacky we’ll be posting up the new catalog on the website shortly! Not sure what kind of stock in the catalogs we’ll have after the NAMM show tho…download it man!
i use the internet at school, and dont have time to read the entire krank catalog, i dont have internet, so is there a way u can send the catalog to my house? i’ll send my info.
E-mail the “sales” option on the site with an address and we’ll see what we can do…
hey, how many decibels does this thing put out?
Not sure the total but A LOT!!!!!!! Very loud amps into well built cabs…
Will there ever be a 2×12 speaker cab made for this or the Rev heads?
We used to make a 2×12 but discontinued them a couple years ago. Truthfully getting two Jr. 1×12 cabs is a better option as you can do exactly what the 2×12 can simply by stacking them BUT with two 1×12’s you have the flexibility to angle them differently, place one behind you and one in front of you as a personal monitor, spread them wide on stage, etc. Deff more versatility from venue to venue!
I was wondering if u could play a Krank Rev jr. 20w through a krankenstein 4X12 if that head would have enough power to push through the cab?
Yeah actually you could use that as we have done that at the shop numerous times! Truthfully you’re better off with the 50W version OR you could rewire the cab to 4 ohms to get more juju out of the head…
Is it noticablely louder using the 4X12 with a 20w head then useing a krank jr. full stack with a 20w head?
As far as loudness goes it’s more of a perceived loudness in a 4×12 as it will move more sound volume-wise with 4 speakers but truly it’s close in the sense of overall decibels, the Jr. cabs are just more focused directionally…
hi there i have a krankenstein 4×12 cab i need tp replace the bottom left speaker but i don’t know what ohm the individial speaker is as i can purchase a 4 8 or 16 ohm speaker
thanks for your time
Would be a 16 ohm Texas heat!
cheers dude just ordered one
so I’m getting alot of crap from my friends saying that the krankenstien cab is overpriced and i should just build one and save the money is this even possible and how much money would i save (if any) and is there any thing i can tell these guys to get them to shut up about it all and prove them wrong. thanks -mike
Well tell your friends to shut up already hahaha! The truth is the Krankenstein and Rev cabs are constructed of solid poplar wood shells, which is a very old school and expensive construction method. You just don’t find sheets of solid wood available, if you tried to go to a lumber yard you would see how much it would cost to get them to make you a sheet of poplar! Then by the time you buy the Eminence speakers, all the tolex, the hardware, etc,…you’re in for a lot of money AND you still have to make the thing! If you’re friends ever got to play thru a Krank cab they would understand why it’s a little expensive…and truthfully it’s cheaper than a Bogner or Diezel and uses better wood!
out of all your JR. series heads wich one has the best clean tone
Truthfully they both sound good, you can’t go wrong with either…
Truthfully they both sound good, you can’t go wrong with either…
Have you ever thought about adding some of the things in your heads that people might get them modded for, like for instance a built in noise supressor or something to that effect?
Honestly we purposely keep our heads simple in nature. Anytime you add some kind of bell and whistle you’re coloring the circuit usually in one way or another…plus most players have favorite effects/gates/etc. that they prefer so we leave that up to the player to decide….
Hey Catero, Im building my own custom cab to Krank 4×12 specs. but im putting 2×15’s in it instead. I already own a Krankenstein cab and the solid wood puts out a ton of bass so I was gunna go with the 13 play baltic birch since 15’s have alot of bass by default. Can you give any advice on where you guys get the corners, jack plate, handles, and rubber feet?
I have a rack head set up with a crown power amp that puts out 600watts at 8 ohms (bridged mono). Would this work fine for this cab?
Yeah you shouldn’t have any problems!
Just getting back from NAMM!
