what speakers do you use in 1*12″ cabinets fo Jr. amps ?
The speakers in the Rev Jr. cabs are the same Eminence Legend V12’s we use in the 4×12!
What are the measurements of the removable grill for this cabinet?
thx
The cab grills are 30″ x 28″….
what is the shipping weight of the cab?
The shipping weight in the box is about 100 lbs….
How Would I Know Witch Cabnets I Have Cuz The Store I Got It From Didnt Tell Me….Is There Some Sort Of Label On It…?
Look at the serial number on the back, it here’s a “KC” in it then it’s a Rev cab, if there’s a”DC” in it it’s a Krankenstein cab, if there’s an “SSC” it’s a SST cab. Also Krankenstein cabs have the Dimebag badge int he bottom right-hand corner…
There is a hole at the bottom of the cabinet. I’ve never seen that on other closed cabs. Whats its purpose?
Actually that’s a soundhole to vent the bass response on the cab as it’s oversized and will push some air! And actually it’s on a lot of different cabs!
hey guys,i was wondering why you chose poplar for the construction of your cabinets rather than say 7 ply birch? ps wish you guys would make an angled cab!!! lol
Using the poplar was a very old school way of making cabs. See the poplar is solid wood which hardly anyone does now due to the expense but by using a solid wood construction you get a livelier , more toneful response. You really notice it in the upper range and overall tightness as well. This was simply a better match to our high gain heads that have a much broader frequency range versus the very thin construction you were mentioning. We do make the SST cab which is a 13 ply baltic birch as a tonal variance and that cab sounds great as well also in part because we use a very high grade of that ply… No we never made any slants/angled cabs, who knows maybe one day but no plans right now…
To me that makes sense,using one solid slab of wood rather than 7 or 12 glued together sheets. I’ve noticed no matter what amp i run through a rev cab it has just superior tightness and headroom to a birch cab with celestions which tend to be very woofy. To that end i was wondering is that why you guys use Eminence speakers over Celestions?
Well the truth of the matter is we simply prefer them to the Celestions. The Eminence speakers are U.S. made like our amps, and have better quality and price which is a rare combination nowadays! A good portion of the Celestions are made in China now and those don’t sound as good as the UK ones, plus they’re more expensive…and while I know many people like Celestions but when comparing them side by side the Eminence just sounded better in our cabs. And really not to knock the Celestions too much because they obviously make some great speakers but it just made more business sense, and most importantly, more tonal sense to us to use Eminence. And the people there at that company are top notch!
I run a Krankenstein head into a Rev 4×12 and it sounds great! i was wondering what the tonal difference would be in I used a Krankenstein cab?
The cabs wood-wise and construction are the same, the difference is the Krankenstein cabs has Eminence Texas Heats speakers where the Rev has Legend V12s. The Texas Heat is a little higher wattage at a 150W rating and has was is called an open zurette dust cap, meaning the dust cap on the cone of the speaker is mesh and lets all the mids come down the pike full bore where say the Legend V12 has a solid dust cap that has a specific frequency cut associated with it. The Texas Heat is a little glassier on top and boomier on bottom, this speaker was Dimebag’s choice of speaker… The head will sound good with either cab but if you’re in the market to add a cab on go with the Krankenstein, you will love the combination of the two as the compliment each other really well!
oK i know you guys are busy all the time but i think a great business move would to make a side brand liike squier by fender just for those who are a little tighter in money.( especcially in these times)
Well we’re a much smaller company than Fender or Gibson in that regard so it would be a huge investment…BUT we have added products in that are more budget friendly. You should check out the Rev SST cab as it’s a killer cab and has the same type of construction as the Rev only it uses 13-ply baltic birch. And it should be noted we didn’t skimp on that cab either as 13 play baltic is the same wood used in the Bogner cab, Diezel, etc., and it has a street price of $699…check it out!
I picked up one of these cabs used for cheap, however it has a blown speaker. Upon closer inspection I noticed that its wired series/parallel… so this means I could disconnect one of the speakers without it changing the impedance of the cabinet correct? I do plan on replacing it but for now I’d just like it to be usable! Thanks.
No taking one of the speakers out will deff change the impedance and be VERY BAD to run that way, could blow up your head! To make it useable you would need to disconnect not only the blown one but also one other to keep the impedance even. Not knowing if your cab has 16 ohm speakers or is an early Krank cab with 8 ohm speakers I would suggest taking the cab to a local repair tech who can check it out for you and wire it correctly! BTW replacement speakers are available in the Krank store when you’re ready to change the bad one out!
Hey I know you guys like the eminence and all..But I was wondering if it would be possible to have a cab made with vintage 30’s in it.
It can be done but there’s an upcharge for that as not only are the speakers more expensive but we also have to load them special. What you should do is get one of our new Nineteen80 cabs if you’re looking for that sound as it has Eminence Governor speakers which are the same vibe but way superior to the Vintage 30’s made today…go to eminence.com to check those out!
hey thanks for the reply! I will check those out for sure. Checked out your band by the way. Very Sick!
Hey Dave happy to help you man! And by the way thanks for the props on Razer bro!
I’m in love with krank cabs, so wich cab would you recommend me to run my new engl Invader 100 into?. I have the Revolution in mind. What do you think? Thanks and warmest regards from Spain.
Yeah I think the Rev cab would be a great choice!
hey, i get that the difference between the revolution cab and the sst cab is pretty much jut the wood. but is there really a sound difference? and i have a rev+. also, what n gods name is the dummy cab? hahahahaha
Oh yeah there’s deff a sound difference! The solid wood poplar is very lively sounding much in part to it being actual wood planks versus ply wood where there’s a lot of glue in the overall makeup. Now that’s not to say that certain plywoods don’t sound great, it’s just different…in this case the SST is made of 13 ply baltic birch which is a premium plywood. It’s also a very dense, heavy wood and produces and darker tone which is very desirable as well to many guitarists so it comes down to what do you think is right for you! And btw dummy cabs are unloaded cheap plywood cabs just for a “look” onstage that are lightweight and easy to move around…the wall of cabs look without the volume or broken back!
Hey right now I own and 6505+ and am running it through a midrange carvin cab. I wanted to buy a krank cabinet. Which one has better low end for like chuggin, etc The rev or the krankenstein cab? And how would you compare your cabs to mesa’s overized? Thanks alot, – Jeff
Truthfully you can’t go wrong with either of those cabs, or the SST cab for that matter. The difference would be the Rev has a very specific midrange response because of the Legend V12 speakers while the Krankenstein has more of an open midrange and boomy low end due to the Texas Heat speakers. The SST cab has the Legend V12’s as well but is made of 13 ply baltic birch and has a darker tone…all tho are really kick ass. Our oversized cabs deff handle the chug and are very tight sounding. In comparison to a Mesa cab I think we have more of a tight low end response with ours…
cool thanks alot!
I own two Krankenstein cabs and the matching head. When I bought this setup I spent about $3,000 on it and it was worth every dollar. I wanted to know if there is anywhere to buy just the chrome grills for the cab and possibly head too??
Also, what about a replacement footswitch? Thanks :)
Awesome to hear the money was well spent!!! And yep absolutely you can get the chrome grills, they’re available right in our webstore!
