NEWS: Prototype Krank head on eBay

Published November 11, 2009 | By Peter Hodgson

An original 100 watt Krank prototype amp head is listed on eBay at the moment, and visually it’s waaaaaaaay different to the killer Krank amps we know and love today.

Here’s an excerpt from the listing:

Lead channel provides tons of gain with Bass Treb, mid, presence and sweep and sounds similar to a JCM 800 with mods, Bogner or other vintage style botique amp. It also cleans up a bit if you back off on the gain and your playing.

Clean channel is similar to a older Fender with Bass and treb controls and a push pull bright switch.

2 Channel (standard 1/4 inch footswitch)

Built to last a long time ! Works and sounds great with no issues.

4 6CA7EH Power Tubes

Switchable impedance 4 8 16

This is a cool 100W 2 channel Guitar head that sounds great. If you like boutique style amps like Bogners, Soldanos and other names you will love the unique yet versatile sound of the lead channel on this amp. Rhythm channel is very clean and is similar to a Fender amp.

It was recently serviced by Tony Dow of KRANK and has a clean bill of heath.

This was one of the first Krank amplifiers and was hand built by Tony Dow about 10 years ago. The box (cabinet) is actually a Marshall JCM 800 2203 dummy that Tony got from George Lynch.

Sounds cool, huh?
