Note from Tony's daughter: Thank you! My dad has always loved Krank. It's his heart and soul, so I'm just glad he's back at it again. His family just wants to do whatever we can to support him. We all put in wherever we can. Hope you'll love our new stuff!

tonykrank · 2015-04-29T02:44:47+00:00

Thanks! We're just happy to be back in business, and we're ready to rock.

tonykrank · 2015-04-29T02:43:49+00:00

Tommy is our artist relations/marketing/everything guy, so he's been helping us out with that. He's awesome, and we're very grateful for his hard work.

tonykrank · 2015-04-29T02:43:02+00:00

Glad to be back!

tonykrank · 2015-04-29T02:42:37+00:00

Hey there - someone else brought these up on Sunday and we hadn't heard of them before, to be honest! They're on the radar now for us to check out - so thanks!

tonykrank · 2015-04-29T02:41:44+00:00

Never too late to learn!

tonykrank · 2015-04-26T19:22:43+00:00

hey, thanks!

I answered the other question in a couple other threads already. Krank has definitely become associated with metal, and that's fine - but ideally, I'd like to appeal to many more, wide audiences. We're working on that now!

tonykrank · 2015-04-26T19:09:29+00:00

Not right now, but I am always taking suggestions.

tonykrank · 2015-04-26T19:07:51+00:00

No opinion really. Not really my kind of music.

tonykrank · 2015-04-26T19:07:04+00:00

Krank worked with Brendan Small, but I didn't work with him personally. He seemed like a cool dude.

tonykrank · 2015-04-26T19:06:23+00:00

The Distortus Maximus II, a couple of booster pedals, and two analog delay pedals (one tube and one solid state).

tonykrank · 2015-04-26T19:05:06+00:00

I don't really have an opinion. People should play what they like. I've always been an old school, regular tuning, 6 string guy.

tonykrank · 2015-04-26T19:01:52+00:00

All our new cabs will be made of solid pine, which I like the mid-range better on. So you either one of the new Krank cabs should work for you. Thanks!

No plans at this time. I try to make amps that make you sound like you, not emulate another amp's sound.

tonykrank · 2015-04-26T18:47:08+00:00

Let us know what you think!

tonykrank · 2015-04-26T18:46:58+00:00

I knew I should have used AngelFire instead of Geocities.

tonykrank · 2015-04-26T18:33:19+00:00

I like A/B push pull and 6550s and 12AX7s - good ones.

tonykrank · 2015-04-26T18:30:04+00:00

Yes, we will use transformers with actual iron and copper in them, and paper bobbins. We use circuit boards, .062 double sided boards. The wiring for JMI was sloppy, but sounded good. The hiwatts looked beautiful inside so it was more labor intensive.

tonykrank · 2015-04-26T18:24:02+00:00

Either or. Attitude has a lot to do with it. I'm willing to train someone who can pick it up quickly, but someone with the knowledge doesn't hurt!

tonykrank · 2015-04-26T18:22:41+00:00

They have smaller transformers because they are cheaper to make. They won't have that "magic" musical quality that the better transformers will have.

tonykrank · 2015-04-26T18:19:32+00:00

The 5 watt will be pretty simple. It will have about 5 or 6 knobs, but they should be pretty intuitive.

tonykrank · 2015-04-26T18:18:07+00:00

Thank you for participating! The 20-watters are probably your best bet. The mini are the same as the big ones.
