The legend starts here with the 100 watt Krank
Revolution all-tube, hand wired touring head. Proudly
designed and built in the USA by most dedicated bunch of amp
fanatics ever assembled, the Krank Revolution features two
channels each with separate volume and concert tuned 3-band EQs.
Two separate master volume controls on the Krank channel allow
for switching from power chord level to solo level and the
Master Presence control adjusts both Kleen and Krank channels to
your cabinet. The proprietary Sweep control on the Krank channel
gives the Revolution an infinite variety of tone voices and we
promise that your sound is in there just waiting for you to dial
it up. Loaded with four premium Electro Harmonix 12AX7 preamp
tubes and four premium Sovtek 5881 power tubes, the Revolution
was built with absolutely no compromises. The Revolution
includes a rugged steel two-button footswitch for channel
switching and switching between the two channel master volumes
on the Krank channel. The Revolution head is perfectly matched
to the Revolution 4 X 12 solid wood touring cabinet with
matching chrome plated steel grill and loaded with Eminence V12
Legend drivers.
Chadwick 50 Watt-Two Channel Classic Valve Amp
Features
-
Speaker Outputs 16, 8, and 4 ohms
- Line out
- 2 premium Sovtek 5881 power tubes
- 4 ElectroHarmonix 12AX7 preamp tubes
- Active/Passive series effects loop with volume control
The Chadwick is a fully Kranked version of
the classic British tube amp ala JMP/AC-30, but with more tone
and more muscle. This baby pumps out 50 watts of classic tube
tone laced with incredible harmonic overtones and warmth.
The Clean channel is big and fat with clarity and power and
features both Volume and Gain controls so you can dial up
anything from perfectly clean to a sparkley rhythm.
The Drive channel features three gain stages (variable Gain,
switchable Drive, and Volume) with a very trick Envelope circuit
that creates a punchy overdrive similar to output tube
distortion when turned up and an icy tight brittle sound when
turned down. Both channels feature very smooth Bass, Mid, and
Treble EQ controls that enhance your sound rather than change
it. Any player from classic rock to hard country will fall in
love with this amp fast. The Chadwick is a great match for the
Revolution 4 X 12 cabinet with four Eminence V12 legend
speakers.
The Chadwick in detail:
Gain This controls the amount of distortion or
overdrive generated at the front end of the preamp section.
Drive This adds gain in the middle of the preamp for
more distortion and overdrive. Pushing the Drive switch in
increases the gain in the circuit.
Envelope This controls the amount of gain in the last
stage of the preamp. Turned down, the envelope will sound cool
and bright. Increasing the Envelope will increase sustain and
make the amp sound a bit softer. Its best to start in the
middle and check out both directions with this control. Note
that if either the Gain or the Envelope is turned all the way
down the amp will make no sound.
Shift This switches the tone of the Drive channel
between one of two preset values. In the out or off
position the circuit flows normally through the EQ section.
Pushed in and activated, Shift allows more mids and lows through
the circuit and makes the tone controls slightly less active.
Simply put the Shift control switches between Classic Tube and a
Modified Tube amp. We thought both sounded great so we figured
we would give you both options and let you choose what suits
your style best.
