Krank circuits

[Ragnar]

Hi guyz,
Do you have any idea of WHERE THE HACK CAN I FIND ANY KRANK CIRCUITS ?
Man, I searched web and some circuits pages, but with no result.
I realy need them bad. Even something that differ from the classic amps, like tone stack parts, or distortion chain, whatever.
I have something like a peavey 5150 II handbuilt, but I still search for that bestial krankin` sound. It seems that nothing like a circuit even exists.
Thx.

I forgot...circuit of my amp.
part 1

What do you meen by "krank circuit"?

[Ragnar]

I meant electronic schematic of any KranK guitar heads. You sure know `em.

hello!Please(if you can) re-attach crank schematics again!1st part dead.....(sorry of mistakes i ma from russia...and know english not very well)
\\\THANKS\\\\

Hi,
uhm, I`ve probably written the first message so it looks like I have the schematics, but didn`t mean that.
The circuits, which I don`t have any more, was my amp I built for myself, not a Krank amps schematic.
I still search for schematic for KranK revolution or Krankestein, but no luck
Sorry for the inconvinience guys...

There are a couple Krank distortion pedal schematics out there (Krank Distortus Maximus) ,But that is all i have ever seen....

If you wantg to try the krank pedal look over at DIYstompboxes.com and do a search and I"m sure you will find it..

Cheers

I'm also very interested in those sweet things,,,

You can find some pics of the revolution circuit here:








I know you can't do much with it but that'll help you dreaming a bit

Some considerations I do when I think of these kranks:

1-there's no schematic 'round the net, searched everywhere and nothing, so best thing would be to rent one for a coupla days and copyin the whole thing down into your computer,,, shame I can't find an audio service here that has even ever heard of krank,,,

2-if we get to know the name of the guy/company who owns the patent for the circuit parts [usually they patent single parts of the circuits] we can get the schematics from the us patent site,,, I searched there too but found nothing,,,

3-the hi-gain tube preamp circuits are all the same more or less,,, mainly it's just the values of the components that change, so that thunderous tone you get with the kranks can't be much more than a very good combination job of component sizes/values

4-the krankenstein is just the revolution with some very minor additions darrell requested [an fx loop and not much more IIRC]


also, Minion, I had a search around [also looked on diystompboxes] and couldn't find any schematic for the distortus maximus,,, could you please help me in finding some?
btw, is this a solid state or a tube distortion pedal?
Anyway, I was on the andy sneap forum and he said it sounds very good in his opinion,,, you know what, I trust the guy,,, so I'd like to give a shot at cloning this pedal,,,

how simple much simpler than my amps...
to Basstard: yes, that pedal is all SS
