This is really cool. Thank you for making this. Krank was a part of my development of my playing. Of course, I was enamored at the idea that Dime had a signature. So I bought one when I was 19. I eventually became friends with Patrick. Some of the other guys from Krank about the 19 year old kid(me lol) that bought one from West LA Music. I used to gig in local bands with it around LA and always ripped. I still have it and will never part ways with it. Long live Krank 🤘🏽

Born in '83 but I'm glad I was there for the glory years of all the guitar magazines, I learned so much straight from the players themselves. I stopped buying them around '08. I also 'inherited' my older relatives collections too and so I have mags going back to the mid-late 80s. I tried to get into _dirtbags_ 'damage plan' so-called "band" and even caught their show in Vancouver back then, but, man, they just couldn't match Pantera. Seeing _dirtbag_ then was like watching a shadow of his former self. It seemed sad.

Kranks were legitimately good amps and had a really unique tone and feel to them. Shame they went under. Dimebag's death definitely shortened the life of the company. I can't believe it's been 20 years, I still remember reading the news headline on the internet that next morning and just thought it had to be a hoax.

Jody was the problem with Krank. I worked for a local music store Boogie Music in Phx, we were one of the EARLY adopters and sold dozens of half stacks. A few of the staff were sold amps at significant discounts by Jody, as a “thank you” and to help get the name around town, we found out months later he never told anyone he gave us discounts, and put on the books he sold them to us at full price then went around bad-mouthing us saying we “didn’t pay”, dude was a complete scumbag.

Youre a goof if you believe what you said. Look at the signal chain and tell me that randall or krank makes a difference. The actual amp tone is marginally to moderately influential. Just as dime never used the randall warhead. He used it for cleans and used the randall century still.

Patrick Flanagan was the only real technician there that was not a hack job and had skills Tony has mental problems and creates all sorts of drama with people because he’s technically a horrible person but I will give him credit. He knows good tone and that’s it the goons that came in later from Tucson or New Mexico, ruined everything Krank were made out of top quality components. You couldn’t buy any better top shelf electronics to make them.
