Krank showed off their new micro versions of the Rev 1 heads and amps at this years NAMM. Well they have gone retail this month and you should be able to pick one up at your local or online Krank retailer soon. The Krank Rev Jr. 20W Full Stack Guitar Amp is based on the Rev 1 line, but obviously the focus is on putting it into a smaller package.

Marshall also has two micro stacks, the MG15MSII and a Zakk Wylde branded one that was released this year, the MG15MSZW. The major difference between Marshall’s micro stack and Krank’s is Krank’s setup comes with a tube head (and the associated price tag) and Marshall’s is all solid state.

Information is still a little scarce and I was unable to find an actual hands on review for this product, but I do have a few specs. The Krank Rev Jr. is a 20 watt micro amp available as either a full stack or half stack. The unit is essentially the exact same as the full size Rev, but is meant for people who dont want to pay the full price because they aren’t going to use all that power. The head is all tube, has 2 channels, a boost switch, and an active tube-driven effects loop. If you get the full stack it comes with two 1×12 speakers, the half stack comes with one. The cabs are made out of solid poplar wood and come with the signature Krank metal grill.

Online stores are listing the price as $899USD for the full stack and $699USD for the half. It’s a pretty steep price, but remember it’s a tube amp, and it’s Krank.

If I get any more information from Krank or if I find a hands on review, I’ll post that as well.
