Krank Krankshaft review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

The Krank Krankshaft Overdrive pedal delivers killer tones and a chunky build, living up to its bold name. This hot-rodded tube screamer-type pedal excels as both a front-end lead boost and a standalone overdrive, delivering meaty crunch and raunchy leads reminiscent of AC/DC and The Black Crowes. Its simple layout of three controls and a sturdy switch is easy to use, making it a reliable choice for guitarists seeking vintage overdrive on steroids. While it's not for metal mayhem, the Krankshaft nails classic overdrive tones, earning it a spot on any guitarist's pedalboard.
