    Cool video - It's so refreshing to see real gear. Every show I see now is just Axe fx unit line into the snake with triggered drums and no open stage mics except vocals. Esoteric instruments and personal sound control is something irreplaceable, that has all but been replaced. Keep up the great work Cheers!!

    I use my Kraken V4 Amp for my jazz and blues cover band. It really is that versatile. Channel 1 can do absolutely anything.

    I use a Victory Kraken V4 Preamp pedal for my gain stages going into the front of my amps and it really is like the man says, OD channel 1 is super versatile for anything from pushed cleans with the volume knob rolled down to gorgeous leads and rhythm tones and it works super well with my T style guitar. OD 2 is exceptional for leads and you can get some really nice thick chord work going in higher gain territory. They're not exactly cheap but they are really great sounding surprisingly functional amps in whichever form you can get your mits on.

    I'm starting to think that channel 1 of my kraken ain't right - I never thought it had a lot of gain. 🤔

    They killed the Mark II. For what it's worth, I dunno if it's enough to make me jump from My Mark I... That's an amp that every time I use it, I think to myself that it'll never leave. But damn this amp can give you FOMO.

    Some Peter Jackson forced perspective going on in this vid. Or are these guys actual Hobbits compared to normal sized Rabea?

    • @Pizvo

      This is 50W vs 15W for the PRS, has one more gain stage and more versatile switching options. It's also not triple but exactly double the price.

      @@Pizvo in eu 1680 euros, 550 euros the prs few years before.... 15 W for the prs??? I play the drum in a metal band and I try to play as loud as I can => my guitar player are less than half power in the master of their mt15..... enough power on stage and for playing with a loud drummer.... spend your money as you want, you won't have a power issue with the prs mt15

    • @Pizvo
      @Pizvo ปีที่แล้ว

      @@MrDJELEDJE it's a tax thing since Victory is based in UK. It's cheaper in the US, as well as MT15 being cheaper in EU because it's imported straight from Asia.
      It's loud enough for small gig, sure, but you get little headroom and a lot of compression. It's also not that good on larger venues, you can't power it enough to use a cab as stage monitoring. You also have to take into account that the Kraken is a professional signature amp Made in UK and MT15 is more of a small gigging/garage amp Made in China. It's brilliant for what it is, but there's a big difference in things like touring reliability and resell value.
      I personally also use a loud 15W tube amp (Laney CUB Super 12) so i know very well what you can and can not do with it.
