In Pop Culture
In the video game Guitar Hero and Guitar Hero II, the amplifiers used by the players are Krank Amplifiers. The following addition to the series also features the amplifier at a later point in the game.
Krank amplifiers are the original amp of choice for Brendon Small as he used them in making the soundtrack for the television show Metalocalypse. His representative characters on the show, lead guitarists Skwisgaar Skwigelf and Toki Wartooth, were prominent users of the Dimebag Darrell model Krankenstein amplifier in the show, although Small used the Krank REVolution to record the dethalbum. Later on, Small switched to the Marshall AmplificationJCM 800 KK.

“Here is this vast, savage, howling mother of ours, Nature, lying all around, with such beauty, and such affection for her children, as the leopard; and yet we are so early weaned from her breast to society, to that culture which is exclusively an interaction of man on man,—a sort of breeding in and in, which produces at most a merely English nobility, a civilization destined to have a speedy limit.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
