For the KR7, Mick Thomson and Paul Rivera started from the acclaimed Knucklehead Reverb amp and adjusted the frequencies in the midrange to give the amp more punch and bring more definition to the bottom-end. Mick also had the gain increased and "sweetened" the top-end to compliment his guitars. Mick wanted this amp to be flexible for all playing styles but specialize in aggressive, quick and defined riffs.

There are 3 channels with 3 completely different circuit topologies & sonic textures, enabled by 5 12AX7WA tubes, along with 2 different & discrete sets of equalization result in a wide range of easy to dial up delicious & rich sounds. Spanning massive gain & distortion tones to sparkling crystal clean rhythm sounds, you can have it all with the KR7.
