Hey guys! We've been pretty quiet so far this year, but now we break the silence with an exciting announcement. We have developed a new product!
It's not always convenient to mic up a cab when you want to record at home, but the Kraken Amps Load Box allows you to get the same cranked up tone without pi***ng off your neighbors. Get it now for the good price of R1500 (excl. shipping)!

Here's some action shots from the recent Aborted gig in Johannesburg. Some of the local bands jammed with our KT50's (including a Maximum Carnage branded amp) and V30 cabs.
So who's going to the Aborted show in JHB tomorrow? Keep an eye out for the Krakens on stage! \m/

People often ask us where we are based or where our amps are manufactured and it makes us happy to say that our amps are built by hand in Pretoria, South Africa! We support local suppliers as far as possible and we try to give back to the local music scene as well.
We have recently joined a cool little initiative that celebrates authentic products produced in our area. Go check out www.madeinthemoot.co.za
