This handwired 2014 Tone King Sky King is an impressive amp with a ton of flexibility.
Two independent channels each have their own attenuator, a unique feature that allows this 35 watt amp to find a home on stages of all sizes.
Without the attenuators in play, both channels deliver great tone with vintage 6L6 output character at volume levels that definitely will keep up with your band. I'd liken the clean tone to a vintage Fender Vibrolux Reverb. The lead side pushes beyond this into tweed territory.
Tone king has this to say, and I agree: "Both channels on your Tone King Sky King boast a no-nonsense 3-knob control layout and are foot-switchable. The rhythm channel offers ‘60s era cleans and chime. The lead channel handles the harmonically rich midrange of ‘50s tweed amps. And thanks to its Mid Bite control, it will also deliver old-school, British punch."
"The Ironman II reactive power attenuator gives Tone King amplifiers increased flexibility for any gig, session, or rehearsal. Just crank your amp to the sweet spot then rein in the volume for thick, rich tone at usable levels. And thanks to its reactive load technology and HF Compensation, you’ll always maintain your cranked amp tone and feel."
The amp is simple to dial in. There really is no bad setting here.
Footswitchable reverb and tremolo round out the offering. "Spring reverb and bias-modulated tremolo have helped define the tone of many vintage, American-voiced combo amps. We have gone into painstaking detail to re-create those same thick, splashing, pulsating tones. And we think you’ll find our tube-driven circuits and old-school control perfectly capture the sound and character of the originals."
The amp has been very well cared for. Included is the original footswitch. It came to us without the TRS footswitch cable, however, and we only have one here, so it will come with no footswitch cable.
