Product Description

Californian-based Tone King have packed the American dream tone into the 35W 1x12 Sky King combo.

This amp is designed to bring the 50’s and 60’s to life. Handwired circuitry and a custom voice Celestion speaker produce glistening retro sounds. Whatever volume, the Sky King can deliver the unmistakeable cranked tube bark of tweed amplifiers.

Mode Switch

The Mode switch opens huge sonic possibilities. You can flick between the Ultra-linear setting which lets the amp sag and react to ever note. While pentode offers a more familiar clarity to your sound. 

Two Channels

The Sky King has two footswitchable channels. The Rhythm channel is where you’ll get a 60’s jangly clean, controlled by volume, bass and treble dials. The lead channel is more akin to a punchy 50’s midrange or British voicing. A simple volume, tone and mid-bite EQ control lets you access plenty of grunt. 

On board is an old-school spring reverb to create a wetter mix, and a vintage tremolo that delivers splashy pulses.  

Ironman II attenuators

Two power attenuators, one for each channel, grant even more flexibility. Adjust the Sky King from 1W to 35W over six steps to achieve a maxed tube tone at any volume. Great for home-friendly playing.

Excellent so far. But sounds V good at home. Very well made.

Trusted Customer7th Nov 2015

Great demo by the sales person at Andertons and left alone for 30min unhindered to try the amp out at my own leisure. The Amp is fantastic, the tone is to die for and its versatility is amazing. You pay a lot of money for one of these amps, but it's money well spent.

Trusted Customer17th Aug 2015

This amp brings a smile to my face every time I play it! The hardware is top quality and all the controls work beautifully. The breadth and depth of sound from the rhythm channel is astonishing with clear, bright top notes and a warm low end that's made my strat come to life. The lead channel has plenty of headroom to cut through the mix and the attenuator allows you to match the volume if you want to add overdrive; that said it's not great for an overdriven rhythm sound in this channel but I guess it hasn't been designed for that anyway. I've gigged it three times now and it's sounded fantastic every time. Although it has an eye watering price tag, and you don't even get a cover included, I wish I'd bought one years ago!

Never played better, it's absolutely stunning!
