Steel King

I had a Steel King. I liked it OK but it was WAY TOO HEAVY for me. If Fender could make a great sounding steel amp that weighs 30 lbs, they would really have a winner.

I have a Steel King, I've used it on 5 gigs so far and really like the way it makes my guitar sound. I have two issues with it, however: it weighs too much, and its shape is very unweildy.

i am glad you guys keep posting about the FSK. I am thinking of retiring my Webb, can't get another new one. Man i hate to keep hauling it around to gigs. It gets banged, bumped. And folks always want to carry it for me...carry it right in between half closed doors, walls, heavy steel club doors. But i am so undecided between, the FSK, and peavey Nashville 1000. Can anyone give me an honest comparison? i have played through both..although not side by side.

Herb, I can vouch for your amp from an out front prespective. When I heard you the other night at Gruene Hall it sounded great. The highs were sweet and a good round tone on the bottom. Clear as a bell. It also could be that '64 Emmons or your technique could have something to do with it.
But we can agree to give the amp a thumbs up.

You guys are a perfect match! haha

I've had my FSK for a while now. All I use with it is a little delay unit. Awesome amplifier. Sweet, loud, and heavy.
