Jay, I got to play with a Steel King this weekend. The Tilt control is very cool. It's a very smooth overall EQ tilt. Turn it one way and the low end gets fuller and the top end gets darker, turn it the other way and the opposite happens. That in addition to the basic EQ controls makes it pretty flexible. Sam says it's centered around 400Hz as a "pivot" point. Nice old idea, but a first for a steel amp as far as I know.

I picked mine up yesterday and played it for about an hour. Getting a good tone is fast and simple. The amp seems to sound good almost anywhere you set the controls (within reason). The amp sounds clean, clear and fat. I also like the speaker voicing. Good job Fender!
