I play a double neck pedal steel guitar 'and have for 26 years. I've played through about every amp there is and the Fender Steelking is my favorite. I recently played an outside show and it performed better than any amp I have. I have done 32 studio sessions and my sound is better than it ever has been.The highs are bright and crisp and the lows are rich and clean. In my way of thinking its one of the best amps going today.
