  • I finally got the chance to try the Monomyth Skeleton Key. Does this amp really not require a boost?
    Please keep in mind, I had ZERO time with this amp before I shot the video. I was just kicking tires and checking it out without having ANY knowledge of the features, except for a 5 minute crash course b4 the video.

    I am very picky when it comes to heaviness and aggression. The only amp that I want is the EVH stealth with the mudkiller...until this...when you were saying, "that's too much" I was screaming, "no, try it in a mix first!" this could be the only amp to equal the EVH Stealth. Would DIE to hear EVH vs. this Monomyth Skeleton Key!!

  • @sk8125

    I NEVER boost any of Shea’s builds and I own 4. Otherwise, I boost everything else. If you have the blood circuit on you kinda wanna leave the fire switch in the middle unless you are really tuned low cuz It gets bright. Also, you can absolutely dime the thunder and bass and have it stay tight. Shea is a great dude and builder. Open up the amp and look how clean the build is, it’s insane.

      @@RozsaAmplificationLLC yeah but some amps that are tight (Fortin) are thinner in the low end so boosting them takes out too much thump - even straight in they don't have the punch. Good to hear if this SK does.

    I don't know if the Monomyth Skeleton Key's input jacks react the same way as my Monomyth modded JCM800 but if you use the lower input , it should drop a gain stage( at least mine does) making the amp more manageable yet still aggressive and tight. I never see anyone utilize or demo amps using the lower input, which I prefer using. Sounded brutal!! Usually my breakfast dictates NOT using an OD with mine! 😅lol

    • @ReinerCritides
      @ReinerCritides 13 дней назад

      I only use the lower input on my SK, has a more Plexi voicing and still gets crazy gainy with the boost on the back enabled.
      I find the top input more JCM800ish, but bright and probably better for lower tunings.

      What in the actual fvck do you mean sounds "sterile" lol? I think you have no idea what you're actually hearing let alone what you're saying bud. This amp is made from some of the best components with the tightest tolerantces available to the general public. It's so damn HiFi and 3D it's actually insane, I mean just listen to how tight it stays with that absolutely BONKERS amount of gain on tap. You can dial it in to whatever sound you want, it's completely up to the individual. I think you just arnt a fan of how he specifically has it dialed. I recommend you try one for yourself and give it a test drive and you will see bro. One of the best high gain amps being made today, and I predict it becoming a legend honestly.

      @@PerfectCircle91 And with all that, This "to me sounds sterile" I own a multitude of tube amplifiers, Tonex pedal and amplitude five. I have owned many other tube amps over the years and listen to all of these demo's. In my opinion and obviously different from yours it sounds sterile. Everyone doesn't like the same food or drink. Sterile.
