If you're a D*A*M forum member he'll knock $50 off per pedal, not sure how long that's gonna last tho. I just got mine from the recent second batch and my King's Head is orange instead of green like univalve's plus he's using NOS Telefunken OC604s in the third transistor spot now cuz he favors them to the CV5712 in the first batch.
Here's how it's looking for the second batch release...
The SM absolutely RULES with a darker amp that's breaking up a little, kills with my Hovercraft Dwarvenaut 20W. It's gotta med gain Model T voice in low gain settings, Orange OR/Matamp in higher settings, tons of bass, nice loose sag without low end flab, really good. The SM voicing is perfect with it, tightens it up, adds a buncha gain and clarity, makes it cut right through, basically turns it into a versatile two channel gain monster.
And the KH through my V4 and Dunwich Metro....Oh my!
Loving these fuzzes!

In a year or so I'll get one of these or maybe a Black Acid? How would you both compare those Monolith to the Black Acid? Black Acid better suited for stoner?

I think the Black Acid and the King's Head would both be suitable for thick stoner/sludge stuff, those two are more comparable with the Santa Muerte being something all together different. If you were after two pedals and deciding between the three, I would def get the Santa Muerte then decide between the BA and KH.
While similar in sound, they're quite different in design and the KH isn't quite as nasty/loose/saggy as the BA (all cool attributes btw) but the KH is a little smoother and holds things together better. They aren't light years apart tho. The KH is def more versatile in my setup even with the one less contro cuz the fuzz/gain range is bigger and more versatile. The BA requires the fuzz pretty much maxed at ALL times (like most FF circuits) and the gain knob just thickens it up from there.
One note, my Black Acid is a clone but I have compared it to the original and they're near identical.
