Tone King Imperial Preamp Features:
Packs the sound and circuitry of Tone King’s Imperial MKII amplifier platform into a compact pedal form
Powered by three 12AX7 power tubes along with preamp and phase-inverter circuitry that exactly matches the full-size Imperial MKII
Rhythm Channel replicates the lush, glassy tone made famous by the black-panel amps of the 1960s
2-band EQ on the Rhythm Channel to precisely sculpt your sound
Lead Channel captures the grit and bark of 1950s Tweed-style amps
Lead Channel sports a Mid-Bite knob, which transforms its Tweed-style tone into hard-hitting British crunch, and a standard Tone knob
Each channel features an Attenuation control that allows you to easily send your sound into true tube saturation
Robust IR section includes six slots (three per channel) with access to 15 included OwnHammer IRs
USB-C gives you access to Tone King Editor to select IRs, modify parameters, and save up to 128 MIDI-accessible presets

Phase inverter comes equipped with a “0-watt power amp” to authentically capture the dynamism and harmonic depth of the full-size Imperial MKII
Tube-powered stereo convolution spring reverb and stereo tremolo instantly take your tone back to the golden age of tube amplification
Extensive I/O section, including two balanced XLR outs, MIDI in, a stereo series effects loop, USB-C, and a headphone out
Excels in a wide variety of setups, whether you’re going straight into the PA, elevating your amp’s versatility via its effects loop, or rocking an outboard power amp/cab
