Kingsley Minstrel V3 Tube Overdrive 2026

Power supply included.

There is a 12AX7 inside the pedal and runs at high voltage (around 240 VDC).

While the Minstrel V3 basically covers all the Minstrel V2 sounds (and then some), it is not identical. With the Sizzle switch in pos 1 it is a touch darker than the V2.
Then pos 2 and 3 add progressively more top end clarity.
So it can get darker but also brighter than V2. Probably the closest to the V2 sound is Sizzle pos 1, then brighten up a smidge with the 3-band EQ.

Overview

The Minstrel V3 is a tube overdrive pedal that features a single 12AX7 tube running at high voltage.
The tube is pushed into overdrive by an FET transistor.
The V3 Minstrel also features a second footswitchable "More" function that adds gain to the pedal's base tone, as well as a new "Sizzle" switch for a brighter and more open tone.
The hand wired circuitry and high quality construction are the same as that found in all the Kingsley tube pedals.
A very wide variety of tones are available, from mild and smooth to punchy and dynamic to aggressive rock tones.
The Minstrel operates off 9 VDC, which is stepped up inside the pedal for 240 VDC tube operation.
In this way a real and dynamic tube sound is achieved, comparable to that of some of the finest tube amplifiers.

 Features

The Minstrel V3 adds a couple of very useful features to the Minstrel V2 circuit...
First of all, as with the Harlot V3 there is now a second footswitch labeled "More" that footsiwtches in to the higher gain mode. The "More" pot sets the amount of gain added to the base OD, which is still set by the "Gain" pot.
New "Sizzle" mini switch has been added. This 3-way switch adds top end clarity/openess/bite.
