The Tone King Imperial Preamp brings the preamp and phase-inverter circuitry of the Imperial MKII amplifier to a pedalboard-format unit. Three high-voltage 12AX7 tubes power two independent channels, with the Rhythm channel providing Bass and Treble controls and the Lead channel adding Tone and Mid-Bite controls. Built-in digital tremolo, convolution spring reverb, attenuation, power amp simulation, and a low-latency IR loader provide an integrated direct-recording and performance platform. The Imperial also features a stereo effects loop, balanced XLR outputs, headphone output, MIDI control, USB-C connectivity, and support for up to 128 MIDI presets.
