Power supply included.

The Constable sounds exactly like a 4 input non master volume Marshall 1987X or 1959.

It sounds like a 4 input Marshall all cranked up without the ear shattering volume of any use of an attenuator.

The Constable uses two 12AX7 tubes running at high voltage (around 270VDC) to get the most authentic valve tone out of its hand wired circuit.

Overview

The Kingsley Constable is a tube guitar preamplifier modeled after the classic "plexi" design of the late 1960's. It is designed to push a power amplifier directly but may also be used into the effects return of a guitar amplifier effects loop.
While the most authentic plexi tones are achieved by using one of the above methods, the Constable also features a mode of operation that attenuates its output to allow it to be run into the front end of a guitar amplifier or in front of other guitar effects pedals, for a clean boost or mild to medium drive pedal.

Update to V2
V2 has a more versatile feature set, including switchable Master Volumes and an additional treble reponse mode.

Features

The full feature set of a plexi preamplifer is provided, including controls for Volume 1, Volume 2, Treble, Middle and Bass.

There are now two Master volumes - the front panel "Master" as well as a second Master volume on the back panel, which is activated by stepping on the left footswicth.

This gives the ability to footswitch between two different output levels, which can be used for rhythm and lead volumes, or for two levels of drive when using the Constable to drive a power amp into overdrive.

"Volume 1" is the brighter of the two volumes and "Volume 2" is darker with a full bass response. "Volume 1" features a choice of two bright caps, selectable via the 3-way "Bright 1" switch.
