The Royalist Tube Preamp Pedal captures the soul of Tone King’s beloved Royalist MKIII amplifier - the company’s most authentic take on the golden age of British tone. From the sweet, singing JTM45, through the unmistakable Plexi crunch, to the searing drive of the Super Lead, this high-voltage tri-tube preamp pedal delivers the full spectrum of British rock attitude in a compact, pedalboard-friendly format. Running on three 12AX7 tubes at proper high voltages, the Royalist Preamp brings the complete touch sensitivity, harmonic bloom, and dynamic punch of the Royalist MKIII amp to your pedalboard. Each of its two independent channels features the amp’s FAT switch and three-way 1964/1967/1970 voicing selector, faithfully reproducing the gain structure, tone stack, and feel of the original circuits. Whether you’re chasing sparkling cleans, punchy crunch, or molten roar, the Royalist Preamp delivers the unmistakable voice of British rock, anywhere, at any volume.
