Attenuation for each channel so you can get some serious tube saturation.  This preamp used three preamp tubes combined with a Zero Watt amplifier to give you real tube sound and feel.   Each channel has three distinct voicings which gives you a wide range of sounds between the two.  Allowing you instantly switch between Eras.   Connectivity is on point  with 1/4", Midi, USB, an Effects loop  and In/out's for connecting with other analog gear.  On top of that you get balanced XLR output for direct to PA or FRFR with OwnHammer IR Cab sim.   You can also bypass the IR's if you want to use the Royalist with other analog gear or another amplifier.  There is also the Tone King Editor Software so you can setup sounds and presets on your laptop or tablet,  They thought of everything.  You can actually leave your amplifier at home.  It comes with a power supply.   The Royalist preamp sounds incredible and accurate.  The feel and touch sensitivity are there.   You may never look back at your old rig.   Thanks for looking and happy buying!

Tone King Royalist PreampHigh Voltage Tri-Tube British Preamp PedalThe Sound of British Rock Royalty - Now on Your PedalboardThe Royalist Tube Preamp Pedal captures the soul of Tone King’s beloved RoyalistMKIII 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 searingdrive of the Super Lead, this high-voltage tri-tube preamp pedal delivers the fullspectrum of British rock attitude in a compact, pedalboard-friendly format.Running on three 12AX7 tubes at proper high voltages, the Royalist Preamp brings thecomplete touch sensitivity, harmonic bloom, and dynamic punch of the Royalist MKIIIamp to your pedalboard. Each of its two independent channels features the amp’sFAT switch and three-way 1964/1967/1970 voicing selector, faithfully reproducing thegain structure, tone stack, and feel of the original circuits. Whether you’re chasingsparkling cleans, punchy crunch, or molten roar, the Royalist Preamp delivers theunmistakable voice of British rock, anywhere, at any volume.
Three Eras of Iconic British ToneEach channel of the Royalist Preamp offers its own three-position voicing switch,mirroring the evolution of the British amp sound across decades:1964 - Smooth top end, lower gain, and a balanced, vintage warmth inspired byearly British blues amps.1967 - Crisp treble response, bold midrange, and the aggressive bite that definedrock’s formative years.1970 - Increased gain and tightness for that unmistakable, high-energy crunch ofarena-ready hard rock.Pair these voicings with each channel’s FAT switch option to add body and low-endwarmth to single-coil guitars or enhance sustain and punch with humbuckers.Era Accurate Tone StacksThe Royalist features two identical channels, each voiced with its own distinct tonestack. The top channel uses a vintage-accurate JTM45 / Bassman / Super Bassinspired EQ. The bottom channel reflects a later-era British Lead tone stack.While the two channels can be dialed remarkably close, their subtle differences giveplayers two authentic British flavors—one tight and articulate, the other more midforward.Built-In Zero Watt Power Amp — Phase InverterThe Royalist Preamp includes Tone King’s “Zero Watt Power Amp,” a genuine phaseinverter circuit powered by one of its three 12AX7 tubes. This design captures theRoyalist’s harmonic depth and dynamic interaction between preamp and powerstage — a key ingredient of true British tone that most preamp pedals can’t replicate.The result is the full experience of an overdriven Royalist power section, without theear-splitting volume.
Impulse Response (IR) Cabinet & Power Amp SimThe Royalist Preamp Pedal features Tone King’s low-latency IR and power ampsimulation engine, offering direct output to FOH, recording interfaces, or headphoneswith stunning realism. Preloaded with a curated selection of OwnHammer IRs listedbelow, each channel includes a 3-way IR selector for instant tonal changes.OH 412 Pinstripe H25: Celestion G12H-25's from 1967 captured in a pinstripe 1982B 4x12cabinet by Kevin Rowe of OwnHammer using Shure SM57, Telefunken MD421, andRoyer 121 microphones through mid-late 1970's API 312 preamps.OH 112 Imperial TK1660: Tone King 1660 captured in a Tone King Imperial 1x12 comboby Kevin Rowe of OwnHammer using Shure SM57, Neumann U87, and Royer 121microphones through mid-late 1970's API 312 preamps.OH 412 M75BB: 16-ohm, 1777 cone Celestion "black back" G12M-75's from 1975captured in a 412 cabinet by Kevin Rowe of OwnHammer using Shure SM57 andSennheiser MD421 microphones through mid-late 1970's API 312 preamps.There are 20 IRs to choose from in the included Tone King Editor software (poweredby Synergy) which are easy to swap in and out of the pedal's six available slots.
