Tone King Imperial MKII Tri-Tube Preamp Pedal
The Imperial All-Tube Preamp pedal brings the iconic tones of Tone King's Imperial MKII amp to your pedalboard.
From '50s tweed and '60s blackface to vintage British rock sounds, it captures the full character of these classic eras. It features the exact preamp and phase inverter circuitry of the Imperial MKII, complete with built-in reverb, tremolo, and attenuation, delivering rich harmonics and a dynamic, touch-sensitive response.
Powered by three high-voltage 12AX7 tubes, this pedal offers genuine amp-like tone and feel. With onboard low-latency impulse response (IR) loading for each channel, headphone out, MIDI compatibility, and seamless integration with existing setups, it’s designed to deliver true tube tone for both modern and traditional players.
The Lead Channel takes inspiration from the iconic tweed amps of the 1950s, offering everything from warm, articulate cleans to aggressive midrange growl. Its unique Mid-Bite control adds extra tonal flexibility, tightening the low end while boosting presence and gain—perfect for dialing in a British-style rock crunch.
The Rhythm Channel captures the clean, glassy tones of a classic '60s blackface combo. With its dynamic, touch-sensitive response, it delivers sparkling cleans that break up smoothly into rich overdrive when pushed.
