Mooloolaba Music is excited to offer the Tone King Royalist Tube Preamp For Guitar, a pedal that expertly encapsulates the essence of Tone King’s cherished Royalist MKIII amplifier, renowned as their most authentic representation of the golden age of British tone. This high-voltage tri-tube preamp pedal captures the entire range of British rock sound, from the sweet tones of the JTM45 to the unmistakable Plexi crunch and the searing drive of the Super Lead, all within a compact, pedalboard-friendly design.
Powered by three 12AX7 tubes operating plate voltages at the same high voltages as the real amp, the Royalist Preamp brings to your pedalboard the same touch sensitivity, harmonic bloom, and dynamic punch found in the Royalist MKIII amp. Featuring two independent channels, each equipped with the amp's FAT switch and a three-way voicing selector that models the sound of famed years—1964, 1967, and 1970, The Royalisy Preamp faithfully reproduces the gain structure, tone stack, and feel of the original amp circuits.
For those who appreciate era-accurate craftsmanship, the Royalist boasts two identical channels, each uniquely voiced with its own dedicated tone stack. The upper channel is inspired by vintage classics like the JTM45, Bassman, and Super Bass, while the lower channel showcases a modern British Lead tone stack. While players can achieve similar sounds from both channels, their subtle nuances offer two distinct British tonal profiles—one characterized by clarity and articulation, and the other with a punchier midrange presence.
Additionally, this preamp features Tone King’s innovative “Zero Watt Power Amp,” a genuine phase inverter circuit that utilizes one of the three 12AX7 tubes. This design captures the harmonic complexity and dynamic interplay between the preamp and power stage, a vital element of authentic British tone that many preamp pedals fail to replicate. As a result, players can enjoy the full impact of a saturated Royalist power section without overwhelming volume levels.
Don’t hesitate to reach out to Mooloolaba Music today for a comprehensive overview and the opportunity to test this remarkable pedal.
