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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRunning 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHREE ERAS OF ICONIC BRITISH TONE.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach channel of the Royalist Preamp offers its own three-position voicing switch, mirroring the evolution of the British amp sound across decades:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1964: Smooth top end, lower gain, and a balanced, vintage warmth inspired by early British blues amps.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1967: Crisp treble response, bold midrange, and the aggressive bite that defined rock’s formative years.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1970: Increased gain and tightness for that unmistakable, high-energy crunch of arena-ready hard rock.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePair these voicings with each channel’s FAT switch option to add body and low-end warmth to single-coil guitars or enhance sustain and punch with humbuckers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eERA ACCURATE TONE STACKS.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Royalist features two identical channels, each voiced with its own distinct tone stack. The top channel uses a vintage-accurate JTM45 \/ Bassman \/ Super Bass inspired EQ. The bottom channel reflects a later-era British Lead tone stack.\u003cbr\u003eWhile the two channels can be dialed remarkably close, their subtle differences give players two authentic British flavors—one tight and articulate, the other more mid forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBUILT-IN ZERO WATT POWER AMP — PHASE INVERTER.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Royalist Preamp includes Tone King’s “Zero Watt Power Amp,” a genuine phase inverter circuit powered by one of its three 12AX7 tubes. This design captures the Royalist’s harmonic depth and dynamic interaction between preamp and power stage — 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 the ear-splitting volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo Channel High-Voltage preamp – DI\u003cbr\u003e3 x 12AX7 preamp tubes running at proper high voltages\u003cbr\u003eBuilt-In zero-watt power amp – phase inverter circuit\u003cbr\u003eTwo Independent channels with\u003cbr\u003eVolume, Bass, Middle and Treble Control\u003cbr\u003eThree-way 1964\/1967\/1970 voicing switch per channel\u003cbr\u003eEra Accurate Tone Stacks:\u003cbr\u003eTop channel – Vintage-accurate JTM45 \/ Bassman \/ Super Bass inspired EQ.\u003cbr\u003eBottom channel – Reflects a later-era British Lead tone stack.\u003cbr\u003eDual built-in Iron Man attenuators\u003cbr\u003eHF switches\u003cbr\u003eReverb control (assignable to each channel)\u003cbr\u003eMode switch turns ON\/OFF trails\u003cbr\u003eStereo, Series FX loop (bypassable)\u003cbr\u003eMIDI programmable\u003cbr\u003eSave up to 128 presets for instant recall via an external MIDI switcher\u003cbr\u003ePresets save:\u003cbr\u003eChannel selection\u003cbr\u003eMaster bypass setting\u003cbr\u003eIR selection\u003cbr\u003eIR bypass setting\u003cbr\u003eEffects loop bypass setting\u003cbr\u003eReverb bypass and tails settings\u003cbr\u003eOnboard Impulse Response (IR) Technology\u003cbr\u003eLow-latency Impulse Response cabinet simulation (bypassable)\u003cbr\u003e3-position CAB\/IR select switch per channel (programmable via software)\u003cbr\u003e20 Included OwnHammer IRs\u003cbr\u003ePower amp simulation with software editable HF Comp, Low-Pass and High-Pass filters (per channel)\u003cbr\u003eConnections:\u003cbr\u003eDual stereo balanced XLR outputs with Ground Lift Switch\u003cbr\u003e¼” Headphone output\u003cbr\u003eEffects Send and Stereo Return Jacks\u003cbr\u003eMIDI 5-pin standard connector\u003cbr\u003eUSB-C connector for use with the included Tone King Editor software editor\u003cbr\u003eTo Amp In, From Amp Send and From Amp Return Jacks – for adding Imperial channels to your amp or preamp\u003cbr\u003eIncluded\u003cbr\u003e6’ USB Cable\u003cbr\u003eUniversal 12V Power Supply\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 7.2” (W) x 5.7” (D) x 2.75” (H)\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 1.9 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tone King","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51973259493689,"sku":"ROYALISTPREAMP","price":599.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2244\/3885\/files\/Tone-King-Royalist-Tri-Tube-Preamp-Top.jpg?v=1772180203","url":"https:\/\/www.visionguitar.com\/products\/tone-king-royalist-tube-preamp-pedal","provider":"Vision Guitar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
