The Tone King Royalist Preamp brings the sound and feel of the Royalist MKIII amplifier to a compact, high-voltage pedal format built for today’s stage and studio workflows.
Powered by three 12AX7 tubes running at full amp voltages, the Royalist delivers authentic tube touch sensitivity, harmonic bloom, and dynamic response — without the volume of a cranked amp.
Real Power-Stage Feel — No Speaker Required
At its core is Tone King’s Zero-Watt Power Amp, a genuine tube-driven phase inverter circuit that recreates true power-stage compression and interaction. Players experience the feel of an overdriven British amp — at any volume.
Three Eras of British Tone. Two Fully Independent Channels.
Each channel features:
- Volume, Bass, Middle, Treble
- 1964 / 1967 / 1970 voicing switch
- FAT switch for added body and punch
From warm, vintage-inspired cleans to aggressive classic crunch and tight arena-ready drive, the Royalist delivers the evolution of British rock tone in one pedal.
Direct-Ready for Stage and Studio
The Royalist includes low-latency Impulse Response (IR) cabinet simulation with 20 curated OwnHammer IRs, six onboard IR slots, and stereo balanced XLR outputs for direct connection to FOH or recording interfaces. The IR section can also be bypassed for use with traditional power amps and cabinets.
Modern Control, Maximum Flexibility
- Save up to 128 MIDI presets
- Stereo series effects loop (bypassable)
- Reverb with assignable routing and trails
- USB-C connectivity with Tone King Editor software
- Headphone output for silent practice
Equally at home on silent stages, in the studio, or integrated into traditional rigs, the Royalist Preamp delivers the unmistakable voice of British rock — anywhere, at any volume.
