Tone King Royalist MKIII 1 x 12-inch 40-watt Tube Combo Amplifier

The Royalist was the first Tone King amplifier to offer the best elements of British tone and was one of our most beloved amplifiers.

The new Royalist MKIII is a 40-watt, two-channel, all-tube amplifier that expands on that legacy by faithfully reproducing the iconic British tones of that era. Ranging from the sweet, singing JTM45 to the iconic “Plexi” sound, all the way to the raging “Super Lead”.

The Royalist MKIII authentically captures the vintage nature of these iconic amplifiers, delivering tones that span from clean to edge-of-breakup, to the bright-crunchy leads found on countless classic rock records that helped shape music history.
