Tone King Imperial Tri-tube Preamp and DI Pedal

The Tone King Imperial Tube Preamp distills the soul of the Imperial MKII amp into a compact, pedalboard-friendly format without sacrificing feel, depth, or authenticity. Using real tubes running at proper high voltage and the actual preamp and phase inverter circuitry from the amp, it delivers blooming cleans, rich tweed grit, and vintage British-flavored drive with stunning touch sensitivity. Add built-in reverb, tremolo, IR cabinet simulation, and full MIDI control, and you’ve got a no-compromise solution for stage, studio, or silent rigs.
