Tone King Royalist Tri-tube Preamp and DI Pedal

Tone King’s venerable Royalist MKIII now fits on your pedalboard in the form of the Royalist Peamp pedal. This all-tube preamp pedal boasts a trio of 12AX7 tubes, delivering boutique-amp-quality tone complete with dynamic punch, touch sensitivity, and harmonic bloom. The Royalist is equipped with two independent channels, each with its own distinct tone stack and featuring three British-style tube-amp voicings from the 1960s and early 1970s. Each channel also boasts its own Fat switch for beefed-up bass response and Ironman-style Attenuator for whisper-quiet true tube saturation. Moreover, the internal phase inverter faithfully emulates the power section of Tone King Royalist MKIII, projecting true tube tone as you crank the volume. Additionally, the Royalist packs 128 MIDI-switchable presets, expanded editing parameters, IR control via the Synergy-powered Tone King Editor, and so much more. Lastly, the Royalist's expanded I/O section — considered a hallmark feature by many guitarists here at Music Bliss — contains dual XLR outs, a stereo series effects loop, a headphone jack, MIDI in, and USB-C to access the editor. From direct-to-desk tube tone to seamless rig integration, the Royalist Preamp delivers authentic, tube-fueled British rock ’n’ roll attitude whenever, wherever.
