The Imperial All-Tube Preamp pedal delivers Tone King’s legendary MKII amplifier's
'50s tweed, '60s blackface, and vintage British rock tones in a compact, pedalboard-
friendly format. It features the exact preamp section and phase inverter circuitry of
the Imperial MKII amp, as well as Reverb, Tremolo and Attenuation, resulting in a
pedal that sings with harmonic richness and blooming touch response. Powered by
three 12AX7 preamp tubes running at high voltage, this preamp delivers the amp's
sound, responsiveness, and exquisite interaction with your pickups and effects. The
onboard, low-latency impulse response (IR) loader (per channel), Headphones, easy
integration and expansion with your existing gear, and MIDI capabilities, takes these
iconic tones into the new era of guitar playing.

Legendary Vintage Tube Amp Tones

The Imperial Preamp Pedal features two distinct channels, each mirroring the '50s
and '60s flavors of the Imperial MKII.

• The Rhythm Channel evokes the essence of a classic '60s blackface combo's
  pristine cleans with a touch-sensitive response that transitions smoothly into
  overdrive.
• The Lead Channel is inspired by the iconic tweed amps of the '50s’ with the
  ability to glide between warm articulate cleans and aggressive midrange
  bark. This channel's Mid-Bite control adds a further layer of tone shaping,
  focusing the low-end, while adding high-end presence and gain for a British-
  flavored rock crunch.
