Royalist Preamp

The Royalist Preamp runs three 12AX7 tubes at high voltage, capturing the full arc of British amp history in a pedalboard format. Based on the Royalist MKIII amplifier, each channel's three-position Era switch moves from 1964 JTM45 sweetness through 1967 Plexi crunch to 1970 Super Lead roar.

Two identical channels with independent Era voicing let you set up clean-to-crunch or crunch-to-lead combinations, foot-switchable on the fly. Built-in convolution reverb, an assignable stereo series effects loop, and three switchable OwnHammer impulse responses round out the tone shaping. The custom phase-inverter circuit powered by one of the three tubes adds real power-amp sag and feel.

Dual balanced XLR outputs with ground lift handle FOH and recording, while the headphone jack, USB-C (for Tone King Editor), and 5-pin MIDI with 128 presets make it equally at home on stage or in the studio.
