ICONIC AMERICAN TONES.
Although labeled Rhythm and Lead, the Imperial MKII's dual-foot switchable channels could very well be called Blackface and Tweed. The more headroom rhythm channel speaks with the crystalline body and presence of the most popular amps of the mid-'60s. The Lead channel provides the spongy midrange response and sustain of the shriekiest models of the '50s. two feature simple tone-shaping controls, for impressive sound in any setting.
RESPONSIVE MITIGATION IRONMAN II.
The Ironman II reactive power attenuator gives Tone King amplifiers increased flexibility for any gig, session or rehearsal. And with its reactive charging technology and HF compensation, it does this while still retaining the sound and feel of your crank amp. Go ahead, turn up your amp to the sweet spot, then adjust the volume for thick, rich sound at usable levels.
SPRING REVERB AND BIAS MODULATED TREMOLO.
Spring reverb and bias-modulated tremolo helped define the sound of many vintage American-voiced combo amps. We worked in great detail to recreate those same thick, splashy, pulsating tones. And we think you'll find that our old-school tube circuits and controls perfectly capture the sound and character of the originals.
EMINENCE SPEAKER WITH CUSTOM VOICE.
Each Tone King combo amplifier is equipped with a 12-inch Eminence speaker, designed to deliver the premium sound our brand demands. From the moment you hit your first notes, you'll feel detailed harmonics, warm bass, and vocal mids all displaying impeccable sonic detail.
