Description
A 2014 Tone King Royalist 45 tube head in fantastic shape. Aside from one tiny tolex blemish, the amp is in as-new condition. This amp has been cleaned and tested. It is fully functional and sounds great.
From Tone King...
The Royalist is inspired by the sound of the early Marshall amps, and you will certainly hear elements of the old Bluesbreaker, JTM45, and JMP50 in the sound of this amp. However, the Royalist is no mere clone of a vintage amp. It is very much a new design which captures the essence of those fine vintage amps, but goes further as well. I used the same approach to the design process as I always have in the past. It all starts with critical listening, in order to understand the qualities - good and bad - that define the sound of these iconic vintage British amps. Then, relying simply on engineering know-how and past experience, I developed circuit designs to deliver more of the good and less of the bad qualities, for an idealized version of those iconic tones we all know and love.
I made no attempt to duplicate the design or construction of the originals, since my goal was to go beyond the limitations of those classis designs. To top it off, I added a number of additional useful features. I developed a special version of the Ironman attenuator, with a reactive load tuned specifically for this amp, as well as an extremely transparent effects loop and a very useful line-out circuit.
