Classic British Chime with Real Tubes

The Tone King Royce brings the unmistakable character of vintage British combo amplifiers to your pedalboard. Inspired by the legendary AC30 sound, this high-voltage tri-tube preamp delivers everything from shimmering cleans and rich harmonic textures to expressive, touch-sensitive overdrive. Built around three 12AX7 vacuum tubes, the Royce captures the dynamic response, natural compression and musical breakup that have made classic British amplifiers a favourite among guitarists for generations.

Two Channels, Endless British Character

Featuring two independent channels with dedicated volume and tone controls, the Royce lets you shape everything from articulate, bell-like cleans to harmonically rich crunch. Switchable treble boost options add extra presence, bite and upper-midrange character, making it easy to push your sound into classic British rock territory. Built-in spring-style reverb and tremolo bring additional vintage amplifier character, delivering lush ambience and rhythmic movement without requiring additional pedals.

Authentic Tube Tone Meets Modern Flexibility

At the heart of the Royce is a genuine high-voltage tube preamp design paired with Tone King’s Zero-Watt Power Amp phase inverter technology, designed to reproduce the harmonic complexity and responsive feel of a driven tube amplifier without requiring traditional amplifier volume. With onboard impulse response cabinet simulation and direct output capabilities, the Royce brings classic British tube character into modern recording, live performance and silent practice environments.

Your British Amp, Wherever You Play

Designed for modern pedalboard integration, the Royce combines traditional amplifier-inspired controls with flexible connectivity and digital functionality. Whether you’re building a compact ampless rig, recording directly into an audio interface or expanding an existing amplifier setup, the Royce offers a versatile approach to authentic British guitar tones.
