Experience the classic American tube amp voice in a modular format with the Synergy Tone King Imperial MKII Preamp Module. Inspired by the revered Tone King Imperial MKII amplifier, this preamp module delivers responsive, harmonically rich tone that shines from clean to driven sounds. Built with all-tube circuitry and thoughtful design, it pairs beautifully with Synergy preamp systems for players seeking authentic vintage vibes in a compact package.
This module features two independent channels — a Rhythm channel modeled after shimmering blackface-era cleans with warm lows and crisp highs, and a Lead channel that captures mid-century tweed-style overdrive with thick harmonics and natural touch-sensitive breakup. Each channel has its own set of intuitive controls including Volume, EQ and Attenuation, making it easy to dial in both balanced cleans and aggressive tones alike for stage or studio use.
Vintage character is further enhanced with true analog bias tremolo that can be assigned to either or both channels, adding organic movement and depth to your tone. The Lead channel includes Synergy’s proprietary Mid-Bite control for sculpting overdrive character, while HF Comp and Cathode Select switches let you tailor high-end response and bass feel for maximum tonal flexibility. Whether you’re chasing classic blues, roots rock or expressive tube breakup, this module delivers inspiring performance and versatile tone shaping.
