Their shimmering highs, rich harmonic content and dynamic touch response, have become some of the most sought-after tones in guitar history. The ROYCE tri-tube preamp pedal authentically captures that legacy sound with the depth, feel, attack and chime of the original AC circuit, enhanced by the unmistakable Tone King experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eRunning on three 12AX7 tubes at high voltage, the ROYCE preamp brings the dynamic response and three-dimensional feel of a world-class 1906’s tube amp. Two independent channels, each featuring Normal and Top Boost modes, stereo reverb \u0026amp; tremolo, per-channel IR loading, MIDI, Tone King’s legendary attenuation and comprehensive routing options for integrating ROYCE with your existing amp or preamp make it an exceptionally versatile tone machine for modern rigs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p4\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwo Classic AC Voices\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eA NORMAL\/TOP BOOST mode switch is featured on both identical ROYCE channels, providing a wide array of tonal configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eNORMAL mode delivers bold, powerful clean tones with exceptional punch and harmonic depth.

This genuine phase inverter stage recreates one of the most important and overlooked ingredients of great amplifier tone: the way a preamp, phase inverter and power section push against and interact with each other. Notes compress naturally, chords bloom with complexity and the pedal responds to pick attack and guitar volume changes with the same organic behavior as a great tube amplifier pushed into its \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003esweet spot.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStereo Reverb \u0026amp; Stereo Tremolo\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eA lush stereo reverb and expressive vintage tremolo deliver the spacious, dimensional effects that have become inseparable from many of the most iconic clean and edge-of-breakup tones.
