Capture the essence of legendary American tube amplifiers with the Synergy Tone King Imperial 2-channel Tube Preamp Module. Designed for the discerning guitarist, this module brings the iconic Tone King Imperial MKII amplifier's tones to the convenience of a modular system. Whether you're chasing the sparkling clarity of blackface-era cleans or the gritty, saturated warmth of mid-50s tweed overdrive, this preamp delivers with remarkable authenticity.

The Imperial module features two independent channels that allow you to craft your sound with precision. The rhythm channel offers glassy highs and a robust low end, perfect for crisp chords and blues-inspired solos, while the lead channel is all about thick, harmonic-rich overdrive. Each channel is equipped with intuitive controls such as Volume, Tone, and the proprietary Mid-Bite feature, which lets you sculpt your overdrive from smooth warmth to aggressive rock crunch.

Adding depth to your sound is the true analog bias tremolo, a hallmark of vintage amps, which imparts a pulsing, organic modulation to your playing. Coupled with Synergy's Zero Watt Poweramp technology, this module replicates the Imperial MKII's power section dynamics, ensuring that every note blooms with natural tube compression and harmonics.
