When Tone King released the original Imperial combo 20 years ago, Tone King felt we had made one of the best-sounding American-voiced amps on the market. But... thanks to the experience and knowledge that two decades of amp building offers, we knew we could do better. Tone King is proud to offer the new and improved Imperial MKII. Everything you know and love about the original is still there.
The spanky blackface-style voice, the gritty tweed tones, all of it; however, the MKII takes it all a few steps further. Its two channels have been tuned for better-sounding overdrive, a smoother top end, and more harmonic complexity. The amp's vintage-voiced tube reverb and tremolo will cause you to question whether you’re actually playing a vintage amp.
Thanks to the Imperial MKII’s onboard Ironman II power attenuator, you can get all of these tube-driven tones at any volume. When your company is built upon the legacy of an amp like the Imperial, you’d better be sure you honor your past while always improving. With the Imperial MKII, we did.
Ironman II reactive attenuation:
We included our Ironman II power attenuator aboard the Imperial MKII for even more flexibility. Now you can bring your Imperial’s maxed tube tones to band- or home-friendly levels. With our reactive load technology, your amp with sound and respond the same at any volume.
Onboard spring reverb and tremolo:
Spring reverb and bias-modulated tremolo are two sounds that define the tone of many vintage American-voiced combo amps. We think, with its tube-driven circuits and old-school control, you’ll find the Imperial MKII gloriously re-creates those thick, splashing, pulsating tones.

Greatest sounding amp I’ve ever owned.
Turning this amp on for the first time was like a dream. It gives me every fender tone I want. The built in attenuator is a game changer.

Best amplifier iPhone
I’ve been playing 40 years. 30 those years professionally I’m also an instructor. I don’t boutique Amps such as Matchless. My first real amplifier was a Fender deluxe reverb. No I was very young, I don’t remember it taking me places the imperial does. I had a mesa boogie mach 3 and a Vox AC 30, my l...

Great amp combo with lots of features
Tone King Imperial MkII. I got a "black" one from the "scratch and dent" stock. But it had no dents and no scratches. Excellent. But when I played low notes with clean settings, it would buzz too much. Maybe a tube got damaged in shipping. It was serial number 8072206017. I returned it last week and...
