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\n\u003cp\u003eRunning on three 12AX7 tubes at high voltage, the ROYCE preamp brings the dynamic response and three-dimensional feel of a world-class 1960s tube amp. Two independent channels, each featuring Normal and Top Boost modes, stereo reverb and 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\n\u003ch2\u003eTwo Classic AC Voices\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA NORMAL\/TOP BOOST mode switch is featured on both identical ROYCE channels, providing a wide array of tonal configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNORMAL Mode:\u003c\/strong\u003e Delivers bold, powerful clean tones with exceptional punch and harmonic depth.
