Description

TONE KING IMPERIAL MK 2 RHYTHM TONEX PACK

This set is the quintessence of American, old-school Fender Blackface sound. It is based on the RHYTHM channel of the boutique Imperial Mk2 amplifier from Tone King and the entire speaker package.

The Imperial on the Rhythm channel is an extension of the legendary Deluxe Reverb sound.

Here you will find sweet, full, fat, clean tones and beautiful, juicy overdrive that brings to mind the best albums from the 70s.

The most famous users of this sound include: John Mayer, Billy Gibbons, The Edge. Don Felder, Neil Young, Eric Johnson,

Profiling was done in ADVANCED mode using OX BOX and my tweaked mic/cabinet presets.
No compromises here!
