- I'm demoing the brand new Tone King Royalist MkIII head that is launched TODAY!! (Sept 13th 2023). In this video I play it with a Gibson Les Paul 1959 Standard Reissue. I'm using three different cabs; 1971 Marshall 1960B, 1964/1967 Marshall 4x12 with Celestion Alnico Blues and Silvers and a 1972 Dan Armstrong with T1976 Greenbacks.
I keep returning to this video over and over because this amp is so epic, it's like three Marshall eras all in one. All sound authentic. Tremendous.
Sounds absolutely incredible!!!
Thanks! Great to hear that!
That amplifier sounds fantastic, make no mistake. However, I bet anything you run through those wonderful speakers and cabinets would sound fabulous too! 😃
just got teh head and 2x12...what can i say brothers...it is everything you need from a plexi marshall from the 60's to 70's
I've heard many fantastic amps on your channel & this one sounds phenomenal; such rich satisfying tones. Cheers Johan!
Thanks James! Great to hear that. Cheers!
It's finally cooled down a little in Texas and nothing could be finer than hearing you jam through that amp first thing this morning. Beautiful. Thank you
Thanks my friend!
Cheers!
LOL, yeah, "cooled down" to 95°F.
Texas, I've been in Houston for the last six weeks, Holy You KNow What 101f at night 110f day, no rain, humidity off the charts. Can't outside. Todays was a frigid 80F, flew home to Michigan 56F
Yup 😂😂
The title speaks true Johan, it did blow my mind. The last setting on the 67 mode in the video was badass!
Glad to hear that! Cheers!
That's a breath of fresh air. To finally hear a modern amp which can replicate the old Marshalls and do it well. - I like the twin attenuators, a great design feature.
Thanks, it is indeed!
Royal Amps make some killer vintage Marshall clones as well as Hiwatt. They have Jimmy Page series and they nail his live tones . They have a clone of his Hiwatt a clone of his 69 super lead when it was stock and they have a version of his 69 Marshall after it was modded for more clean headroom and KT88 tubes . All 3 nail those 4 eras of his tone . The modded 69 Marshall clone is slightly Closer out of the 3 but all three are super close .Metropolis makes some amazing sounding Marhshall clones I saw some Videos of JD Simo testing out some Metropolis heads and they sounded deadly close to the originals.
This hits all the sweet spots, thanks for cranking it up!
Thanks man! I’m so glad you like it!
Really nice sounding amp it sounds fantastic through all the cabs to me. Thanks
Thanks, glad to hear it!
That amp is incredible...hits ALL the tones...great demo!
Thanks, glad to hear that!
Amazing Johan! The 67 really sounded like a great plexi. I would love to hear more of the higher gain 64 as that sounded really sweet. Thanks!
Thanks Eddie! More of the 64 is coming up
I already have a Bogner Helios, so I don't need another plexi-inspired amp, but this sounds great! Tone King makes wonderful amps. My Imperial MK II is the best amp I've ever owned.
Thanks, glad to hear it!
Gorgeous tones!
Thanks Andrea!
Johan, incredible playing. You make everything sound great!! You pushed me to buy the Carr Mercury V, now you're gonna get me into trouble all over again 😜. Looking forward to hearing you play a Strat into that amp. Take care and hope all is well.
Thanks! Great to hear that. Cheers!
Man this is a must have amp for me!! Great demo!!!
Thanks Charles, glad to hear it!
Amazing Marshall tones amp and Carlsberg beer! Cheers! 🍻
Thanks man! The perfect combination!
Very nice tone from the king of the blues.👍👍🎸🎸🙏🌹🌹⚘🌹⚘🌹🤟🤟
Thanks, glad you like it!
Stunning.
Damn you Segeborn and your meddling ways; I've already bought at least two amps because of your hypnotic videos and your snake charmer playing.
Impressive apparent lack of unwanted noise from this amp in the recordings, I like the sounds shown here a lot.
Thanks yeah it’s impressively noise free even at very high volumes
Ph.D Johan that amp is quite the platform piece. I am digging that 4x12 with vintage blues and silvers. That 67 with the set of in the groove classic rock was dope out awesome sounding.
Thanks glad you like it!
Sounds truly great!!
(Although I guess with those cabs almost anything will ; )
Thanks, glad to hear it!
Yep. Mind blown. One classic amp to rule them all.
Thanks Greg!
Sounds great as always Johan.
Thanks! Glad to hear that!
Damn! I thought my Tone King Imperial II sounded good. 😂Amazing demo Johan.
Thank you.
Thanks Joseph! Really good to hear that!
@@JohanSegeborn you’re welcome. Keep Rockin!!!!
Absolutely steller stuff from Tone King! Now I really want one of these! I've always thought the Fargen Mini Plex had a cool concept with the decade switch and love to see this concept in the Tone King.
Off topic but a cool suggestion for you Johan, what about a video on the bang for the buck tone of the Bassman Ten? It's not the "desirable" Bassman but still has fantastic tone for guitar and is very cheap for a vintage Fender! The closed back 4x10 even gives it a tiny bit of the Marshallesque vibe.
Cheers Johan!
Thanks that’s a really good idea! Cheers!
My goodness, holy smokes: that sounds meaty!
Both amp and players are tone kings. I could only imagine what that amp sounds live.
Thanks that’s kind of you!
👍Marshall should come out with something like this!!!!!👍
lol, youd think they should want to
Johan's secret weapon....Crocs! The amp basically sound more or less identical to what it tries to imitate, however it provides much more gain. There is some special sorcery going on under the hood.
Hahaha! Cheers
That's a good amp. Thanks for choosing Tone King for review. A different speaker(s) cabinet would be nice to compare the amp through any non-Marshall set up.
Damn that thing sounds incredible. To bad it's probly way out of my price range tho. Hey man you should do a video of that new tonex profiler pedal. I know that's not your gig, but something like that is the only way I'd have anything close to an amp like this. Plus I'd love to hear you play thru the tonex and hear your opinion. Great video as always man...
Thanks Michael, glad to hear that. I’ll keep the Tonex in mind!
Would love to hear some more of the 1970. Question; Do you know if the 1964 is the only mode that uses the tube rectifier similar to how the Marshalls stopped using them? Just a curiosity. Great playing as always though, and Im looking forward to more demos. CHEERS!
Thanks, glad you like it! The preamps replicates the originals so I’m pretty sure only the 64 has the tube rectifier. Cheers!
Thanks bro
Thanks brother
This amp seems to check all the boxes if your looking for a boutique, vintage-styled, Marshall-type amp. The 3-way tone switch adds more dimensional possibilities and flavors to the amp and dual attenuators is cool. I wonder if the tube rectifier is used for all 3 settings or just for 1964 to be vintage-correct. I understand that Tone King uses military grade PCB's for this amp. It would be a lot more expensive if it were handwired, but better...who knows? The Magnatone Super Fifty-Nine M80 competes with the Royalist, but it's not as flexible, there's no attenuator yet it's pricier because it's handwired. Dr. Z's EMS amp would compete closely too, but I'm pretty sure they're out of production.
Great demo of a great amp. I'm really impressed, this amp is something else. Thanks Johan!
Thanks Bengt! Glad you like it
Sucks that they put the power and standby switches on the back. I have my amps mounted in racks. I can't get back there.
Once again Johan brilliant demo, I love your passion and of course your playing and knowledge. The amp is a killer, think I’ll have to start saving for this King. 👍🏻👍🏻
A plethora of vintage Marshall tones. Awesome demo of this amps capabilities
Thanks glad you like it!
Johan ...did you happen to like Ace Frehley?
I LOVE Ace!
My favorite Marshall tones all in one amp. This is a must buy for me
Glad to hear it!
@JohanSegeborn you killed it, it's the perfect amp demo 👏
Great tones Johan! It really pulls off the Plexi sound very well! Great playing as usual :) Thanks Johan.
Thanks Jeff! Great to hear that
Well done! Your demo of this amp is the best on TH-cam.
Thanks, really good to hear that!
Amp sounds amazing, as does your playing through it and also the great speakers to demo it all through. But in my opinion, the true hero in this video is actually the cabinets - you can hear/feel the woodsy aging in them. I cannot think of better sounding cabs than these!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Amazing playing as usual johnan your guitar skills are worth watching on their own
Thanks Paul! Makes my day to hear that
Have always loved your channel and your demos, Johan. You have always gotten some fantastic sounds, but there's something about this amp that really seems special. Seems to have more gain than the old Marshalls, and it definitely seems to have more sustain. Smoooooth on every setting. This might be the best tone I've heard yet, and that is saying a LOT considering what all you've put in here.
Did the room sound impress you as much?
Thanks, really good to hear that! It sounded basically the same in the room. Very nice and easy to play
Wow an amazing set of sounds in one amp! I need to try this asap! Well done Johan 👍🏼
Thanks Mark! Glad to hear it!
Ah, the 1970 sound... I live for that!
Many thanks, Johan!
Edit: are the "years" foot-switchable?
Glad to hear it! You can switch between channel A and B and each can set its preamp. So yeah between two of them
Wow awesome. All the classic Marshall tones not being made by a marshall 🤔. The team at Marshall really need a more inventive line to go with there vintage classic amps we all love. Brilliant demo Johan
Thanks Darren! This is definitely the benchmark today
wowowowowowowow!
Cheers
I want to buy this amp but the printed circuit board makes me afraid if a component needs to be replaced it would be a nightmare. I’m not that knowledgeable but hear tech say that a lot. Has anyone had any problems with them so far ? I’m really tempted to get one.
I like the way the Scrabble Google girl doesn't know how to say travel doesn't know how to say trouble she doesn't know what a treble knob is she found it notes sound voice messaging in Google girl does not mix at all so never try to record with Google girl hopefully you got that
Really nice. Did you have the attenuators wide open on these clips?
Thanks, yeah here it was full volume!
That sounds glorious! What a golden age of fear this is
Thanks!
"Golden age of fear" - wow, that's poetry :-)
Nice amp
But for 2,500.00 IDK.
1967 horrible school, great guitar sounds.
Cheers Stephen! 😂
Fantastic rich tones 🎸👍 Thanks again, Johan, for your tasteful playing!
Thanks, really good to hear that!
Hi Johan: great amp, enhanced by your playing ! Incidentally: have you/do you suffer from Tinnitus...? Cheers
Thanks glad you like it! I do suffer from tinnitus but it’s actually pretty related to muscle tension so some of it it can be relieved
@@JohanSegeborn Sorry to hear that. It bothers me 24/7. Did not find a way to relieve it yet…
Was going to get it then alas... NO effects loop! Why?!
I hear this maps awesome. Who better to demo it than Johan ?
And blow my mind it did! The amp seems extremenly versatile with the three essential preamps and separate attenuation for each channel! 👍 Top quality hands down. Those complex overtones at 6:10 are just ace 😉 and the classic 67 mode seems to suit you and your LP especially well IMO! Rock on Johan!
Thanks Alan! Really good to hear that
The Royalist couldn't have a better reviewer.
Beatiful amp and sounds great! What is your opinion on impulse responses vs. real cabs Johan? It would be interesting to compare the line out from this amp (presumably it is post reactive load?) with some IRs against your miked sounds
Thanks! For some styles the IRS are pretty good actually but for classic hard rock it’s not there yet I think. I think the line out is pre iron man
@@JohanSegeborn Thanks. I wonder if it is because of the room sounds vs. Something like metal which is more close miked?
Given the success and popularity of convolution reverbs though I think it might be possible! There just aren't so many good room IRs to choose from 🤔
Would have been nice if this came out before I took out a mortgage to buy my 65 jtm45, 67 jtm50 and 69 superbass 100 😂
Hahaha! I bet those are good investments but as for musical purposes this amp replaces a lot of gear
Awesome amp!
What a cool amplifier. If I was thinking and able to buy a new high-end amplifier it would probably be a toss-up between the Tone King or the Silktone amp.
Thanks Ron!
I always really enjoy your Les Paul + Marshall/Marshall-esque videos when I’m at work and can’t play guitar. If I can’t, I want Johan to play for me. :)
As for the Royalist, now we just need speakers that can switch their voicing alongside (and in tandem with) the head. THAT would be a trick.
Thanks my friend! And that last idea would be my holy grail 😀
Fantastic demo.
Love it. Recently bought a ToneKing Falcon Grande. Love it.
May have to get this for some Fantastic Marshall goodness.😊
Thanks James, glad you like it!
WOW 🤩
I’m really impressed with the sustain, nailed 70’s (T-Rex, Zeppelin, early AC/DC) tones from this amp and of course paired with a kick-ass vintage cabinet + good hands = magic 🪄
FANTASTIC DEMO, MAN
🤟😎
Thanks man! Glad to hear it
Great amplifier all the way around. Can't find anything I don't like. Great video Johan. Thank you. Cheers from Hawaii.
Thanks man! Cheers!
well done! that amp sounds amazing as well!!
Thanks! Glad you like it
Overdrive is fantastic! But I didn't like clean sound at all.
Pete gets a better clean tone on the combo in the Andertons video.
Lots of compression. Sounds pretty good. I was actually surprised I'm hearing those tones out of that amp.
Thanks!
Oh my god. Incredible. p.s. I hope you get change to try out the Marshall ST20H soon,
Thanks! Yeah I’d like to demo that one as well
3:02 ... That tone instantly reminded me of Rory Gallagher's sound :)
Really good to hear that!
¡¡Qué bien vives Johan!! ("What a marvelous life you have Johan!!"). I can not envy you more than I do😅
Thanks man! It’s great but more ordinary than it looks 😀
Loved that 1964 sound,very tasty playing,thanks for making this video.
Thanks Rolf! Glad you like it!
Sounds killer. Seems like it might be the ideal Marshall type amp to get. Price isn't too crazy either
Thanks! Yeah this covers basically all my tonal ground
just checked the price of this amp 2700.00 bucks in the states , whats a magnatone equivalent cost ? 4 grand, seems like a good deal ...
Beautiful tones. Very good captured with the mic placement. A little bit of ambience makes a lot of difference.
Thanks Nicholaus, yeah this room adds a great ambiance!
The cab it comes with comes with a celestion 1660 speaker, I wonder how that compares to a greenback. Ideally this amp should be played through greenbacks like you demonstrated! Nice demo johan!
Thanks glad you like it! As I understand it the 1660 is similar to the G12H75 Creamback. I compare the G12M65 Creamback to a vintage Greenback here.
th-cam.com/video/lgr-V40gsYQ/w-d-xo.html
Cheers!
I'm just guessing about the 1660, but based on the 60w power rating and its appearance, probably a Vintage 30. Vintage 30's are also currently very popular with boutique amp-makers. Greenbacks would be more papery and vintage-sounding if they are in fact like V30's.
Johan you always have/ demo the coolest gear! Never disappointed cheers
Thanks, glad to hear that! Cheers!
Is it plenty loud? Watts vary -
Shit, I just went and ordered one because of this video. Return Policy, so not concerned but so not me to impulsively jump on something. It just nailed to my ears what I’ve been wanting to hear from modern versions of those amps. Especially ones that say they do different era’s where they don’t really. Johan, your commission check is in the mail….lol
Congrats! You won’t regret it! Cheers!
I finally got to fire it up today and I certainly don’t! They got a lot right with this amp.
What about the 2023 setting where you can’t afford it
When you said that the 1970 was metal plate, do you mean the 2203 (JMP/JCM)? Or are you referring to some other Marshall? I'm not super familiar with all the models of that time :)
I don't know about 40 watt amp especially the modern 40 watts too loud if you're playing in stereo. I think the 40 watts is equivalent to 300 watts from years ago way more sensitive quality wiring. Now the 20 watt with attenuator would work for stereo
NOW you do it EARLY & I MISS it?? BAH!
Sorry man, I really wanted to be first with this demo!
@@JohanSegeborn Well, I DON'T blame you. It was GOOD! You beat Henning Pauly by several hours! LOL!
Rock on! \m/
Frankly it’s an act of conservation to buy this amp. 😎
Amen to that. Cheers
Dying to play this. I loved the mki. Not sure why I sold it. I ended up with metropolous amp with some channels. But now that this has two channels, i would like to set one for crunchy 64 setting with lower gain, then another for more of gained superlead
Love the channel! How do these stack up to the vintage Marshalls in feel and tone? I was close to buying a dr. z remedy but im seriously considering one of these now.
I'm actually literally cooking on the stove while he's cooking on that okay that's a bad excuse
Johan always makes it sound, Killer, lol been awhile, but I had to listen 🎶 always fantastic guitar work.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I wish you had all of the Satellite Amps stuff. There needs to be mote sound examples of their amps and you're who i would want to demonstrate their power.
This amp is probably the most useful for someone like me. I'm a marshall meets Friedman kind of guy.
Amazing amp ... amazing speakers ... amazing Johan!
Thanks my friend!
I don’t hear any chime or sparkling. It might be caused by the two Iron Men. I had the same issue when
I used an Iron Man attenuator with my amp.
Anything that gets into the path of sound kills it, bit after bit.. If you want the real deal, just plug straight in, you cant have your cake and eat it 🤠 ... it hurts your ears, though
Yeah very responsive I like that in an amp so are you can actually think what you're playing
Sounds like a really bad ass black face era fender amps you know that one that has that perfect tone so far a few minutes into the video
the tone at 4:20 is what I'm always looking for
Really good to hear that!
Does the amp feel like a JTM 45 in the '64 setting? And does it feel stiffer and more like a plexi in the other settings?
