Imperial MK II Head
By Tone King Amplifier Company
A head version of the Imperial MKII, pairing footswitchable blackface/tweed-voiced channels, tube reverb and tremolo, and a built-in Iron Man II attenuator with your own cabinet.
About this amp
The Imperial MKII Head carries the same 20-watt, two-channel all-tube voicing as the Imperial MKII combo — a higher-headroom, blackface-style Rhythm channel and a tweed-flavored Lead channel, both footswitchable — into a head format for players who want to choose their own cabinet. It includes tube-driven spring reverb, bias-modulation tremolo, and a built-in Iron Man II reactive attenuator with HF compensation and rhythm-channel bypass.
