SynergyTone King Imperial Tube Preamp MKII Module
1/6
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Tone King Imperial MKII character arrives here as a two-channel, all-tube Synergy module. The rhythm side has Volume, Bass, Treble, and Attenuation controls; the lead side adds Volume, Tone, Mid-Bite, and Attenuation, giving the two channels their own working controls. A true analog bias-modulated tremolo can be assigned to either channel or both. Synergy’s 0-watt power-amp design uses phase-inverter circuitry and one 12AX7 to reproduce the original amp’s power-section behavior in the module format.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Synergy modular setups needing separate rhythm and lead channels with individual controls.
- Clean and driven passages that benefit from assigning tremolo to one channel or both.
- Recording, PA, or existing amp setups using the module’s 0-watt power-amp design.
