Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Royalist MKIII is a 40-watt, two-channel tube head built around clean, edge-of-breakup, and bright crunch sounds associated with vintage British amplifiers. Each channel can be voiced independently with its own three-position selector, then shaped further with the pull-FAT volume control for added low end at the first preamp gain stage. Separate Iron Man II attenuators let you drive the power tubes while passing only part of that volume to the speaker, making the two channels independently manageable.
