WELL SORTED Interested in a Tone King Imperial mk2

hotpickups

Been researching muchly this week and I feel the next amp for me, taking into account its great attenutator for home playing too, is is very likely going to be the Tone King Imperial mk2. Give me a shout if you hear of any going or are selling one yourself please.

Missed a few I know that have gone on here but C'est La Vie

Thanks

I believe the MKii came after the 20th anniv and is different in a number of respects, including the core clean sound - Google will tell you all you need to know about the differences I'm sure.

I never do Nigel. However, I may have bought something else before too long. LOL. That's Gas for you

But I prefer the ironman II on the mk2

I was thinking about the 20th anniversary version but I gather it doesn't have the ironman II bypass feature which the mk2 has so I think it'll have to be the Mk II version Just thought I'd clear that up

I've got the mark 1 an have to say it's a truly ace amp. I have an original 66 fender Princeton and I've been looking for something a little bigger for ages. It's sounds great on both channels, that now really any help with your search for a mark 2 but you'll be a happy bunny when you get one

Thanks. Ive been talking to someone on the sale of their mk2 but logistics of picking it up is proving difficult. Definitely looking for the mk2 though for the attenuater

I have a 20th anniversary and I got a kit from Tone King to add the attenuator bypass switch from the mk2. About us$90 I think.

@allen Have you got a link to that as this sounds interesting? Who fitted it for you?

Decided against the Rambler now Warren. Thanks for the heads up though

Sorry to hijack - but would this work with a Mk1 Imperial + external Iron Man 2 (mini)? :-)

Not sure if you'd be interested but I have a Tone King Metropolitan head which I might consider letting go. It's 40 watts rather than 20 watts but has separate attenuators for each channel. From what I've read/heard of the Imperial, there should be alot of overlap between the two in terms of the tones available. Maybe someone with experience of both could chime in.

@eric If it was the combo version I may have been interested. Not really into heads and carrying their cabs around. Th`inks for the offer though 

hotpickups

Sorted now. So no more offers of GAS please

Hope it meets with your expectations. 



And you don't get 20th anniversary lust anyway...

What do you mean @Fretfinder i.e. lust?

fretfinder

I mean if you find the MKii isn't as good as you expected and start wondering if a 20th anniversary would have fitted the bill. Doesn't everyone lust after amps from time to time?!
