The Royalist MKIII is a seriously impressive little amp. It nails that vintage British tone – think early Who, Hendrix – with a surprising amount of power and those killer EL34s. It’s ideal for players wanting authentic classic tones at manageable volumes, or for studio work where you want that raw, British vibe.

Frequently Asked Questions
The HF control on the attenuator allows you to dial back the high-end sparkle when attenuating, preventing the sound from becoming overly dark or muffled.
No, each channel’s 'Fat' pull engages a different circuit – one boosts mids and increases gain, while the other focuses on a thicker, more saturated tone.
While sharing a British lineage, the Royalist offers a slightly more refined and versatile voicing, with the voicing switches providing tonal flexibility beyond a standard AC30's character.
