Collection only from near to Dorking in Surrey.

I have only bought this in the last month or two from @Doctorfunk on this forum. It is in immaculate condition complete with fitted cover and foot-switch.

The only reason for deciding to part with it is that I have developed an infatuation for a Magnatone amp, which are expensive and rare and means I can't hang on to this beauty.

I am sure most people are aware of how good these are and in my experience are a massive step up from the Mark 1, which I have previously owned.

For anyone who does not know about these wonderful amps:

 The Tone King Imperial Mk2 from the front may look the same as the original Imperial but this amplifier is a completely new build. This Mk2 version delivers something that Imperial lovers will still want to play but with some subtle tonal differences. The original Imperial was designed to be an authentic vintage American style amplifier with the reliability of a modern build. Tone King have not lost their original goal with the Mk2 but they found a way to make their iconic amp even better. With some new tools and a whole new internal design, this amp will sit great in your rig.

Chimey But Not Glassy

When it comes to your sound nothing should get in your way and while the original Imperial amplifier had a fantastic glassy sound in a lot of situations it would be a bit too much. So when you plug in the Mk2 you will immediately notice that is slightly more subtle than the original but still with the same definition. This smoother sound makes this amp much more usable in most of the time so you can really use this as your everyday amp.

This change comes with the move to the new 'hand-wired board' layout that optimizes how the amp runs and gives you a much higher quality silky smooth tone that replicates true vintage American amps. With this change, you will also notice how little noise this amp creates while keeping every frequency intact. This isn't some internal wizardry just well built, well-designed amplifiers so you can get a better sound.
