Sold- Tone King Imperial Mk2 Seafoam Green £1750 ono

Hopefully everyone knows how good these amps are. Coda reckon it’s the best amp they sell and having played most of them, I’d agree. It does blackface on one channel (breaking up beautifully between 4-6) and tweed on the other. Footswitchable.
The Ironman attenuator is sensational though. Tube distortion at levels that doesn’t wake the kids or piss off the missus and it actually sounds good- virtually the same as on full power.
New from Coda and about 18 months old
Roqsolid cover included

That's lovely. I have a Falcon Grande and that's a nice amp. Phew - that one of yours is gorgeous.

Ooof!!! I'd buy that just as a pretty ornament if I had the money, even if it didn't sound awesome (which I'm sure it does!).

Chris,

That's worthy of a special photo (Dropbox is not quite as good as Imgur).

Looks fantastic !!!

So 1950s looking in that colour
I've had one ,Mk 11, Sounds fantastic but I don't get the Blackface likeness on the clean channel - to me it has much more of a clean Vox sound .The Mark 1 was painfully bright but the Mark 11 set out to correct this which it does very well and it has a lot of warmth in the sound .

The Falcon is a fabulous amp. Had one before the Imperial and adored it. @fretfinder also sold me his majesty and that was superb. Tone Kings are the best amps money can buy in my view.

Much appreciated! I’ve given up with forum images as they never work for me

Everyone says it’s blackface, in my view it’s actually more brownface. The Knopfler tones on amp breakup are absolutely spot on, but it does cleans better than anything that isn’t a magnatone in my view

wow, that is stunning

I hadn't considered the Brownface tone, must have a listen to some for comparison. 

It's just a lovely clean platform whatever the origin. I run my Falcon on Rhythm with the Tone at 6 and it's superb. Add a reverb pedal and a couple of drives...

I should have said how good the reverb is too......

Dominic

Yes,the Reverb is fab and the overall sound is very "big" and wide

I've been waiting for one of these to come up for months and the day it does, I don't check the amp section. Gutted! 

chris78

@Barnezy sorry mate. I was surprised how quickly it went, but they are fantastic amps

prudd

Bit pissed off with myself, I dithered on this, should have acted sooner.
