Our take

Who this one is for

The Imperial MKII is a 20-watt, single-12 combo with two footswitchable channels. Rhythm is voiced after a mid-'60s blackface amp, with Volume, Treble and Bass. Lead is voiced after a '50s tweed, with Volume, Tone and a Mid-Bite control that tightens the low end and adds cut. A pair of 6V6s runs cathode biased with no negative feedback, and there's tube-driven spring reverb and bias-modulated tremolo.

The built-in Ironman II attenuator has a Rhythm Channel Bypass switch. With it on, the attenuator switches itself out whenever you select the Rhythm channel, so you can turn the Lead channel down to room volume while the clean channel stays at full output. An HF Compensation control sets how much top end comes through when the attenuator is working.

The Sky King is the 35-watt version, with 6L6s, a pentode/ultra-linear switch and an attenuator on each channel. If you'd rather choose your own speaker, the Imperial MKII Head is this amp without the cabinet.

Pre-orders

Questions we get

How much do I pay today?

Your choice: the full price, or a 25% deposit. On a deposit, the balance is due when the guitar reaches the shop, before it ships to you. A deposit is paid by card or PayPal. Shop Pay, Apple Pay and Google Pay can't take one.

When will it arrive?

It varies by product, anywhere from two weeks up to several months. If you'd like a date for this model first, ask us in the chat and we'll check with the supplier before you order. If you're ready now, go ahead: we confirm the ETA by email once your order is in, and if it changes, we let you know and you can cancel.

Can I cancel?

Yes, any time before the supplier invoices it and ships it to us. We refund what you paid less 3% to cover the card processing fee.

Once it has shipped to us it is a special order and final sale. If it arrives with something wrong, we put that right.

What if the price goes up before it arrives?

You pay the price you ordered at. Once your order is placed we hold that price, even if the supplier raises it before the guitar arrives.

Is the free setup included?

Yes. A pre-order is an online order, so it gets the same free setup: it crosses our bench before it ships, set up the way you choose. The setup menu above shows what that covers.

Do I pay duty or brokerage on a US order?

No. Duty, taxes, brokerage and customs on a US order are handled at our end before the instrument leaves Ottawa. It arrives at your door with nothing to pay.

Orders going anywhere outside Canada and the United States work differently. The shipping and returns policy sets out which is which.

Can I finance it?

Yes, if you are in Canada and paying in full. Pick PayPlan by RBC or Shop Pay Installments as your payment method at checkout. The plan, the rate and the approval sit with the provider, and you see the terms before you agree to anything. You pay a deposit by card or PayPal.
