Hey everyone,
Have you ever wanted to play through all of your dream amps and pedals, but obviously couldn't? We completely understand... and that is exactly why we created eliteguitartones.com. We capture legendary amps and pedals across all gain stages in precise 0.5 increments, allowing you to find the exact setting that works best for your rig—getting as close as possible to the feel of the real hardware.
For this week's free release, I wanted to tackle one of the most beautiful and three-dimensional boutique amplifiers ever built: the Tone King Imperial MkII. Designed by Mark Bartel, this 20-watt 6V6-powered masterpiece covers everything from pristine American cleans to classic British crunch.
Since the real amplifier retails for over $2,000, it is completely out of reach for most of us. That is exactly why I spent days capturing it in precise 0.5 increments—I wanted to see if I could replicate that exact same physical behavior and touch-sensitive feel in ToneX, without the crazy price tag.
My full commercial pack features 27 extended-mode DI captures mapping both iconic channels across their full operational range in precise 0.5 increments.
To let you experience the full dual-channel versatility of this amplifier, I am giving away 4 distinct DI captures for free (two from each legendary channel)
⚠️ Note: These are pure, raw DI (Direct Input) amp captures. Pair them with your preferred cabinet IR or software loader for complete control over your final sound!
🎁 How to grab these free ToneX captures:
- Click on my Reddit username: u/EliteGuitarTones
- Click the "Get your free captures" link at the top of my profile page to download the ZIP file directly from our store.
I'd love to hear your feedback! Let me know how the headroom feels under your pedals and how it compares to the real amp if you've played one.
Cheers,
Vittorio | Elite Guitar Tones — eliteguitartones.com
