\"\"<\/a>The Royal TS II is an amp-like overdrive pedal that is handmade in Germany.
\nIt is perfect for British sounds and definitely more than a simple clone of the Ibanez Tubescreamer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The circuit is based on the legendary Ibanez TS-808 Tubescreamer and, like the legendary archetype, uses the LM1458 IC.
\nBut the circuit of the Royal TS II, which comes along in a robust, worn-white lacquered Hammond enclosure with translucent gold effect, has been improved by some specialties.<\/p>\n

Extended tone stack<\/h3>\n

The extended tone stack guarantees the traditional TS-808 sound as well as more flexible setting options.
\nActually, the tone control of the TS-808 only makes sense between a 10 to 14 o\u2019clock position. Otherwise the pedal sounds dull or shrill.
\nThe circuit of the Royal TS II allows a sophisticated adjustment of the tone. Use the additional \u201cGlass\u201d pot to fine-tune the treble.
\nHigh-quality smooth-running Alpha allow an infinitely variable adjustment.<\/p>\n

\u201cdrive\u201d toggle switch<\/h3>\n

The toggle switch of the Royal TS II permits to choose between three clipping\/gain levels.
\nThe Royal TS II provides a battery input as well as a 9V power supply input.
