Tone King
A Tone King guitar amplifier
Tone King is a manufacturer of vacuum tube guitar amplifiers located in Baltimore in the U.S. state of Maryland. Tone King was founded by Mark Bartel in 1993 in Kingston, New York. In 1994 Mark moved the company to Baltimore. Tone King is one of the boutique "vintage" amplifier companies making Fender style amps. Bartel subsequently sold the company to the Premier Builders Guild,[1] although he still works as an employee of the company.
In January 2016, Tone King introduced the new Royalist 45 Mk II amplifier, an updated version of Tone King's Royalist amplifier, known for its low-gain British sound qualities.[2] Also in January, Tone King introduced an updated version of its Ironman attenuator, the Ironman II Mini.[3]
