Top Hat King Royale - Channel I preset

Verified · 80/100 confidence. Complete schematic. All component values readable. Parameters derived directly from the circuit.

The Top Hat King Royale is a boutique two-channel amp built on the AC30 idea with more gain on tap. One channel is a single triode stage with its own volume and a treble-cut tone control; the other has its own volume, two further triode stages and a cathode follower into a treble/bass/middle stack. Both feed a long-tail inverter with a Cut control, driving four cathode-biased EL84s with no negative feedback, from a valve rectifier.
