The TK IMP MKII is one of the most coveted modern amps, and we can totally see why.
The amp is tuned for the American Blackface tonal style, but it has more midrange and sounds less harsh than those classic American amps. This is especially noticeable in crunch and drive, where this amp shines just as well as in its percussive and powerful clean tones, which are surprisingly good for a low-wattage amp with 6V6 tubes.
Both channels are very well tuned: the rhythm channel is a Blackface-style sound machine, while the lead channel leans a little more towards a Plexi/Tweed style sound. It’s practically impossible to get this amp to sound perfect—it never becomes harsh, the tonal focus perfectly matches the guitar frequencies, there’s no boom, and the midrange distortion makes it incredibly enjoyable. One of our favorite amps, for sure.
ATTENTION!
Core DI sets contain the basic tones (bright, balanced, and warm EQ settings) for a specific amplifier.
Expansion DI sets contain additional tones (thin, dense, and rolled-off EQ settings).

The TK IMP MKII is one of the most desirable current production amps and we totally understand why.
The amp is voiced towards a Blackface style American tonality, but it has more midrange and sounds less brittle than these classic American amps tend to be. This especially pays off in the crunch and drive department, where this amp shines just as well as with it’s percussive and big sounding cleans that are suprprising for a lower power 6V6 amp.
Both channels are very well voiced, the Rhythm channel being a blackface style tone machine, while the Lead channel goes a bit more into the plexi/tweed style of sound. It is nbigh impossible to set this amp to sound bat – never gets harsh, the tonal focus is right on the guitar frequencies, does not get boomy and the medium gain tones on this one are addictive. One of our all time faves for sure.
The Core DI capture set consists of 30 DI captures featuring both the Lead and Rhythm channels of the amp, ranging from clean to lead gain levels and bright, balanced and warm EQ settings. Included are 2 IR’s of the TK IMP cab and 2 IR’s of a 1968 MRSH 1960A cab with G12M25 75Hz Pulsonic speakers.
