Choptones Tone Impera

Tone Impera is the TH-U expansion library, created by Choptones, seeking to recreate the sound of a Tone King Imperial 20th Anniversary*.

After listening this amp played from a dear friend, Choptones engineers couldn't let this beauty "uncaptured": they borrowed it from the legitimate owner to capture its incredible voice, great both for the cleanest clean tones and with the necessary grit for warm crunches and mellow leads.

The Tone Impera library contains 89 rigs, which have been captured using the following gear*:

• Toneking Imperial Cab loaded with Celestion Creamback 65.
