Vyse Amplification Royale ‘T’ – No talking, just tones! British hand-made US-Style Valve Amp


In this video i’m checking out the brilliant Vyse Amplification – Royale ‘T’.

Vyse Amplification make boutique hand made Valve Amplifiers, here in the UK. They have over 20 years experience, using the best high quality components. Vyse offer a range of British and US-style amps, whilst also providing repair services, and amp building courses and can voice any amp to your taste. Vyse have kindly let me use this amp for a few weeks as I decide on what I would like from my next amp. This is NOT a paid promotion.

I’ll be releasing another video shortly where I share my thoughts and some clips of using it live. What do you think? Let me know in the comments!

More on the amp, from the Vyse website:
“The ideal gigging amp for those who want rich sparkly tones and warm bass notes which fill out the room. The Royale ‘T’ is a 40w US style amp gives classic clean tone powered from a pair of 6L6’s. The Pre-amp has been designed to give you anything from the rich spanky tones of the 60’s blackface through to the throaty growl of the Tweed era.

The amp has a volume and master volume control so enabling you to vary between pre-amp and power amp drive to suit your style and guitar. The pre-amp has the standard Fender blackface tone stack with added Bright switch and Warm switch. The 3 position ‘Bright’ switch gives you the choice between a modern John Mayer-ish tone, a ‘normal’ Fender blackface tone and a super bright tone. The 2 position ‘Warm’ switch give you the ability to add in more bass notes if required.

The tremolo (the ‘T’ in Royale ‘T’) gives you plenty of scope to fill out your sound whilst giving you clear defined variations in volume with its standard speed and depth control.

The reverb is a valve driven spring reverb that has been developed to give you a smooth reverb that doesn’t ‘bark’ at you.

The Royale ‘T’ comes with a Jenson Alnico 12” speaker as standard but we are more than happy to fit the speaker of your choice – just get in touch and we can discuss.

Hi and Low inputs give the flexibility to use different pick ups and vary the amount of drive you want.

Like all our amplifiers, the Royale ‘T’ is hand wired and so is an amp for life. It is easily maintained and any modification that may be required in the future can easily be accommodated.

Housed in a dovetailed pine cabinet, finished with a medium oak stain and wax. All of our pine is reclaimed with all knots and grain visible so making your amp unique. If the pine finish is not your thing then give us a call and we will happily arrange alternatives.

We also offer the service of adjusting the ‘voice’ of the amp to suit your ear once you have played it for a month or so. Certain aspects of the circuit can be altered to give you more clean head room, more drive, or adjust your tone. We are happy to work with you to achieve the best out of your amp.”
