KingTone Guitar | Blues Power Deluxe

The KingTone Guitar Blues Power Deluxe is a masterpiece in overdrive and boost pedal design, crafted to meet the needs of professional guitarists who demand top-tier quality, tone, and reliability. This pedal represents the pinnacle of pedal craftsmanship, designed with every detail in mind to ensure a flawless playing experience.

The Blues Power Deluxe utilises high-grade, hand-selected components, from ultra-low noise resistors to polyester film capacitors and the finest toggle and foot switches. This premium selection and meticulous construction process, featuring hand-wired, through-hole technology, set it apart from ordinary pedals on the market. Guitarists will appreciate its clean and clear signal path, made possible by silent, pop-free soft switching. This attention to build quality ensures both reliability and an authentic, nuanced tonal response.

With its dual overdrive stages, the Blues Power Deluxe provides an expansive range of sounds, from transparent and glassy overdrive to deep, rich blues tones. The wide-range drive control allows users to adjust the pedal's response, making it versatile enough for a variety of musical styles. The pedal also features a responsive bass and treble control system, enabling players to fine-tune their sound, while an internal mid-frequency dip-switch allows further tone-shaping, ideal for creating everything from a punchy, present sound to a smooth, lifted tone.

One of the most exciting aspects of the Blues Power Deluxe is the innovative boost knob and dedicated foot switch, allowing guitarists to dial in extra gain precisely when needed. This boost capability not only enriches solos but also helps the guitar cut through even the busiest mixes. The toggle switch further enhances the pedals versatility by allowing players to switch between three unique voicings: the classic KingTone setting with its fat, edgy tones; a darker, warmer blues setting; and a highly responsive full-range boost/overdrive. Each of these modes has been fine-tuned to provide a distinct tonal experience that can be moulded to fit any style or genre.

The Blues Power Deluxe's high-output capacity ensures that it can easily drive even the most resistant valve amplifiers, giving guitarists access to a broader tonal palette and expressive potential. Unlike many boost pedals, it maintains the full frequency spectrum without sacrificing low frequencies, which makes it ideal for pairing with fuzz pedals. This feature ensures that no matter how much drive or boost is applied, the pedal remains transparent and articulate, preserving the natural qualities of the guitar and amp.

KingTone's attention to design extends to the pedal's visual and physical construction as well. Housed in a durable custom CNC aluminium enclosure with a laser-engraved control panel, the Blues Power Deluxe is built to last a lifetime. Its unique and beautiful design complements the craftsmanship of the pedal itself, making it a worthy addition to any pedalboard, both visually and functionally. Compatible with both DC jack and battery power, this pedal is versatile enough for stage or studio use.

The Blues Power Deluxe is designed to be the ultimate companion to other KingTone favourites, such as the Duellist Overdrive and miniFUZZ. Whether used alone or in tandem with these classics, the Blues Power Deluxe provides a seamless, integrated tone that enhances the unique qualities of each pedal. Its a must-have for guitarists who want both subtle and powerful overdrive and boost options in a single, impeccably crafted unit.

In summary, the Blues Power Deluxe is not just a pedal; its a finely tuned instrument that provides unparalleled tonal flexibility and build quality. With its unique features and careful engineering, the Blues Power Deluxe stands as a testament to KingTone's commitment to delivering products that serve guitarists at the highest level.

The KingTone setting on this pedal enhances your tone by adding thickness and a sharp, edgy bite, creating a massive and unique sound. It adjusts the pedal's overall voicing, delivering a vocal-like top end with added bite and a valve-like chug in the low end for a chunky, powerful tone. However, to fully benefit from the KingTone setting, please ensure the pedal is placed first in your signal chain, just as if you had Jesse's incredible King Tone Switch installed in your guitar. Otherwise, the setting won't function as intended.
