Not sure if anybody mentioned it yet, but Kingsley is from Abbotsford, British Columbia , Canada (just outside of Vancouver). The owner and designer is originally from England.

This channel is definitely going to blow up - and deservedly so!

The insides of that pedal are lovely! Thanks for the tear down. I will be checking out all our backlog this weekend.

As said before Kingsley is indeed based just outside of Vancouver, BC in Canada though Simon is from the UK originally. I think Noah might have made this one. I phoned and told Simon to watch this so we can talk about it at work tomorrow. Good teardown!

I've never opened my Kingsley Page but it's a great sounding pedal. I'm back in the queue for more of Simon's pedals.

Cool to see a turret board in a pedal. Love these videos, I find them interesting and strangely relaxing. Another idea that may be interesting are the quilter superblock pedalboard amps, the USA or uk versions.

Kingsleys rock!

Thanks for hearing the call out- A gorgeous meticulous component/wiring layout, def a build to try to aspire too someday once learned this crazy tube amp math and etc. Rad show mate :)

Nice quality . The designer must have spent some time in custody as the blue is bang on . I'm guessing stud welds for the tube stands offs but maybe wrong , very neat . This method is like spot welding but leaving the pin behind . I've built similar using the close equivalent of ECC83s in Russian subminiature tubes which enable lower plate voltage , but mainly to drive 2 amps from a " Stereo " guitar source . My supply of old Cliff parts is drying up after parting out some old solid state PA amps that had seen better days . The jacks are great if you are building into an enclosure as they can be mounted flush , dropped in and held with the bezel and coloured ring of your choice ( red or black in my case ) and Cliff has now moved away from their older product line so its difficult to find the white , red and black bezels used on the classic gear . I have a few but running low on those too . Last white one went on the output jack of a 1972 HiWatt Custom 100 head during a rebuild . I'm surprised that no one has used the Hi Watt preamp topology for this purpose . Maybe I will build one .

Thanks !!

While born in the UK, Simon isn't a UK manufacturer, he now lives outside Vancouver, BC, Canada.

The Kingsley Artisan has a bias control but I think the bias control is adjusting the JFET biasing voltage or the tube grid biasing voltage? because most of kingsley pedals plate voltage are at 250vdc step up from 9vdc

Great tear down video. I’m interested in learning more about that power supply and how those plate voltages compare to what is present on a real Marshal preamp. Cheers

i enjoy your tear down videos , i was wondering if you could get into the schematic a bit more of some of the older pedals that are no longer being made , break down how each component effects the circuit . do you have any recommendations on a book or books i can read to help me understand DIY guitar pedals a bit better?

S.i.b. barracuda tube overdrive. A review of that would interest me

Quite a decent build. Putting high voltage pedals into the hands of the public is a scary thought. I felt the same about those older EHX Tube pedals. ;) Great video, Joe. Thanks, man!

Nice video as always. How about a breakdown of Vactrols and rolling ones own?

Very curious to see the inside of the van Weelden Royal Overdrive. He clames that there are over 200 components in that pedal!

Cool, thanks. But, Kingsley is located in Canada, not the UK.

Could you do the tc tube pilot as a tear down or show how you could mod it?

In case noby else told you yet, Kingsley is located in British Columbia, Canada. :)

Liking what I see here as regards construction method, specifically the wiring and the mounting of the tube seats. I will NEVER purchase anything that has the tube seats mounted on a PCB. Glad to see that Kingsley eschew the inferior construction methods which are all too common these days. Really useful video, thanks.

Question about tube pedals, from a layman's perspective: 1) How can you tell if the tube is really in the circuit and doing something, as opposed to just being a marketing thing? I remember there being some drama about some pedals only having a decorative tube that isn't actually in the circuit. 2) How to properly care for tube pedals? How long does that tube inside actually last before we should consider changing?

And once more I gotta wonder why people still stick to carbon resistors, other than save cost...

There in no such thing as Czechoslovakia, but nice video anyway 👍

impressive box. no crappy smd's in this thing

Thing looks like it's worth 100 dollars at most. is it possible to just the all the parts by ourselves? If the parts are get-able by ourselves then we don't need to pay like 500 dollars for it
