The Kingsley Constable is a tube guitar preamplifier modeled after the classic "plexi" design of the late 1960's. It is designed to push a power amplifier directly but may also be used into the effects return of a guitar amplifier effects loop. While the most authentic plexi tones are achieved by using one of the above methods, the Constable also features a mode of operation that attenuates its output to allow it to be run into the front end of a guitar amplifier or in front of other guitar effects pedals, for a clean boost or mild to medium drive pedal.

The Kingsley Constable uses two 12ax7 tubes running at high voltage (around 270VDC) to get the most authentic valve tone out of its hand wired circuit.

Constable V2

Der Peasant ist ein Röhren-Boost mit regelbarer Eingangsimpedanz.  

Bei höheren Eingangsimpedanz-Einstellungen liefert er einen weitgehend unverfärbten, breitbandigen Boost. Wenn der Peasant als erstes in der Signalkette steht, senkt eine reduzierte Eingangsimpedanz den Resonanzpunkt der Gitarren-Tonabnehmer. Das Ergebnis ist eine reduzierte Tiefen- und Höhenwiedergabe, wodurch ein Mittenboost im oberen Frequenzbereich entsteht. Dieser Effekt ähnelt dem des bekannten Dallas Rangemaster Treble Boosters.

The Peasant is a valve (tube) boost with a variable input impedance control. At higher input impedance settings it makes a relatively un-coloured and full range boost. If the Peasant is first in line, as the input impedance control is lowered the resonant peak of the guitar's pickups is lowered. The result is reduced low end and top end, effectively producing an upper midrange boost. This effect is similar to that produced by the well known Dallas Rangemaster treble booster circuit.

Peasant

V3 is a major up-grade to the V2 with many more features.
The V2 was basically a slightly simplified version of a Maiden D and a Page DS in one box. The new Juggler V3 is based on the same Dumble ODS inspired circuit with two 12ax7s, however it has all of the features of the Maiden V2 and Page DS, as well as some other useful features.

The Jester now ships in a new smaller (version B) enclosure

The audio circuitry and components are all just the same as before, as is the sound. However, the new Jester uses a different power supply design, which has enabled this smaller footprint. The two Tungsol re-issue 12ax7s are now housed completely inside the pedal and still run at high voltage (around 250VDC).

Jester V2 /B

The Minstrel (V2 and V3) is a tube overdrive pedal that features a single 12ax7 tube running at high voltage. The tube is pushed into overdrive by a JFET transistor. Please note that the V2 is no longer in production - all new Minstrels will now be the V3 version (as of December 2019).

The Minstrel is a single channel tube overdrive pedal that offers many of the features of the Kingsley Jester in a smaller enclosure, but without the separate boost circuit. The V3 Minstrel also features a second footswitchable "More" function that adds gain to the pedal's base tone, as well as a new "Sizzle" switch for a brighter and more open tone.
