The Minstrel by Kingsley is a tube overdrive pedal available in V2 and V3 versions. The pedal features a single 12ax7 tube running at high voltage, which is pushed into overdrive by a JFET transistor. The V3 version offers a second footswitchable "More" function that adds gain to the pedal's base tone, as well as a "Sizzle" switch for a brighter and more open tone. The hand-wired circuitry and high-quality construction provide a wide variety of tones, from mild and smooth to punchy and dynamic to aggressive rock tones.
The technical specifications for the Minstrel V2 are as follows:
- Dimensions: 3 7/8" wide x 4 3/4" deep x 2.56" tall
- Power requirements: 9VDC @ 500mA, center negative 2.1mm power jack
- Weight: 1.27 lbs (575g)
The Minstrel operates off 9VDC, which is stepped up inside the pedal for 240VDC tube operation, achieving a real and dynamic tube sound comparable to that of some of the finest tube amplifiers.
The V3 version adds a couple of very useful features to the V2 circuit, including a second footswitch labeled "More" that footswitches in to the higher gain mode, and a "Sizzle" mini switch that adds top-end clarity, openness, and bite to the core sound.
The V3 version adds $85 to the V2 price for the new features, for a total cost of $430.
