Les Paul with the King Cobra amp recorded with RECO
Small, evil, patient, suddenly alive – it strikes when you do. Same power and feel as a real valve amp, without the glass, heat or weight. Touch the strings and it breathes. Stop – and the snake waits, coiled and ready. It follows you – the Master!

The Voice – Clean To Mean
British bite, American depth – both and beyond. Clean tones shimmer, driven tones growl. Pedals blend right in – Himmelstrutz or not.
King Cobra Recording
Use 1 or 2 microphones to record King Cobra through a cab or go direct through Himmelstrutz RECO. Same feel, same honesty, quiet neighbours.

Who King Cobra Is For
| Compact fly-rigs | 444 g, carry-on friendly, replaces a traditional amplifier head. |
| Session work | Immediate power-up, repeatable response, identical feel across takes. |
| Touring & rentals | Consistent touch and output regardless of venue, cabinet or backline. |
| Pedal-based rigs | Neutral front end with real headroom; drives, fuzz and time-based FX translate correctly. |
| Studio production | Real amplifier dynamics without volume constraints; mic a cabinet or record silently via RECO. |
| Clean headroom | Clean tones remain stable and open even at higher volume settings; ample headroom before breakup. |
| Low-volume operation | Delivers usable, musical overdrive and dynamic response even at restrained sound levels. |
| Volume-knob control | Cleans up linearly without thinning or loss of authority. |
| Maintenance-free systems | No warm-up, no drift, no consumables; stable behaviour day to day. |
| Modern analogue workflows | Real-time circuit behaviour without menus, presets or firmware layers. |
| Single-amp solutions | Covers clean, edge and driven sounds with consistent dynamics. |
