January 2017: Victory Amplification from the UK proudly
announces V40 Deluxe and V130 The Super Countess, two new amplifier
models debuting at the Winter NAMM Show in Anaheim, California.
Available from March 2017
V40 Deluxe is evolved from our award-winning Compact Series V40
The Duchess head. (Guitarist Magazine Gear Of The Year 2015 /
Guitar & Bass Magazine Gear Of The Year 2015.)V40 Deluxe is a 2
x 6L6-powered all-valve amp for classic American cleans through to
’60s British drive, all from one versatile channel. It has high-
and low-power modes, a hard-bypassable series effects loop, plus
footswitchable valve-driven tremolo and spring reverb. The reverb
has controls for level and tone, enabling you to have a relatively
darker or brighter toned reverb. V40 Deluxe comes in two formats: a
1 x 12 widebody combo with Celestion G12H-75 Creamback speaker, and
also a head in a traditional wooden sleeve. The V40 Deluxe is part
of the Victory Heritage Series.
NAMM: Two New Amplifiers For 2017
V130 The Super Countess is evolved from our best-selling V30 The
Countess model. It was the first ever Victory Compact Series head,
designed in conjunction with guitar phenomenon, Guthrie Govan, as
his ‘flying’ amp. For 2017 we’ve developed an up-scaled,
wooden-sleeve version, with a mighty 100-watt 6L6 power section and
four footswitchable modes, two per channel. The high-headroom Clean
channel has footswitchable ‘clean’ and ‘crunch’ modes, the latter
providing on-the-edge breakup tones to full-on classic rock drive.
(V30 The Countess does not have the ‘crunch’ mode.) The Overdrive
channel has two voice settings; Voice II is the classic V30 OD
sound, while Voice I is new and offers tighter bottom end and
slightly lower gain. V130 The Super Countess also has an effects
loop. It’s a phenomenally versatile, powerful workhorse that’s
super simple to use: mighty tones for any style. V130 The Super
Countess is part of the Victory Heritage Series.
