This acoustic design originated in the UK in the late 1950s and has since been modified, developed and refined to become the handcrafted boutique tube amplifier of the 21st century. However, this is more than just a reinterpretation of models like AC. The classic style of the Victory Compact series packs all these tones and more into a small powerhouse, from traditional highs to junky pop, punchy mid-rich rock, high-gain classic rock, and rich American sounds. tones Boutique style cleansing and low gain texture. The EL84 amplifier will satisfy purists and attract many new friends along the way. Features Plenty of Gain Options? You can dial in sparkly, chiming cleans right through to heavy gain rock sounds all from one knob. It’s very interactive with the tone controls, then balance to taste with the master volume. Sculptable Low End A rotary pot and bass cut switch give you the control to dial in anything from skinny British ’60s pop jangle, to full and fat, modern boutique tones. Mids for Voicing We’ve included a mid boost switch to add bite and overdrive for rich, vocal lead tones.Try it with the bass cut and plenty of gain for classic rock soloing bliss. Reverb VC35 has a no-hassle, super-reliable digital reverb (like our V40) to keep you ambient. Somewhere between room and plate… and there’s plenty available! Master Tone Cut This global tone control works as it does in the classic Vox amps… except the trebly stuff is found clockwise. It’s great for that final high-end response tone tweak to your playing environment. High & Low Power 35 watts/full power is great for punch and headroom; 12 watts low power gives less volume, more compression and a different harmonic and dynamic response. Series Effect Loop If you’re running the VC35 gainy, your time-based effects – reverb and delay – will stay cleaner sounding here. For classic clean tones, run effects into the front. External Bias Test & Adjustment When it’s time to change your EL84 output valves, you can test and adjust the bias for the replacements quickly and safely.
