Silver Sonic

The Silver Sonic is designed to “bring the huge spatial performance of the Golden Melody in a lower wattage, ” the company says. The dual 6V6-powered Silver Sonic features 5F6-A type architecture combined with tube reverb and harmonic filter vibrato all in a 1×12 combo cabinet. At 20 watts, it’s designed to deliver performance for intimate gig or studio use. “The Silver Sonic’s tweed heritage is evident in its palette of tones ranging from sweet cleans to aggressive overdriven flavors, ” according to Victoria. The amp features Victoria’s harmonic filter vibrato for what the company calls “3D sonic imagining unlike any other amp” outside of their line, and an Accutronic tank is standard in the all-tube reverb circuit. Two-tone cabinetry is available in black and sonic blue or black and cream. The tube complement is one GZ-34, two 6V6GTs, five 12AX7s, and one 12AT7 (NOS), and the cabinet is loaded with a single 12” Victoria speaker.

Pricing

List price for the Silver Sonic is $3395.00.

Cherry Bomb

The Cherry Bomb is a dual 6L6 version of Victoria’s Electro King amp. The 1×15 Cherry Bomb takes the 15-watt “GA-40 LP” amplifier and juices it up to 40 watts of cathode-biased 6L6 vacuum tube power. The additional output section allows the power of the 5879 preamp tubes to be realized, Victoria says. A separate tremolo channel employs the same NOS 6SQ7 as the Electro King for 1950s wobble. The amp is foot-switchable and offered in a classic two-tone cabinet. The tube complement is one 5U4, two 6L6s, one 12AX7, one 6SQ7 (NOS), and two 5879s (NOS).

Pricing

The list price for the Cherry Bomb is $2995.00.
