Victory V40 The Duchess and The Viscount amps

Victory Amps launches today two 40W all-valve guitar amplifiers, the V40 The Duchess head and the V40 The Viscount 1×12 combo.

Both amps are identical: they feature a single channel with two switchable voices: the first offers a mid-60s US-type of tone, the second is a bit more powerful for a 50s style sound. And if you push the gain, you’ll engage the Mid-Kick function for a 60s British sound, so you can cover a large era of the blues and rock.

Specifications:

• Single channel amp
• 3×12AX7 preamp tubes, 2x EL34 power tubes (can be replaced with 6L6 valves)
• 4 power levels: 40W, 7W, Single-Ended 1.5W and Single-Ended 0.5W
• 2 switchable voices
• Mid-Kick switch
• Footswitchable digital reverb with hard bypass

• Volume and master controls
• Series effect loop with hard bypass

• Celestion G12M-65 Creamback speaker in the combo

The V40 The Duchess construction employs metal with a rubber handle and the head ships with a gig bag. The V40 The Discount combo is made of pine with an open back.
