NAMM 2017: Victory Amplification V40 Deluxe and V130 Super Countess

The V40 Deluxe is is the next evolution of the V40 The Duchess head. A 2 x 6L6-powered all-valve amp with classic American cleans through to ’60s British drive, the Deluxe offers a lot from its single channel.

The reverb has controls for level and tone, enabling you to have a relatively darker or brighter toned reverb. Available in two formats: a 1 x 12 widebody combo with Celestion G12H-75 Creamback speaker and a head in a traditional wooden sleeve, the V40 Deluxe is part of the Victory Heritage Series.

V130 The Super Countess is evolved from Victory's best-selling V30 The Countess model. Upgraded for 2017, features now include 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.
