Victory V1 Series Pedals

The Victory V1 Series comprises five compact overdrive/distortion pedals, with each unit based on one of the British brand's core guitar amp families — from the clean boutique-inspired Duchess, to the monstrous high-gain Kraken!

Designed with award-winning stompbox builder Adrian Thorpe MBE (of ThorpyFX) and made in the UK, these high-quality effects pedals accurately capture the essence of Victory's acclaimed guitar amps in incredible detail. If you want that Victory sound without the premium price-tag, a V1 Series pedal is a fantastic option that's sure to expand your pedalboard's tonal palette!

Victory's V1 pedals feature powerful 3-band EQ sections (for adjusting treble, middle and bass) just like you'd find on most guitar amplifiers. This means that they offer far more sonic flexibility than conventional drive pedals, while their ergonomic top-mounted jacks allow you to maximise precious pedalboard real-estate. V1 Series pedals also boast robust steel enclosures that carefully protect the solid-state circuitry — sure to provide years of reliable, hassle-free use!

Martin Kidd & Adrian Thorpe on the V1 Series:

"The idea of a collaboration was something that made a good deal of sense, as we (Victory) were to an extent, venturing into the unknown... At Victory, we have the knowhow, of course; however, being able to make use of Adrian’s (Thorpy’s) experience and the various subtleties of his design ethic, enabled us to better appeal to the player who likes a clean amp platform; getting their various sounds from pedals." — Martin Kidd, Chief Designer at Victory

"We were keen to make the V1 pedals sound as close to the full-bore valve amps as possible but working with Martin and the team meant that we had to be even more precise to do their amp designs justice in solid-state pedal form. It took a long time and many times we had to go back to the drawing board. Despite this, maintaining an uncompromising nature of what the Victory sound is, means that pedal fiends worldwide can enjoy these pedals, no matter what their flavour preferences. I’m proud to say we worked on these V1 pedals." — Adrian Thorpe MBE, ThorpyFX
