SKU: VICVX100-EL34

Product Description

The Kraken has morphed into an even more powerful beast via 100 massive watts of EL34 power. You still get the Brit-inspired Gain I channel. You still get the colossal smack of Gain II's US grind… but now there's a whole new footswitchable clean mode, plus a footswitchable Preamp Focus function to add a little juice and cut to any and all modes. There's also a preset Bass Focus option in the power section, footswitchable FX loop, assignable/ footswitchable dual master volumes… plus a useful 30-watt low-power mode for when you don't need to blow the roof off. And, of course, MIDI switching capability.

Gain I Crunch… and Clean!

VX100's clean mode is entirely new, allowing sparkling clean tones with superb headroom. Footswitch to crunch mode, and you're rocking hot-rodded British gain tones. Switch in the Preamp Focus to boost, tighten and punch through.

Gain II

The Gain II channel picks up from where Gain I leaves off. There's extra overdrive as you'd expect, but also a tighter bottom-end response and a more focussed midrange character, for a more American flavour in your riffs. Yes, it Djents if you want.

Two Bass Focus Switches

One for the preamp and one for the power amp. Preamp Focus tightens up the bottom end and boosts somewhat like a TS-type pedal would do. Separately, the Poweramp Bass Focus affects the negative feedback in the power section for looser bass with plenty of resonance; or tighter and more focused.

Fab Footswitchability

Gain I/GainII, Clean/Crunch modes, Preamp Focus, Poweramp Focus, Master Volumes, FX Loop… There's a floorboard included for traditional switching, but production models (pictured is a prototype) will have full MIDI switching compatibility too.

Dual Master Volumes

You can configure these to change with the channels (Gain I/Master I and Gain II/Master II) or have them independently footswitchable for two separate master volume levels whenever you want.

Low Power Mode

Select between 30 watts low power or 100 watts high power. Both are plenty loud, but the feel and dynamics are different.

This was my first venture into the world of valve amplifiers. It was fair to say I’d been pretty set in victory as many of my musical inspirations use or have used victory. When I tried it in the store well the sound blew me away! I’d heard and listened to reviews but in person this amp just screams. When I first used it at rehearsals with my band it was like a lightbulb moment and I think I can safely say I’d buy another victory amp in a heartbeat as they sound so good!

The Kraken is a phenomenal amp really getting to grips with it-

Firstly, this thing is LOUD! Even on the 30W setting. Unless you live in a castle don’t even attempt to get bedroom volume levels with decent tone; the amp needs to be driven hard and that means the volume set at around 4 or above, at which point most of your glazing will end up outside. The solution, as suggested by Victory themselves, is to use a power soak such as the Jet City Jettenuator. Even on live gigs, with a 5-piece rock band at a decent sized venue, an attenuator was still necessary. I bought this amp because I want: 1.To downsize from lugging a full-size 50W or 100W Marshall head, 2.Something that fits nicely atop a Barefaced 1x12” cab for gigs where stage space is at a premium, and 3.An amp with midi control. Tone-wise the amp is quite versatile although it’s early days and I’m still experimenting. Midi programming is simple and the fact that you can configure for either EL34s or 6L6s is a nice touch. 5 Year guarantee too. An emulated line out would've been useful. It meets my requirements although I strongly advise you try before you buy to ensure it’s right for you.
