Victory The Kraken Amps

'The Kraken' is the most modern-sounding amplifier designed by Victory. Able to pump out hellish high-gain tones, this fire-breathing amplifier remains tight, defined and percussive - making it perfect for heavier styles.

The Victory VX 'The Kraken' is one of the oldest amp models in the Victory lineup, but for good reason. Designed with Dorje/Toska guitarist and Andertons TV presenter Rabea Massaad, the Victory 'The Kraken' is regarded as one of the best high-gain valve amplifiers around.

Marketed as the ideal amp for extended range players, the Victory VX Kraken is acclaimed for its focused distortion sound; ensuring that 7 and 8-stringed guitars sound punchy and articulate. With two channels letting you seamlessly switch between warm cleans tones and saturated high-gain, the Kraken is surprisingly versatile and gives you plenty of room to manoeuvre when it comes to sculpting sounds. The distortion channel features two gain modes, letting you attain anything from a Marshall-style crunch tone to a chunky American-esque wall of sound. And with a full 3-band EQ, you can tweak the lows, mids and highs to your specific tastes.

The Victory 'The Kraken' is available is several configurations. The Compact Series version is essentially the original, which follows Victory's lightweight lunchbox chassis design. This makes it a very ergonomic head that's incredibly easy to transport. The Deluxe Kraken offers slightly more class and style, with its Pine enclosure and dark grey vinyl. However, it projects far more volume with 100W of headroom rather than 50W, while also featuring MIDI integration, a preamp focus function (emulates Tube Screamer pedal) and more! Both the Compact and Deluxe Kraken heads are also available with EL34 or 6L6 power tubes, letting you choose between British or American voices respectively.
