Victory Amplifiers | 10 years ago
In this video, Victory Amplifiers artist Jake Willson plays through V30 The Countess and V40 The Duchess heads.
Jake explains how he approaches the V30's clean and overdrive channels, talking us through his ever-changing pedalboard along the way.
He then plays the V40 The Duchess for first time and gives us his first impressions of the amp.
This video also features the new prototype Victory V212 vertical open-back 2x12 speaker cabinets. The black one contains Celestion Vintage 30 speakers; the Cream one uses Celestion G12M-65 Creambacks. Please note that these cabs are prototypes at this stage so the final spec may be different following our ongoing tests.
All the sounds in this video are recorded with an SE R1 ribbon mic and a Sennheiser e906 on the cabinets, running into a Zoom H6 recorder. The H6 also has a stereo X-Y pair onboard, so some non-direct room sound is mixed in as well. Jake's voice mic is muted during the playing sections.
Jake's overdrive/boost pedals are a TC Electronic Spark Booster, Wampler Hot Wired, JHS Sweet Tea and a Carl Martin PlexiTone.
