The MK Clean is Victory’s ultimate Clean amplifier. This amplifier represents the culmination of over 30 years of experience from Martin Kidd. Martin made his first guitar amp in the early 1990s and has since become one of the most influential and important British amp designers of the last three decades.
This video is a deep dive into the origins of the amp, the design and process, as well as the care that goes into each one of these amazing machines. Chris Buck provides the sounds for this video with Rabea providing his experiences of the design process, Martin is there to explain how he did it!
The MK Clean is hand built in England and no expense has been spared on components, time to build or the many other barriers or confines that can be placed on amp designs. Each amp leaves the factory after Martin inspects and signs each one to confirm it meets his high standards.
