That Pedal Show | 2 days ago
A play through the Victory MK Clean and MK Overdrive, plus Lee Anderton and Martin Kidd share the early Victory story…
Welcome to the show! We are delighted to welcome our good friends Martin Kidd and Lee Anderton to Schwangri-La. Martin is of course here in his capacity as chief designer for Victory Amplifiers, the proud father, so to speak, of two new custom-order designs, the MK Clean and MK Overdrive. It is indeed a pleasure to play and hear them.
The Overdrive model has a little nod to his Cornford days of yore, the story of which folds into a wider discussion as we’re joined by Lee Anderton. Lee, you might recall, was the subject of some online criticism when it emerged he was involved with Victory amps a while back, so we thought it appropriate to tell that story in a little more detail, not least because the friendships that emerged in the early days of Victory had something of a hand in launching what we now know as That Pedal Show!
Thank you to Martin and Lee for their time and candour. Enjoy the show!
