The MK Overdrive, our ultimate overdrive amplifier! For many years we have been asked what Victory amp sounds like the Cornford MK50? So this became the starting point for Martin’s ultimate overdrive amp.
In this video Martin Kidd sits down with Rabea Massaad to discuss the R&D process for what we think is our most versatile amplifier and how it was influenced by the MK50. Rabea and Chris provide the sounds.

The MK Overdrive 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.
