The Legendary Martin Kidd
Martin Kidd made his first guitar amp in the early 1990s. Since then, he’s gone on to become one of the most influential & important British amp designers of the last 30 years, both as chief designer for Victory & Cornford Amplification, and consulting for brands like Fortin, Ampeg & PRS. Now you too can own a piece of British amp history!
Sounds To Match
The tones you’ll extract from this amplifier are every bit as premium as its stunning design. Not only is the MK Clean set up to produce spellbinding clean sounds from the offset; it comes loaded with just the right number of controls to give you some creative legroom.
Switch between gorgeous ‘50s-style voicing and more pronounced ‘60s-style Brit sounds with the ‘Voice’ switch, and add some extra top-end or rein in your bass frequencies for increased clarity with ‘Bright’ and ‘Bass Shift’ switches.
Top it off with a delightfully twangy spring reverb courtesy of an Accutronics long reverb tank, fitted upside down for a more characterful & clear decay.
The Design Process
From the concept stage through to production, every component and fitting is designed to not just get the very best sound from an amplifier – but to provide a luxurious experience.
Each MK amp is decorated with the finest material from Muirhead Scottish Leather, world-renowned providers of upholstery and leather goods for the likes of Aston Martin, Land Rover, and The Orient Express.
All audio components are fitted with gold-plated foundations to keep things cool and reliable, while the specially-selected valves are fitted with premium sockets to ensure a long, tonally-rich lifespan.
Kidd even customised each transformer, built in the UK by Demeter, to significantly enhance the response of the MK Clean.
Premium Perspex Sheet
A bespoke Victory perspex sheet is included to place between head and cabinet to protect the leather.
Cabinet Key Features
