Description

The Victory Deputy is a modern classic guitar amp, thanks to its straightforward single-channel design and seriously addictive valve tone. Developed alongside our very own TV presenter Peter “Danish Pete” Honoré, the original concept was simple: capture the feel and response of a vintage British amp, then sneak in a few modern touches to make it work for today’s players. Following the success of the original compact 25-watt head and its ultra-portable lunchbox sibling, the Deputy has now grown up. The Victory Deputy 100 provides all the character, dynamics and touch sensitivity players love about the OG amp, but with a huge 100 watts of EL34-powered punch and headroom. Classic British tone, supercharged! If you love amps that let your guitar and playing do the talking, the Deputy 100 will be right up your street. Its single-channel design covers everything from sparkling ’60s-inspired cleans to chunky ’70s classic rock crunch, all from the amp’s Gain control and your guitar’s volume knob. With 100 watts on tap, there’s masses of clean headroom available, making it perfect for larger stages or anywhere you need authoritative valve tone that stays clear when cranked. Voice and Bright switches, flexible EQ While the Deputy 100 keeps things simple, it’s packed with useful tonal options. A three-position Voice switch adds extra gain and character as you move through the settings, helping you tailor the response to different guitars and pickups: Voice 1 (up): The lowest gain setting, keeping things clean, open and dynamic. Voice 2 (middle): Delivers a healthy gain boost, with up to +6dB of extra drive. Voice 3 (down): Adds upper mid frequencies and more treble to Voice 2. There’s also a dedicated Bright switch that serves up extra sparkle and attack, alongside a powerful three-band EQ and Presence control that lets you fine-tune exactly how much edge, punch and bite you want from your sound. Built-in ambience The Deputy 100 features a footswitchable digital reverb (footswitch included) that adds everything from subtle depth to expansive, atmospheric textures — sitting somewhere between the warmth of a plate reverb and the spaciousness of a hall. Turn it up and you’ll unlock a gorgeous shimmer that really brings clean passages and soaring lead lines to life. A word from Danish Pete “Since we launched the original Deputy, it’s quickly become a modern favourite, but I kept saying to the guys at Victory ‘could you imagine if this thing was louder and had more headroom? Even cleaner cleans and girthier girth?!’ So, it’s for that reason that we came up with the Deputy 100.” — Peter “Danish Pete” HonoreKey Features Single-channel, 100W design: Spans from ‘60s British cleans to ‘70s classic rock tones with a single gain control. It’s perfect for rolling back your guitar’s volume for clean tones, then pushing through to crunch and lead sounds when needed, with 100 watts of power providing maximum clean headroom. Three-position Voice switch: Adds a bit of extra gain as you move through the settings, making it easy to match the amp’s response to different guitars and pickup types. Bright switch: A simple toggle that adds instant top-end sparkle, allowing you to shape the sound of whatever you use before the amp exactly the way you want it. Simple, powerful EQ: The three-band EQ offers plenty of tone-sculpting potential, while the Presence control works within the power section to dial in exactly the right amount of bite and cut. Digital reverb: The Deputy 100 features a footswitchable onboard reverb, which sits somewhere between a plate and hall-type sound. It’s smoother and more modern sounding than a traditional spring reverb, with upper settings adding a glorious shimmer to your tone. Effects loop: Prefer using your own ambient effects?
