Victory has become one of the UK's leading guitar amp brands, with dozens of high-profile players relying on its portable lunchbox-style amp heads for performance and recording.
Joining their flagship Compact Series is 'The Copper', an EL84-driven 35w head that captures the chimey essence of legendary AC-style amps from the past. With several modern refinements up its sleeve though, the Victory 'The Copper' is a tweakable, professional-grade amplifier that even modern players can get onboard with.
User-Friendly Formula
The Victory 'The Copper' follows the brand's lightweight Compact Series chassis design, making this lunchbox-style head incredibly portable for gigs. Its size is deceiving though, as this EL84-driven amp has plenty of power at its disposal – with up to 35w of headroom available.
If that seems like too much for the home though, you can power down to a more modest 7W. This lets you enjoy that super-sweet preamp break-up without annoying the neighbours! This function is also useful in a studio scenario, especially if sensitive mics are employed to capture the amp's sound.
AC-Style Clean & Crunch Tones
With just a single channel, the Victory DP40 may seem quite limited to some players. However, its no-nonsense design makes it the perfect amp for plug-in-and-play guitarists that prefer simplicity, with clean and crunch sounds the DP40's speciality.
Voicing & Mid Kick Switches
Despite its single channel, the DP40 is far from one-dimensional. With a dedicated voicing switch on its front panel, you can change the overall response and feel of the amplifier. One of these voicings has a warm '60s-style American character, while the other has more a '50s-esque bark to it – akin to most British amps. There's also a 'Mid Kick' function that, as its name suggests, delivers a rich dose of punchy mid-range.
Perfect Pedal Platform
The DP40 is ideal as a pedal platform, which is a quality that Danish Pete particularly loves about the V40. Set up your preferred base tone via the amp and simply colour it with pedals that can enrich its sound; much like Honoré does with his own overdrive and compressor stompboxes. To ensure that time-based delay and reverb pedals work harmoniously, the DP40 also boasts an effects loop that enables clean pedal operation between its preamp and power amp stages.
Studio-Quality Reverb
Victory's DP40 is designed to take pedals well, but its built-in, studio-quality reverb is definitely worthy of note. Slightly different to the V40's reverb, the effect in the DP40 is tweaked to have a longer decay with a pinch of extra brightness – perfect for embellishing clean tones.
It’s all about the chime. And the rock. And the rock’n’roll. And the roots and the blues and the pop. Please read more for images, details and to place an order.
