Description
Victory Amplification proudly introduce the VX Kraken MKII electric guitar head! The MKII is the result of 4 years of development, built on top of the legacy of the original, and represents the next step of evolution of the Kraken! The MKII was made in collaboration with Victory artist Rabea Massaad, and retains all the features from the original, and has extra features, and provides more versatility. The amplifier has a High/Low power mode. You can run the amp as a 50w powerhouse, or you can switch it down to a 9v amp, meaning you can practice with it in a home setting, making it versatile for many playing environments.
Guitar.com have reviewed the Kraken MKII as “One of the best metal amps money can buy with a clean and classic rock channel thrown in to boot.”
Two Gain Channels
- Gain 1 – Classic British-inspired rhythm tones. A Clean mode has been added with the Kraken MKII, which can be controlled with the included footswitch, or the three-way switch on the front panel of the amplifier.
- Gain 2 – An American modern, tight, searing high gain.
Two Master Volumes
The Kraken MKII has two master volume controls, which can be controlled with the footswitch. The master volume assign switch can switch the volume controls to be set globally across channels, or to their original Gain channels.
