VICTORY AMPS| V.1 THE SHERIFF
$250.00 USD |
The amp was designed as is the pedal to cover tones from all Plexi sounds including modern versions with high gain.
The name is a twist on Jim Marshalls nickname 'The Gov'nor'.
The layout is gain, volume, bass, mids, treble and tone. Tone is a treble cut.
CONCLUSIONYou can not make one amp or pedal to nail every Marshall amp, but as a one size fits all rep of the 'Brit Sound' it is a very impressive OD. It is worthy of being considered as part of anyone's kit. BUT!
Note the first video is from the company and the pedal is definitely going through
a serious over produced digital rig. The second does not give us any info on what
it goes through.
Add to that we do not have a review only a demonstration. Nothing is perfect we need some info what the flaws are. Even the Victory Amp is a broad take on a Marshall.
So the pedal by admission is 'not' a Marshall but an impression.
My great sounding NUX $60.00 USD Plexi Crunch is an impression. Why should
I pay over 4 times more? I have and would again. BUT! I need more convincing.
In short lets wait for the serious 'reviews'.
the fine print
None of the other Victory pedals have any serious reviews so I will hold off doing a Post on each. I picked the Sheriff as any MIAB is not only popular but even an average one by anyone is usable. The Kraken is more JCM 800. Others include a Fenderish one. Fender pedals are rarely even passable. Vox pedals are either Beatle-ish or Brian May in the buyer's thinking but the actual real amp for the most part sounds quite like a Marshall variant.
The Jack Metal pedal is in generic. A love hate thing as there are Soldano, Peavey 5150, MESA Dual/Rec choices to be had to tempt those that want a pedal to get the sound of their fave players amp.
Each one will take a lot of explaining as to why or why not to buy.
I dropped in a video with a lot of explaining as a teaser.
