OVERDRIVE- VICTORY AMPS V1 The Copper Pedal ...classic Vox vibe

 VICTORY AMPS| V.1 THE COPPER 
$250.00 USD
Yes this is Victorys take on their own amp of the same name. To get to the point the pedal is a Vox AC30-in-a-Box . So I will go straight to the layout. It is a straight forward volume gain, treble, mid and bass. They wisely have kept it simple. The Vox AC30 is hard to nail in a pedal. With other pedals they take the approach that you can get more out of it by giving more toys to mess with the sound. The trouble is a Vox has very exacting specifics and shades of grey to get right so if you want a damn convincing sound it has to be nailed in the circuit. Only the smallest of tweaks can they allow and those should be just so it can work with your rig. 
The pedal is designed and built by Thorpy Pedals so it is overbuilt to the extreme. 
CONCLUSION
The amp screams early Beatles sound when the gain is not pushed. They left the Brian May extras out of it. If you want that then buy the BMG Electronics KAT. It's Brians own brand with the 3 voices of the different treble boosters he used over the years.  
I have 'never' heard a more realistic Vox AC30 sound than that with The Copper.
