Amazing amps! Also, just happened to watch one of your older Anderton's vids (Gilmore while breaking the budget $$) and I'm just so impressed with how healthy you've gotten. Good job man! Keep rockin' Rabea!
The Copper eq/tone setup remind me my Laney Lionheart, that was basically an implementation of AC30.. It also has the 3band+tone. And I enjoyed it very much.
The Copper is basically something in between a Vox AC30 and Matchless. I have the full lunchbox amp and it's a fantastic modern interpretation of that type of tone. The little pedals sound surprisingly authentic.
Still rocking my Victory V4 Kraken pre-amp pedal in my rig. Kinda sacrilege as I'm using it in standalone mode into the front end of my amp but the tones don't lie and it's the happiest I've ever been with my tone so I'd say it's doing the job! Absolutely incredible pieces of kit. 🔥👌
So easy and convenient I feel like I still have my amp and all my pedals on one board, with cab outs and a di i am coverd, I love em. Thanks for the video brother,
Thats mean! I have always been pretty old school, not much experience with this kind of digital stuff but I think it sounds great and your playing is real nice too. Good video man, you have got my attention and piqued my interest for sure, gonna check them out. The valve circuitry would be the clincher. Gotta have that valve feel!
Hey Rabea, thx for this awesome review, i can't understand why the Algorithm doesn't pushed you earlier to my dashboard but im happy that i am here now. Nice gear review from a passionate chilled guitar god :D!
Mornin from Arizona Rabea! Exciting stuff! I had a Jack preamp but I wished it had power cuz I dont like runnin a huge pedal board. This announcement is great news! These are much more up my alley. Have a great week brother 🙏🏻🌅
The pedal sounds great. The only thing that I really don't understand is why a shared eq. Probably when you have set a good sparkly clean sound is not gonna work exactly well for the high gain channel that seems to be very bright and needs a lot less highs to avoid harshness. I don't know. Anyway Victory is a good amp maker and probably they have their own philosophy. Good video as usual. 👍
Rabea! Would you consider doing some Metal/Punk tone demos with the Jack? I'd love to hear that one used in that context and you're the man with the ear for that I'm sure! Thanks for all the work you did with Victory on the Kraken, I've got both the VX and V4 Amp versions and haven't been happier with an amp ever. Stoked to be a part of the Victory team myself as well, and it's pretty wicked to get to say I'm on the same roster with you! Cheers!
The Copper sounds incredible!!! Idk if i like the Copper or the Dutchess more for clean tones. I really want to build a wet dry wet with the victory v4 amps. I wouldnt be able to afford 3 of them plus 3 cabs, but man would it be amazing. 😁 definitely going to save up and try one of them out.
Great demo of this super cool amp range. I am setting up a rig right now for MAJIK BAND with an Amp1 which has a similar form factor but he tube is in the class D power section. I kind of feel like I still need a tube preamp in front so I’m looking for the right one. Overall I’m very happy with it. I’d love to try one of these to swap in the spot of the Amp1 for different sounds. I’ll add it to the list. Cheers. Dr. Greg MAJIK BAND guitarist 🎸
I love mine with one exception. I have yet to find a fuzz, overdrive or boost that sounds good with this amp. Alone it’s great but sometimes you want a slightly different sound.
Great demo, was just saying on the andertons channel i think it would have to be the Sheriff for me. I wish it could have come in a little more affordable given you do need to have a decent pedalboard built around it (for me to get most from it) like demonstrated here. But its definitely firmly on the wishlist. I guess ill be at the point of choosing either Neural QC and the pedals i have, Or this and a few extra pedals and both would come in around the same sort of cash. With this having the added bonus of not needing a power amp.
I love the inclusion of the headphone jack, along with all the other features and abilities. Makes it great for practicing with annoying the neighbours or domestic authorities. My wife is astonishingly patient, but there are limits.
Is there a difference in the power amp between the different models? For example, if I bought a V4 Duchess Amp and a V4 Copper preamp and ran them using the 4 cable method, would the V4 Copper running into the V4 Duchess sound the same as if I just had the V4 Copper Amp?
Oh yes, these look awesome! .. I have a Sheriff v4 first gen & the only thing I find is that as a 2 channel preamp I really wanted separate tone controls for each channel so that it’s easier to balance them... as they do different it’s a compromise one way or another, i.e. that if your clean tone is on point the dirty is not quite & if we had separate tone control both can be on point without having to touch the pedal. Bloody awesome otherwise though!
Great demo, great playing, love your guitarplay, always.... I was hoping for this AC-version. Great amp. The Copper sounds to me very far away from a Vox.
Loved the Copper, love your musicality, that just shines through.... And that tone ...is it driven by the BKP board you swapped because it sounds so lush and deep
OK not to sound stupid but if you are still answering questions on this product, I currently have the V4 sheriff preamp pedal running into a Marshall silver jubilee running into a 2 x 12 Friedman with scumbag speakers. I want to know if I can replace this area of my rig and upgrade to this model of the sheriff pedal. I know it will act as independent amplifier, which is fantastic but I also use it a great deal to put in front of amplifiers when I am traveling around, so I want to know can I still go through other amplifiers if there is not a speaker cab sometimes some of these places will only have a combo amplifier I could certainly pull the plug I guess but if it’s a 25 W amp I’m just wanting to know can I operate it as a regular pedal still to convert or actually, the truth is the reason I put it in front of the Marshall is because honestly the victory gain sounds are tremendously better just like the build of Friedman cabinets are better in the USA victory cabinets tend to be more expensive because of needing to be shipped here like the marshals are cheaper for you guys. Either way I love the victory stuff I have a sheriff 22 but again Taking that extra head around I have just found the V4 to be more effective and I dig the jubilee for certain things as well. Have to play a lot of classic rock, but the vintage channel is ideal for me and as I am watching this video, I am also considering the difference in the cost of this, and if I can come up with enough money to purchase The new victory we shall see thanks but just want to know if I can use it for a pedal. Sorry for the book I wrote great demo is always Man. Your channel is fantastic. Thank you again.
Are you able to display which two notes setting you used for the Sheriff? It would be great to know what your cab sim settings were as a starting point if possible. Thanks.
This is awesome! I have a question, since I'm not a very technical guy on these things. So are you able to run the amps including the sounds of effects pedal through an interface and get the exact same sound as you would get when amplifying it through a standard cab?`So basically getting my signature sound into the DAW without having to mic a cab and record that signal.
Yeah basically yeh. It’s not the exact sound of a mic’d up cab- it’s an impulse response- which you’d have to watch a video on to understand it’s like a clever reverb basically - but they sound very similar, plus you have different options of cabs
Hey Rabea! can you do on these new amps what you did with the Dutchess and the sheriff preamp? I mean using for instance the Sheriff amp as main amp and the copper preamp hooked up with the four cable system? It would be great to know (and maybe new video idea:)))
@@bcjaliu i believe for home recording, stereo can be added within the computer or a desk with out board effects etc with a bit of work. but these pedals are designed for live use and have only a mono option signal to send to desk or on stage cab..
Does it clean up by rolling back the volume of the guitar? Currently I am playing a BluGuitar Amp1 and I am considering switching to the V4 Copper. I am more of a Vox guy than Marshall. What I like most about the Amp1 ist the cleaning up when rolling back the volume.
+++ Thank you so much Rabea for this high detailed video+++ i still can not make a dicission which Victory Amp i am about to buy. I loved your V40 D Video especialy the Strat loop part later on. I really want to know what overdrive you used for the lead voice over the clean loop ???, pls tell me :-) i love those creamy Santana-like Sounds. do you think the v40D is the right choice for that tone???
I am pretty new to victory amps, ( I have some marshalls and a 5150) ... I would like a preamps that can give me a sound similar to a dual rectifier ( modern gain), is any of the many victory preamps able to get close that sound??? if so which one? Kraken? ( I have not found any place around where i live to demo all of them, very few place have them and if so they mostly only got one of them, .. Australia )
So the fan is not automatic? There is a review on ams saying the v4 kraken quit after a month I'd really like to think something was done wrong but really don't know
Hey Bea, probably a dumb question but would you ever compare your signature model to other t type signatures? For example, Joe Duplantier of Gojira or Richy Kotzen
Hahaha to be honest. It’s each to their own. Mick likes what he likes! I can’t hold it against him! Although I’d looooove to hear him play the Toneking plugin by neural, and see what he thinks of that.
Hey Rabea I've got a question about the V4 Sheriff here. When you're going direct with the XLR or line out (with cab sim), is the class D power amp being used? Or is it a power amp sim from the Two Notes part of the circuit?
the XLR use the two notes technology cab, amp and mikes simulation, you can change presets with a computer; line out send a direct feed to a separate cab simulator
I have the V4 Copper at home right now. Running it through a 1x12 cab there is quite some noise and hiss without adding gain. It’s seems like it’s preamp noise. Also the FX Loop seems to pick up noise easily. Is this normal for this amp? Coming from a BliGuitar Amp1 I’m not used to this kind of noise level.
Ah man I'm going to have to look into the Copper one. Bea can I run the Copper one into my Victory 2x12 copper cab? However cab is 16ohm input and has a Greenback 25 and a Celestion gh12h Aniversary 30. So 55 watt only total. It would sound wicked through copper Victory cab.
@@MooCow2X2 Awesome mate nice one. 👍 45 Watts is all I need for most purposes. Then I'll use my King of Tone and MXR Line driver to boost for solo stuff. I'm a Blues vibe guy so think this is going to be ideal with the Victory 2x12. 🎸
Not getting the British mid bloom 🤔 British amp's are starting to sound American or it could be the settings. It all turned around seems the us are making the best British amp's these days. Matchless, bad cat & dr z. How ironic 😒 even shur & the always there Traynor. Except for Marshall that always sucked from across the pond. Ampeg got that one.
