As far as I'm concerned, Victory is THE UK amp that I would spend my money on now (don't get me wrong, I love all things UK and amps that come from the Isles. It's just...there's a brand loyalty happening here on my end and Martin is a gentleman and a scholar)
Same here. I certainly concur with that statement. The intro of this video confirms they are the cream of the industry. And Martin is an extremely nice, non-egotistical man who so obvious only very intelligent.
I think this is the best victory amp so far, utterly stunning tones and Mick that outro was probably the best I've ever heard you. Awesome amp and demo guys👏👏👏
Id still go Superkraken ... As Rabea demonstrated on his channel, it easily delivers great cleans or crunchy blues tones with thick rock and metal stuff in one package.
I was going to say how much I liked the sound of Mick's strat thorugh this and I've never heard it sound so nice. But every guitar into it sounds incredible. Future classic on offer here I think.
Beautiful! In every single way. Will be dreaming of a three amp rig now - this, a 6L6 V40, and a Sheriff. Damn! Martin Kidd - you just have it! What a bloke; what a brand! Beautiful!
I'm so happy that Martin came up with this, it sounds terrific and nails that glassy kicking tone! If a preamp pedal format is in the works, I'll be the first to snap it up!
After falling in love with the AC/Matchless tones in my Helix (long time Mesa fan) I've been looking at Vox inspired amps... THIS is the sound I've had in my head.
I waited and was not disappointed! For me Victory amps are the best amps for great value. I love my V40D and now i want VC35 for wet dry ! Great production as always guys! Love !
These guys love fuzz. Martin seemed to be enjoying it too! Although the Broadcast does a great clean boost as well. Works so well with VC35 The Copper.
That was one of the best tones I’ve ever heard on a RU-vid demo. Stunning and ferocious bite and sting from Rebea’s LP Custom. Looking forward to purchasing and playing both.
Ive had this amp for about a year now. I like to run it with the mid boost on and the bass cut off for really robust lead tones. It gets really hairy when you through a lot of gain at it, so don't expect it to chug. But it compresses beautifully and really cuts. Definitely happy with it, especially considering the price compared to other "boutique" amps out there.
I absolutely love my Copper, i never thought that any amp makers would get awsome clean sounds and amazing dirty sounds, in the uk vox hand the clean and marshall the dirty, butthis truly delivers on both, i use with a mex standard tele and a marshall 1973 bass organ lead 2x12. Also sounds way bigger than a 35, butway smaller
It’s interesting reading back through the comments at how many people have noted that certain pedals and guitars sound amazing through this demo. It just shows how the Copper takes pedals and guitars so well regardless of which you use!
Gorgeous cleans and sexy leads, nice addition to the amps, I would enjoy a Kemper scan of this amp. Martin has such a joy about him of music and engineering. Thanks!
This is a fantastic video and helped me decide on a Copper over a Sheriff. BUT, it would be nice if the guitars weren't blocking the amp's controls for large parts of the video. I'd like to cop some of those settings myself.
Thank you Thank you for manufacturing amplifiers in England and not in China like Orange Amps but above all for having affordable prices for Amplifiers Made In UK Kiss From France
Fascinating, illuminating, and just plain enjoyable demo (sounded wonderful though my Grados)! Like others, I came here from the Andertons showcase video. I got the same impression from both, that the cleans are just glorious regardless of what guitar you plugged into. That changes appreciably with overdrive/distortion, though. In both videos the humbuckers resulted in (to my ears) a more "controlled", perhaps smooth sound, than the single coils which were "spittier". I take it this is what Mick was picking up as a sort of "fuzz" tone from the amp's overdrive, or what Martin was calling "gritty". I come away from both videos wondering if the amp can be dialled achieve that smoother overdrive for single-coil instruments, too. It wasn't immediately apparent, or rather seemed to suggest possibly not. So then the question becomes one of whether certain pedals would allow you to achieve that -- to which the answer is "probably", but would take some deep dives and time for trial-and-error testing! In any case, The Copper looks like a superb achievement, and I'll be hoping one comes to my neck of Scotland in the not-too-distant future! Kudos!
The EF86 tone stacks are a different flavor than the 12AX7 tube in V1 socket . Now we have a EF84 tube in V1 and sounds great actually . I wonder what other tone flavors there are using other receiver tubes ! I have used big Octal tubes in the Stromberg Carlson PA amp converted to guitar or microphone and is a wonderful blues harmonica amp with its deep tones , guitar tones are good but different because the highs the 12ax7 tubes have are not there but a more midrange tone is produced by octal receiver tubes.
So I own the v40 deluxe combo and love it so much, but I would love to have a copper or kraken for a dual rig. The copper has so much presence and the kraken is just a monster
Does this amp do everything? I'd say yes. I heard all of the Big 3 on this vid. Though the "f" sounds were a bit more brown face or tweedy to me, which ain't a bad thing
This is brilliant. I played in the 80's with a band in Colnbrook near Slough called, 'Strand Der Vard'. Our main guitarist (Po) played through a vintage AC30 with blue speakers (worth a fortune now I guess) but got his sound almost ALL through the amp. I think he used a RAT distortion for boost but the amps warm sound did most of the work. This is a modern, complementary example of this but clearly with much less hair?? (Punkesque)?
I love when Mick strikes couple of May-like chords and stops there for a sec with a little smile! I wonder it would sound if you stacked 9 of these heads! Had an AC30 for years, and this amp sounds amazing. Those tight cleans are sooo good
