Victory Deputy

[laxu]

New for 2024.

• Single channel, no frills amp.
• 25W using 2x EL86. Yes, you read that right!
• 3 voice switch and on/off bright switch.
• Series fx loop.
• Digital reverb that's somewhere between a hall and a plate.
• 2x12 and oversized 1x12 cabs with Creambacks.

Sounds pretty nice to me. The digital reverb on the Victory VC35 I had was great, this is probably the same thing.

Sounds good very Voxy

Cool, an amp you'll never be able to find tubes for! Or are EL86's interchangeable with EL84's? I really don't know. Victory seems to like to use tubes that aren't common, in a world where tubes are already on life support to a large extent.

Sounds like an easy switch. EL84 = less output and harder clipping.

Wow, good job Anderton’s for getting the early scoop on this amp before anyone else!

HOW DID THEY DO IT?!?!?!?

-kept it as close to chest as humanly possible
until the canary found it’s way out of the coal mine.

Sounds pretty nice in Pete Thorn's demo:

yes it does and the aesthetics are actually very nice and understated and not black and gold , I like it

 

[Tanax]

Sounds really good tbh! Looks great too.
Obviously based on the JTM45 and provides very similar improvements as the Friedman LS provides - except 200€ cheaper here in Europe.
So a great alternative for Europeans.

Today they've launched a Lunchbox version of The Deputy.

That shaves £100 off the price.

That’s cool, but nah. Ever since they came out with wood sleeves, I’ve preferred those.

Victory is top of list, if I ever think about going back to tube amps.

 

[jellodog]

@paisleywookiee I agree that the wood sleeves are way nicer.

EF86s are fun.

Probably the most Hi-Fi sounding of all the Preamp tube types. In my experience.

The clarity and detail is amazing.... or brutal and depressing.

 

[jellodog]

@la szum It's NOS EL86 Power Amp tubes.

No EF86 preamp tubes here. I agree that they're great though!

One for each of the power tubes.

I have to. Otherwise I can't accurately quote passages from the Nebcoromponcon.

Your civic duties and responsibilities here are infinitely more vital than mine, Orv!
