Product Description
The Victory V1 Series comprises five compact "amp-in-a-box" drive pedals, with each unit based on one of the British brand's core guitar amp families — from the clean boutique-inspired Duchess, to the monstrous high-gain Kraken!
Designed in collaboration with award-winning pedal maker Adrian Thorpe MBE (of ThorpyFX) and hand-built in the UK, these high-quality effects gloriously capture the essence of Victory's acclaimed amplifiers in incredible detail.
Victory V1 'The Kraken'
This particular V1 pedal is all about gain! Made to emulate the colossal distortion tones of the VX Kraken amp (designed with Rabea Massaad), the V1 Kraken pedal can inject your rig with ferocious drive — turning any modest clean amplifier into a gigantic-sounding beast! Keeping the gain control down will yield the British-style distortion of the VX's first channel. Increase the gain knob to move more towards American territory; replicating channel 2 on the VX amplifier.
Key Features
- 3-Band EQ — Akin to the tone-shaping controls you'd find on guitar amplifiers, these knobs allow you to precisely adjust the lows, mids and highs; offering more sonic flexibility than most drive pedals.
- Top-Mounted Jacks — The input and output jacks, along with the power input, are ergonomically placed at the top of the enclosure to help save precious real-estate on your pedalboard.
- Dependable Design — The robust steel chassis is made to survive even the most demanding of tours, with the solid-state circuitry ensuring years of reliable use.
Martin Kidd & Adrian Thorpe on the V1 Series:
"Being able to make use of Adrian Thorpe's experience, and the various subtleties of his design ethic, enabled us to better appeal to the player who likes a clean amp platform; getting their various sounds from pedals." — Martin Kidd, Chief Designer at Victory
"We were keen to make the V1 pedals sound as close to the full-bore valve amps as possible, in solid-state pedal form. It took a long time and many times we had to go back to the drawing board. Despite this, maintaining an uncompromising nature of what the Victory sound is, means that pedal fiends worldwide can enjoy these; no matter what their flavour preferences." — Adrian Thorpe MBE, ThorpyFX
