What You Need To Know

1 What’s going on here? Doesn’t Victory make amps, not pedals?

It does, but this new series of effects are built to reproduce the sounds of its amp range but in solid-state pedal format. They’re designed by Victory’s Martin Kidd in collaboration with Adrian Thorpe of ThorpyFX.

2 Didn’t Victory release some pedals a while back?

No, you’re thinking of the V4 ultra-compact and lightweight single-channel guitar amplifiers, which are pretty feature-laden and employ Two Notes cabinet emulation.

3 What’s in this new range?

There are five pedals with the familiar Victory family voicings: The Copper, The Duchess, The Jack, The Kraken and The Sheriff. Along with the V4s and these new V1 pedals, each Victory family includes various combo and head formats, plus cabs, of course. The choice is yours.

Victory has enjoyed considerable success in recent years with its compact V4 preamp and amplifier
