Victory MKX Guitar Amplifier Head (50 Watts)
zZounds Gear Experts Say...
The Victory MKX is a greatest hits collection of Martin Kidd's most revered tones -- sporting three independant channels of robust British cleans/gains.
Overview
For over twelve years Victory has made a name for itself providing tone to players with various successful ranges; from the Duchess to the Kraken, the Copper to the Sheriff and more.
Victory released Martin Kidd's ultimate guitar amplifier - the MK Overdrive - an amp inspired by some of Martin's most famous & well-loved original guitar amp tones from the last 3 decades. The MK OD was quickly deemed one of the best amps ever made by customers, artists and media alike.
While the MK OD incorporated a luxury, 'no expense spared' approach to its design, along with various levels of visual customization, the MKX captures the heart & soul of the MK OD in a compact & more competitively priced amplifier. Still manufactured in the UK to the high standards of all Victory products, but designed & priced to be used by professional musicians the world over.
Featuring three channels - Clean, OD1, OD2, independent gain, volume and EQ sections, two master volumes, and two different reverb types each with level and decay controls, all packed into a 50 watt valve lunchbox head.
Taking inspiration from all of the above but adding features to give the MKX its own identity, this is the culmination of years of development and expertise from the Victory team.
- Covering all of the clean tones you could want - A bright, chiming clean sound with its own EQ, Gain and Level control. Ideal for everything from funky chord work, jazz standards and much more...Upper gain… read more settings will give you 'edge of breakup' type sounds.
- OD1 - THE CLASSIC VICTORY CRUNCH
- With separate Clean and Overdrive channels, this overdrive channel offers two gain modes: Gain 1 for Crunch and Rhythm sounds, while Gain 2 provides full-on saturated overdrive.
- OD2 - ALL THE LEAD TONES AND HIGH GAIN SOUNDS
- Solos with instant sustain, the heaviest of riffs without sacrificing tone or definition. Standard tuning, drop tuning or anything else you want to throw at it. The OD2 channel has its own gain control and shares and EQ section and level control with the OD1 channel.
- VALVE COMPLIMENT
- The MKX has 3 x ECC83 preamp valves and 2 x EL34 output valves.
- TWO MASTER VOLUMES
- Need a versatile output stage? Or a volume lift on any of the three channels? Consider it done with the two Master Volumes activated by the included foot switch.
- DUAL REVERB
- Reverb I is a vintage classic spring-style reverb, ideal for all of those authentic tones. Reverb II is a modern reverb inspired by The Deputy, ranging from subtle ambiance to full shimmering immersion. Each Reverb type has a level and decay control allowing for the ultimate balance of ambience and versatility.
- HIGH / LOW OUTPUT
- As with all other Victory Lunchbox heads, the switchable output gives you the option of different power output and character. For the MKX, high output is 50 watts RMS and Low output is 9 Watts RMS.
- REAR PANEL
- Features include an FX Loop, bias points and more. The included foot-switch allows for channel, OD1/2, Master 1/2, reverb.
