Pete's playing makes the world go round!
Gotta love some new Victory amp tones, I love my V50 very much and I don't mind preaching the gospel of Martin Kidd and his awesome amp to others. Sounds stellar, gents!
It’s 4:00 in the morning here in the states and I must say, sleep is definitely a no-go after seeing a new video is up!
Yeah, I've been sipping my coffee and then started chugging it down considering a cheaper matchless kinda amp!
This, IMHO, is Victory’s best amp. That thing sounds incredible from beginning to end. The crunch on that thing has classic hard rock write ALL OVER it. But, the clean is pristine, as well. Just….WOW. Put a quality OD on the front, and you can play all the 70’s/80’s music worth playing.
I'm sold. Clean is like a big clean Vox tone. Overdriven it becomes a Marshall
What cleans, lol? This amp seemingly has zero headroom. Sounds great for those broken up rock chords but no way this can do chimey cleans at proper band volume. Unfortunate..
@@VintageRadius I’m thinking the same thing... It’s a damn shame though! The amp sounds awesome but I need to play clean clean from time to time...
This was on my short list of amps to give me more headroom than my AC15C1... but I'm not hearing any headroom. I mean... maybe change out the V1 to a 12AY7. So maybe a Dr Z Maz 38?
I'd be interested in 'same amp, different cab.' video. The allure for having non-combos is to have 1 good cab & multiple amps.
The Vox AC30S1 sounded better recorded by Andertons. I’d love to hear a comparison between a Vox AC30S1 vs Victory VC35 vs Dr. Z!
Lee and Pete, thanks for a great demo as always! I just ordered my VC35 Deluxe in the States, will be here in the next few days. I'm a Sheriff 44 and Deluxe V40 Deluxe head owner also. Can't say enough good things about Victory amps! I will eventually outfit them with Victory cabinets also. You guys were spot-on about amps that sound great through some speakers and cabinets and not through others. I'd be very interested to see your demo of various amp with various speakers. It might take a bit of work to set up but it would be a very useful demo.
Cheers!
Mike in Nebraska, USA
What's really interesting is that the bass middle and treble knobs are really just tweaking knobs where no position is unusable. The tone knob really changes the overall EQ. Really cool feature.
Hit it with a treble booster and a strat and get your Rory on! Love it.
That is what I'd love to here
"drizzled his DNA into it." Gross.
pete's face at 5:30 in response to this phrase is gold
@@campbelltron LOL!
Hahaha
I came here after Pete tried the Copper V1 pedal and that tone was so good I had to check out one of the actual amps and this amp is screaming my name…. Definitely on my list now
Victory amps are going to start stealing Marshall's thunder at the rate that they are going.
I love vox amps they just have a sparkle that other amps seem to lack and I think that Victory has in a sense captured that Vox quality sparkle and moved it into modern capabilities in a more utilitarian unit with the Copper. I have played AC 30 for years but they don't particularly like being pushed to be nasty and it seems that the Copper doesn't mind the challenge. Thanks fellas.
Slick editsss haha awesome vid cap
Complements to the editor
I’d love for you to compare victory’s the new vc35, the v40 deluxe you’ve raves about and Pete’s model. We need to hear these side by side!
Got to say, this is the first Victory which I’d be tempted to buy - the higher gain stuff always sounds thrashy and shrill when cranked (the Kraken especially), which seems to become very mushy and prone to clipping. This stays clear and articulate even at higher gain.
I quite like the idea of the pedalboard version of this, as it seems very versatile in sound, but simple in terms of controls/features.
Nice sounding amplifier and good demo. Each guitars voice honestly represented.
Well nice to see victory getting into this type of tone thank god
Danish Pete's could plug into a PB and J sandwich and make it sound like the greatest amp on the planet......and most of us would buy one.
Don't need Danish Pete for that! Gotta love some PB&J
Man that sure would be a mess! hahaha!
Cringe
Best vox type I've ever heard, does the dirty beautifully
Listen to Benson Earheart
We just really enjoy u guys and learn a lot from u guys . because of these webcast is how we decide on to buy a certain product or not . and my man and I just want to say thank u for the great entertainment . we really enjoy you guys just jamming . if u guys cud a lot more jamming. I was hoping it could be a webcast were all of u guys are jamming to gather. Please. Please
Bloody hell that sounds good
Forget the amp the selection of guitars on the intro. They are the perfect 👌🏻 wish list.
The captain looks so happy during the intro jam 😊
Thanks for mentioning which backing track was used! Could you going forward put the backing track info in the captions of the video? This is very helpful and great to practice! Thank you so much!
Lee i would love to hear you playing some blues through this, Wow what a great sounding amp!
Maybe a Clapton Strat with the Mid Boost!
Where is Pete's goldtop LP, I miss that thing in the videos, hasn't been here since the "lacquer cracking" experiment
@@dizzyrider3883 I don't think he did, maybe Pete took it home and it's not in the "video room" anymore, I wanna see the thing, that's all :D
Capt Lee, Pete, Andertons: Will you guys do an in depth review of the new line of Mesa Boogie California Tweeds amps please? I'm pondering on of these, and I can't think of anyone who would do a more honest and better review than you guys. Thumbs up if you'd like to see this one too. Thanks!
That strat sound at the beginning!
I’m here just to listen to Pete playing. Thanks for selling musical gear the way they should be sold.
That is all very nice. But can you make ‘Captain meets John Mayer’? Just pop in to his concert tomorrow with a meet and greet pass and shoot 🤗
Pete, you sound so much better with a strat.
I gotta agree. I do think the Startocaster is the perfect guitar design, both in terms of playability, comfort, versatility and sound.
Everyone has their preferences, and it’s understandable why someone would prefer a Les Paul or a Tele.
That's every American TV theme in the 70's.Brilliant.
I LOVE this amp! I'm so glad I had it in my possession for a night. But it has sold me! Please, please, PLEASE send one of these to Chris Buck! 🙏🏻
great video!! Great amp, awesome sweetalicious licks by Mr Pete!
Oh, oh, oh. How *good* did that Strat sound at 26:00? *Very* good - beautiful, in fact. ("Better" match, imo, than the LP.) OTOH, agree that the LP "took" the pedals better. In any case, great demo - thanks!
So nice to here a tasteful demo from Pete.
I would like to hear the 2 Amps together. I think the range of tones that they would cover would make the sound huge
Good lord that sounds good. Must be the best Victory amp yet.
Lee’s dad dancing 0:17 god me xD
Very Epic Iron Oxide Only 27 Pounds yeah that was awkward 👌😂
That's a Victory I'd buy. Vox is my thing
I'm currently choosing between the VC35 and DP40. I'm surprised you had both in this video and only briefly compared clean tones. It would be nice to see Pete do a full video on the DP40. I know he's played on it in a couple episodes but it hasn't been highlighted on it's own episode yet.
"Did Lee just say Authentic"?, The Captian, "Yes I did".
Awesome amp😍 I want one for sure 👍🏼
Finally - an AUTHENTIC amp demo! Well played, Pete - you rock (even on a G**son ... well shit the duckdape did not help hide all the logo business) :D :D
11:43 Goes from neck pickup straight to bridge.
Someone made an edit mistake
Me gusto "Hola amigos" desde Santiago de Chile on fire
Great playing, the strat sounds best on that amp.....
I play amps with EF86 input valve all the time and there is nothing unstable about them ;)
Vox + Fender together = HEAVEN
This was... um... nice and all... Love to hear Pete jamming away... But... where in the blue hell is my All About the Bass fix?
Beautiful Tele!
Should be PRS Pete's Guitar
Sold buying one !
The big thing about vox was having no negative feedback.
One of designers flaws, that make old amp sound magic
stanislavmigra pretty sure it was done on purpose. But yes definitely the reason Vox‘s sound the way they do.
Please do a video on speakers!
The moire pattern on the cab's grill cloth let me believe there was some shotty workmanship involved, but it turned out Victory's reputation was manipulated by optics.
So I currently own the v40 deluxe combo and would love to have a copper for a dual rig. Even the v4 copper. It has so much more presence than the v40
Martin Kid, the Gandalf of guitar amps 😍
This is the first Victory head I really want.... how is the master on it? Mainly for practicing in the house... for recording I'll go direct into a reactive load thingee.... most people aren't going to benefit from the 2x12 though... a nice 1x12 with a blue or greenback will both sound great, clean or gainy with an AC30 circuit.
DAM it , That Pete can play / he reminds of Denmarks version of GE Smith on a Tele
Pete rocks. Homeboy can play.
When a review of the vc35 copper deluxe? I’d love to see a comparison with the v40 deluxe and the Morgan mvp23 which has the same valves of the vc35
This amp is hands down victorys best amp because of the tone now its not overly thin like the others and they added it so you can have a little more bass end and thats great I will say this is my favorite victory amp I would never ever buy a victory amp because of there tone this one on the other hand I would get in a heartbeat
I am just going to wait for the VC35 “DELUXE” model
WINNER
My question is, why would I want to buy the Victory over the Vox? They both sound great but what does Victory offer that’s better?
. It is vox inspired but not copy. Diffrent beast! Better Master, low power mode, more compact size, uk made, great service support, just crazy good little amp.
Michał Cora oh didn’t catch that it has a lower wattage option.
More videos with Pete, he is so much better than Chappers!
what a great sounding amp!!! Love it!!
Rock Machine \m/ !
Can you guys do a video where you compare the sheriff 22, the VC35, the V40 and the V30 countess?? Would be useful for someone who can decide between them
Awesome vid btw!!
Or maybe just VC35 vs sheriff 22
Makes me wonder how many youngsters know who Mick Taylor is ? He was always my favorite from that band !
kimbalxyz2 Wait, what band? I thought he was just famous for (co)hosting That Pedal Show?
@@OtherTheDave your kidding right ?
kimbalxyz2 Nope. Well, I knew he was editor of some guitar magazine or something, but I am unaware of any of his (or Dan’s) work as a musician. Shall I prepare my mind to be blown?
That’s the best sounding Victory I’ve ever heard. Best tone I feel like I’ve ever heard on Andertons too
That's what I thought. I've probably only watched maybe 20 videos with Peter in it, and that intro might have been my favorite playing so far. I'm not sure... 2 1/2 minutes into the video if it's the right sound for me, but got ham that was some slick playing.
15 minutes in. maybe it is the amp for me. haha.a nice AC30 sound with an ability to sound like a Fender.
@@everennui1 Idk if you've had the chance to try it yet. But I've been using the Kemper profile of it, and got to try a VC35 deluxe combo yesterday and man, it's amazing. Going to stick with the Kemper profile for now, but I'd love to own the lunchbox head version of it.
It might have been nice to hear the amp with the gain above half way!
sounds like a mesmarshoranvofendstar to me , nice, that rug is pretty loud
Sounds great but that’s a very high price point. Why not just get a AC30 for less money?
British made VOXes are much more expensive then this. You cant comare Chinese and British made products for price.
stanislavmigra even a AC30HWHD is less expensive 🤷🏻♂️
@@adamalexanderray aint it Vietnam made?
stanislavmigra does that actually matter?
@@adamalexanderray manpower much cheaper there. I dont say the amp is better or not. Im saying British made products cant compete with far east made products at price.
is that a a fumble on the back right? under the fender head
It still sounds good at lower volume, but I'd be curious to know how low that went in this video.
I don't play late at night, so I guess a "home" level volume rather than what you might call "Bedroom" volume is what I'm looking for.
Sounds great, though. I'm torn between this and the Sheriff. But then you could always get the Sheriff preamp pedal and run it 4-cable method - best of both!
What did you end up doing?
@@bradleyjpaolucci i did something else - i got hold of a BD1 (the old Rob Chapman head without his signature on it) last year, and I like it, so I'm thinking as it's only single-channel head (It's like Victory made their version of a Tiny Terror) , to get a V4 Copper preamp for those sounds, either for some cleans (the BD1 struggles a bit to get clean) or the driven sounds the Copper does well.
The BD1's effects loop has a mix control, too. From asking around, I could use that to achieve blends of the Copper and BD1, which seems like a cool idea to me!
Seems Victory has finally made an amp that is not 100 dB @ 1m with the master on 1.
Victory copper VS Morgan dual 20 ?
Sounds great, but boy it breaks up so fast. The gain was barely at 9 o'clock with that les Paul at first.
X1000000 for a video on different speakers based on victory cabs please please please
Doesn't sound anything like a Vix, but it sounds great! Kind of its own design really
Morgan dual 20 or victory copper deluxe ?
I am not a violent man but, I`d KILL to own that PRS!
There's a new country song with the line "I wish all roads were named Copper head", got that damn song in my head now! Just had a quick skip through, sounds great.
great price as well....
What speakers is the amp mic'd to? TIA
Sounds great, if only I didn’t have the deluxe already I’d be all over this
It'a shame it gets dirty so quickly. The option to switch out the Master Volume could turn it into a great pedal platform.
WOW! this is one amp!
Someone should have Brian May testing this awesome AC "much more than a" clone.
Great demo. Thanks a lot!
the real test for an AC clone is does it do brian may
Well Done Lads! Would have liked also to see LEE aka THE CAPTAIN, do a little jamming! 🎸🎸🎸
Think that LP has hot pups, my LP with Classic 57s is a good bit cleaner at the same gain settings. Not that this amp ever seems clean with humbuckers.
WHAT GUITAR IS THAT? I have never see it in that color.
Julius Caesar the Black strat is a 56 custom relic I believe is owned by Pete. If that’s the guitar you’re talking about. The gold tele is a Hansen tele. The Les Paul I think is from the shop and the PRS is a gift from PRS. I’m guessing you mean the tele. There’s a bunch of guitars there so...
How can a Vox be both mid range rich as well as chimey? I thought chimey referred to a treble rich sound?
I dont think Lee knows what the hell he is talking about, Fender has an entire line of amps that use the same exact tubes as the AC amps
D R the difference valves make to the sound of an amplifier is largely overstated in my opinion. The biggest difference between Vox and Fender probably has a lot more to do with the Vox not having any negative feedback, different speakers and simply different designs in the tone stack.
@@rileyramone6231 Do a side by side, they sound identical
Pete's hair rocks!
And the backing track ?
Why the fuck is pete so good at playing guitar ?
Where is Rob?
Notice that when Pete has a choice he never plays those really awesome "affordable" guitars. If you wonder why, then you are the person the previous 2 days videos are aimed at.
Rudiger with a lot of people, their playing is not yet to a point where that extra 5-10% from a great guitar makes a difference. Pete is past that point.
@@NathanNagel It is nice when people "get" it. Nothing wrong with inexpensive guitars. However, saying a cheap guitar is just as good as a well built expensive guitar shows a lack of knowledge and a loose grip on reality. The previous 2 days of videos and the comments posted highlight my point.
explain to me why I should care about the slightly prettier finish that costs 1k extra when a mid range guitar is already more than perfectly fine.
I'm not intending to sound confrontational, I'm genuinely curious. having played everything from squiers to high(er) end guitars I've found that my 2 favs have both been worth less than 500 pounds.
And yet they can never tell the difference when blind folded.
@@kantina4765 You will discover the difference on your own if you play long enough.
