Oh man, I’ve got the Copper and it’s the greatest thing ever. I’ve never heard another Vox in a box pedal that is as convincing, and I collect them. I’m definitely getting the Duchess next.
Lee did a tremendous job here demonstrating. You could see him getting more and more nervous as the kraken rolled around. Which is perfectly reasonable. But yeah, he did a great job taking us through these pedals with his playing. Obviously the high gain stuff is not for him, nor is it for most of us I dare say. Lol great video. I’ve had a few Thorpy pedals on my wantlist for quite some time. Just can’t afford them
Thorpe is such a nice bloke, I once rang him regarding some advice on the Morningstar midi controller. He really went out his way and and took the time going through the various modes and explaining it to me.
I don't mean to discredit these pedals or anything, but VOX actually has some interesting pedals that are similar, in that they're supposed to be like the sounds of well-known amplifiers, but in addition they also carry a "nutube", which is like a mini-tube that essentially does the same in terms of the interaction. - They have 4 of them, of which the Silk Drive is basically like The Duchess, the Mystic Edge is like The Copper (so the Vox-type), but then the Copperhead would be like The Sheriff , and the Cutting Edge would be more like The Kraken or perhaps covering what The Jack would do as well. - Just saying, if anyone finds this, if you want something similar, but good quality and at about 50 (or in Anderton's case 80) quid less. - There's also a video by Andertons on it, from two years before this one.
A really good manager knows when, how and who to call in when something needs doing. Victory and Thorpy working together makes perfect sense in a business and tech standpoint.
Thinking about these pedals as a range, if you had a few of them hooked up to a device that does emulation of various speaker types, that would make for a very handy board for feeding to a PA.
Great video. There are demo's all over the Tube, but only you guys have the Story of the pedals with the makers. How and why something is done is always more interesting to me than just that something has been done.
Maybe there could be a V2 version of the Kraken, the sheriff that have two button switches instead of the one i.e. the Kraken with two switches so you could get essentially both channels like you do in the amp
In the US the phrase "We met in 'nam" means something very different. Great pedals but the guy on the right from Victory- listening to him speak is like taking a sleeping pill man- he has that sort of slow, whisper, Sunday morning talk show on public radio voice.
This is really interesting to read about. I bought all 5 and they're all great pedals. The Duchess, Copper and Kraken are just fantastic. They're now the main focus of my rig. Not being an AC30 guy, the Copper was for sure the surprise standout. Well done to Martin and Adrian. Sterling work. The Sheriff and Jack I sent back because they're more mid-focused than I like but that's just preference.
So nice to hear Lee's touch sensitivity compared to Rob Chapman's brutish assault on the strings. Rob could make the best clean tones / low gain tones sound like absolute rubbish. No disrespect towards him, but damn he was hard to listen to. Now throw in some high gain and he's a beast!
While we’ve got you Victory guys, Please stop calling both the preamp pedal and the amp in a box a V4! Please call one a V3 or the other a V5 or a V4.5 or whatever, it’s an SEO nightmare, thanks!
If you like the sound of these pedals you can watch Pete & Rabea playing them here - ruclips.net/video/ORG_XOMHod0/видео.html
Listening to Martin talk makes me feel like I am watching a nature documentary.
What a job adrian did with this line, his emphasis on eq and voicing really is top notch 👏

Waiting for mine in the mail now... ⏰
I like the Sheriff the best. That is a great medium gain pedal right there.

I want to hear Pete and Rabea now. These sound so good even with Lee's limited demonstration.
That video was when the pedals launched! Flick back a few weeks on RUclips!!
That was a joy to watch. Absolute masters of their respective trades.
2 legends collaborate equals win. great work, great guys.

This was a fun video, watching two guys at the top of their field talk about pedals. Thanks.
lovely to see some very genuine smiles when talking about the enjoyment of them working together.
Captain has his Strat out! Can I get a Hallelujah!
That KRAKEN is pure gold
Thorpy is an incredible builder!! My red mist mk 4 is incredible!!
great video! love this.... and the sonic qualities of those pedals come across well in this

I’ve got the sheriff v1, sounds amazing turned up in a band mix

By 'eck, they're epic. Love the Copper in particular. Off to watch Pete & Rabea now.
Oh and the v1 works really well, I’m using mine at the front end of a tone-king Imperial to give me some shred choices.
Duchess in to a Duchess ! Good one
Maybe there could be a V2 version of the Kraken, the sheriff that have two button switches instead of the one i.e. the Kraken with two switches so you could get essentially both channels like you do in the amp
What a Great Format and content
Good job guys!
Funny how people become inseparable from their nicknames. Anyway, another great video - and really interesting input from Adrian and Victor.
So putting a duchess pedal into a Duchess amp sounds like your going into a Duchess. Who do I write the cheque to?😅
have you ever thought about reviewing Haar strats/teles? i think yall should give them a shot
Shoowee, they sound great!!
damn i dont even like high gain but that kraken sounds juicyyyy

How do you think the Copper stacks up against the UA Ruby?
@@stoneysdead689 I haven't tried those UA pedals but I would for sure like to try and compare.
i am terrified of thorpy i see why you guys love his pedals
He certainly looks like any second he's going to rip that guitar out of Lee's hands and beat him to death with it.
Tone Gandalf and Tone Juggernaut 👍

Tell me a time Victory Amplification has ever missed...
Has my pedal already been shipped?
While we’ve got you Victory guys,
Please stop calling both the preamp pedal and the amp in a box a V4! Please call one a V3 or the other a V5 or a V4.5 or whatever, it’s an SEO nightmare, thanks!
What's an "SEO"?
@@stoneysdead689 Search engine optimisation
awesome - 1st !!!
Please let Martin and Adrian speak next time.
