110 Watts of Hybrid American and British Tone with an Incredible Feel

Made for "feel" players, the Victory Amplifiers V140 Deluxe The Duchess is a 100-watt tube amp with a split personality. On one hand, it admirably channels the laid-back spirit and sound of classic American combo amps; yet it is also capable of producing the aggressive crunch of vintage British tube heads — all from a single channel! How is this possible? With the V140 Deluxe’s unique voice switch. On top of that, you get full command over shaping the sound of the amp, with three tone controls and a Mid Kick feature. There’s also a hard-bypassable effects loop on tap for integrating your favorite time-based and modulation effects. Throw in tube-driven spring reverb and tremolo, and you have an amp bursting with vintage character and modern features.

Voice switch for transatlantic tones

While the V140 Deluxe is a single-channel amp, it makes the most out of that channel with the inclusion of a unique voice switch. Switched to Voice I, the V140 Deluxe is distinctly American, with a relatively flat frequency response. Switching to Voice II transports you across the Atlantic for the biting midrange that’s the hallmark of traditional British amp tones. And the tone shaping doesn’t stop there! The V140 Deluxe offers Bass, Middle, and Treble controls, and a Mid Kick that works in conjunction with the Middle control to aggressively push the midrange, which is extremely helpful when you want overdriven tones to leap to the fore of a mix.

Tube-driven spring reverb and tremolo

Like many classic American tube amps, the V140 Deluxe comes equipped with tube-driven tremolo and spring reverb. The long-tank spring reverb is rich and deep with a fabulous drip that complements everything from surf and classic country to post-rock and psychedelic. Plus, it includes a dedicated tone control, giving you access to dark and lavish ambiance, bright and springy 'verb, and all points between! Kicking the V140 Deluxe’s vintage vibe up a notch, the valve-driven tremolo serves up dreamy amplitude modulation, with speed and depth controls for fine-tuning the character of the effect.

High-quality series effects loop

If you use time-based effects, you'll value the V140 Deluxe's high-quality series effects loop — a feature that many vintage-style amps lack. Pro tip: the V140 Deluxe's post-phase-inverter master volume design requires different gain staging than most modern amplifiers. Hence, the guitarists here at Sweetwater have found that it's easy to overload your effects. The solution? Lower your mix and output levels. This will ensure squeaky-clean modulation, delay repeats, and reverb tails. That said, the loop stays completely out of the circuit when bypassed, ensuring ultra-pure tone if you're not using it. So, if you're a plug-straight-into-the-amp player, you won't be plagued by any unwanted tone suckage.
