Victory Amplification launches V45 The Count combo, December 2014

Victory Amplification from the UK proudly announces our new V45 The Count combo, based on our award-winning V30 The Countess head (Guitarist magazine ‘Guitarist Choice’ award and ‘Gear Of The Year 2014’ winner). Ever since we launched the V30, customers have been asking us for a combo version with reverb… et voilà!

Housed in a compact 1x12, high quality pine and ply enclosure, V45 The Count delivers a huge range of clean, crunch and lead tones. The original amplifier (the V30) is a two-channel, all-valve package, developed with the help of Guthrie Govan as his ‘flying amp’. Here the power section can also be configured four ways to offer differing output levels, in this case from 0.5 to 40 watts, giving you the ultimate package of portability and flexibility. This is achieved firstly with a high- and low-power switch on the front panel offering up to 40 and 7 watts respectively. In addition, there’s a ‘single-ended mode’ switch on the rear panel that drops the power to 1.5 and 0.5 watts, in high- and low-output modes respectively.

For this combo version we’ve added a digital reverb section that’s footswitchable and a Celestion V30 12-inch speaker. Victory V45 The Count is the little combo with a huge voice to cover all your playing needs.

The obvious question…What are the main differences between V45 The Count and V40 The Viscount amplifiers, and who are they for?• Visually, V45 The Count has a black Victory badge and control panel; V40 The Viscount has a cream badge and panel.• V45 The Count is a two-channel amp; V40 The Viscount is single channel.• V45 The Count uses a Celestion Vintage 30 speaker; V40 The Viscount uses a G12M-65 Creamback.• V45 The Count has a wide range of contemporary clean and heavy overdrive sounds, aimed at more ‘rock’ minded players.• V40 The Viscount is all about vintage-voiced clean break-up to light overdrive, aimed at more ‘blues/roots’ minded players.• The amps sound very different, but there’s also a huge difference in how they feel to play. Try both to see which suits you best!
