Due to the nature of valve amplifiers, this item is **collection only**


This listing is for my VX The Kraken and Victory 1x12 cab as pictured.  If you are reading this then you probably already know what this is.


Rather than just copy and paste blurb from the website I'll tell you more about what I think about this amp.


Here's a link to the blurb if you want it: https://www.victoryamps.com/product/vx-the-kraken/


I've had this app for just over a year,  I bought it because I was in the market for a 5150 and the Gain 2 channel on this app is based on a 5150.  But it also has the added bonus of having the Gain 1 channel which is based on a Marshall circuit (JCM900), that swung me to this amp rather than a Peavy.


I bought it for Gain 2, and kept it for Gain 1! That Marshall circuit is absolutely gorgeous! You can run it anywhere from clean all the way up to absolutely filthy.  It sounds way better than any Marshall I have ever played. It actually got me interested in buying a real JCM900.  But then of course both of these circuits are slightly tweaked and improved by the superior ears of Rabea Massaad.


Rated at 50 Watts you can actually power this down all the way to about 2 watts. Let me tell you 50 watts is LOUD!  Suffice to say you can run this in your backline or in your bedroom.


Running in low power "single-ended" mode can cause uneven valve wear, so you should know I have run this at full power into a load box to ensure even wear of the EL34 tubes.


The amp is in full-working order, comes with gig bag as well as two optional foot switches which many amps on eBay seem to be missing.


The cabinet is a genuine Victory cab, loaded with Celestion v30.   The v30 is the speaker this amp was specifically designed to work with.   The cab comes also with the official Victory dust cover, another option you tend to not to see in other eBay listings.


I did run this also with a Victory Jack preamp (Victory Jack and kitten are not included) to turn this into a 4 channel setup with a dedicated clean channel.  I will put the Jack up for auction once this is sold.  Buyer of this gets first refusal.


So why am I selling? I just ordered a Mesa Mark. If I had room for 2 amps I'd keep it.


Once again, collection only, viewing by appointment welcomed. 


This is a private sale, I do not offer any refunds so the winner of the auction is invited to bring along a guitar and test the amp before taking away.
