Proudly taking place as the flagship model in Victory’s range of compact and lunchbox amps, the MKX takes the core essence of Victory’s top-of-the-line, MK Overdrive and offers it in a more compact format, at a price point that won’t bust the bank.
Drawing on Martin Kidd’s 30-plus years of experience as an amp designer, the MKX captures a flavour of many of his most beloved guitar tones, ranging from crystal cleans, raging overdrive, all the way to fully saturated high-gain modern distortion. Featuring 3 channels (Clean, Overdrive 1 and Overdrive 2) in addition to two unique reverb voices, as well as independent 3-band EQs for Clean and Overdrive channels on top of 2 footswitchable Master Volumes, the MKX is quite possibly Martin and Victory’s most versatile amp to date. Its tiny, fully-metal lunchbox-style enclosure is truly the icing on the cake, making the MKX one of the easiest amps to carry around, whether you’re on the road, on a plane, or simply travelling to rehearsals. With 50 watts of power (switchable down to 9 watts), an effects loop as well as Power Amp Resonance and Presence controls, the Victory MKX has every base covered for just about every type of electric guitar player and is the perfect amp for those after a British-made workhorse valve head that does it all.
