In its short history, Victory has become one of the UK's leading amplifier brands. Known for its portable lunchbox-style amp heads, the forward-thinking company has made its first step into the pedal world with its V4 series of preamp pedals.
The V4 Design
Taking the sounds of its most popular amp head designs, these fully-analogue, valve-driven V4 stompboxes from Victory can convincingly emulate their full-fledged counterparts. Powered by three CV4014 valves and a single EC900, that genuine tube amp feel and sound is captured.
Boasting two channels and multiple controls for flexible tone-shaping, a Victory V4 preamp pedal can become the centrepiece of your guitar rig. Enclosed within compact steel chassis', you can easily mount these potent-sounding powerhouses to your pedalboard so that your core sounds are literally at your feet!
A Jack Of All Trades!
Victory's 'The Jack' preamp pedal is just one of the several V4 models available, but it is arguably the most versatile. Formerly known as 'The Countess', this unit's new name more suitably signifies its tonal flexibility. With clean and overdrive modes, this stompbox faithfully imitates the tones of Victory's flagship amplifier (which has also been re-named) – stretching from chimey cleans to high-gain British-voiced distortion.
With a wide frequency response, the V4 'The Jack' pedal has an open and dynamic feel, allowing your playing articulation to shine though beautifully. With the original Countess amp developed alongside guitar virtuoso Guthrie Govan, the V4 'The Jack' preamp can cope with even the most eclectic of playing and musical styles – making it an all-encompassing unit.
Flexible Controls
Much like the amp version of 'The Jack', the V4 preamp pedal features a similar control-set for excellent usability. With a typical 3-band EQ section, the V4 'The Jack' also boasts a bright switch that allows you to tailor the top-end frequencies. This means that if you're using the pedal in conjunction with a dark-sounding amplifier, you can compensate via this thoughtful appointment.
With the ability to switch between two channels via a dedicated footswitch, you can set the amount of gain for each of these modes with the Vol 1 and 2 knobs. Giving you two separate voices, this means that you can essentially create a 3-channel setup when running the V4 into a clean amplifier – with clean, rhythm and lead sounds. You can also control the volumes of these modes via the Master 1 and 2 controls, meaning that you can set one of them louder than the other for a solo boost.
