Victory V30 The Jack MKII 6L6 Loaded Valve Head

Victory's pint-sized 'The Jack' amplifier boasts the exact same circuitry found in their V30 'The Countess' MkII head, albeit with a new name that more accurately reflects its versatility! Befitting of its ability to cater for most musical styles, this "jack of all trades" amp is the perfect partner for the working musician looking for a tone machine that can cover plenty of sonic territory.

Developed with Guthrie Govan

The Victory 'The Countess' was originally developed with British virtuoso Guthrie Govan as his "flying amp" to tour around the world with. When arguably one of the world's most praised guitarists uses your amplifier - it must be good!

The original V30 has very distinct clean and overdrive channels. There is massive headroom and clarity in the former, with a ton of heavy rocking overdrive in the latter. With V30MKII, we’ve added an extra footswitchable crunch mode to the clean channel – developed for V130 The Super Countess – that offers a whole new palette of pushed clean, crunch and light overdrive tones to the party. Along with the new 'Nomod' function, the V30 is now the ultimate ultra-compact all-rounder.

Two Channels, Three Modes
​

Footswitchable Clean and Overdrive channels offer chiming, high-headroom cleans through to huge, modern-rock-ready gain. For in-between, low- and mid-gained tones, V30MKII also has a footswitchable Crunch mode in the Clean channel (see right).

External Bias Adjustment
​

No need to fiddle inside the amp when you change output valves. There is also a bias range switch on the chassis to suit either EL34 or 6L6 power valves, so when you've set that correctly, you then use this for the fine-tuning adjustment.

Nomod Function

Our new footswitchable low-end response function is a result of some users wanting a tighter feel for the V30, especially with heavier overdrive sounds. However, our dear friend Guthrie Govan likes it exactly as it was, so we are offering you both options.

All New Crunch Mode
​

This footswitchable addition to the Clean channel brings an extra gain stage to take you into pushed and light overdrive sounds. It’s great for anything and everything where a little bit of drive is needed from blues to country to classic rock and more.

High & Low Power Modes
​

People are often astounded at the punchy, high-headroom clarity of the V30's 42 watts. It's loud enough for almost any stage, but if you want to explore lower volume and a different set of dynamics, you can switch to the low-power 7-watt mode.
