The Deputy Compact Head
Clean through to Classic rock sounds with this compact versatile all-valve Victory head.
Description
Introducing The Deputy, a 25 Watt amplifier born from collaboration with Peter Honore. Simple, versatile, and robust, this all-valve amp embodies 'plug and play' convenience. Boasting a single channel, master volume design, along with a Bright switch, a three-position voice switch, and onboard reverb, it's a versatile companion.
Whether you're chasing the soulful cleans of the 60s or cranking it up for classic rock, The Deputy has your back. Its compact size makes it the ideal on-the-go gigging amplifier, equally comfortable in the studio setting.
Features
Single Channel Design
The Deputy’s single channel effortlessly spans from 60’s British Clean to 70’s Classic Rock with a single gain control. This amp is straightforward and perfect for seamlessly transitioning your guitar’s volume from clean to crunch to lead gain. With 25 Watts of power, you’ll enjoy ample clean headroom.
Three Position Voice Switch
The Deputy features a three-position Voice switch designed to provide maximum versatility by adding a bit of extra gain.
- Position 1 (top), you get the lowest gain setting.
- Position 2 (middle), you enjoy a maximum of +6dB gain, influenced by the gain settings on the amp.
- Position 3 adds upper mid frequencies and a treble boost to Voice 2.
Bright Switch
The bright control is a simple switch to add some top end, allowing you to shape the sound of whatever you use before the amp exactly the way you want it.
Series Effects Loop
A series effects loop is available for effects fans. It’s completely out of the circuit when bypassed.
Simple Powerful EQ
Plenty of tone-sculpting potential, plus a presence control that works in the power section to set the overall bite just how you like it.
External Bias Points
No need to fiddle about inside when you change output valves. The Deputy will be fitted with EL86s as standard but can be biased to use EL84’s too.
Digital Reverb
The Deputy features a foot switchable on board reverb, it sits somewhere between a plate and hall-type sound. It’s ‘smoother’ and more ‘modern’ sounding than a traditional spring reverb.
Deluxe features, small size.
The Deluxe wooden sleeve has all the features and sounds from the Victory’s famous lunch box amps but we have added a wooden sleeve with leather corners, a leather handle and a deluxe Victory logo, adding an extra layer of British hand made quality to the family.
