Victory Amplification V4 The Duchess Hybrid Guitar Amp

Ultra-compact Amplifier Made for Feel Players

The Victory Amps V4 the Duchess packs a walloping 180 watts of power into a pedalboard-friendly amplifier fit for the studio and the stage. This hybrid amp pairs a tube preamp section with a solid-state power amp, giving you the ideal balance of tube character, loads of headroom, and portability. Made for feel players, the V4’s voice hearkens back to vintage Californian tube amps. It includes a lush digital reverb, a built-in tremolo with a footswitch, and a series effects loop that sits between the preamp and power amp. Guitarists at Sweetwater opt for inserting their time-based pedals in the loop when they want to maintain the clarity of the effects. A simple but effective 3-band EQ gives you plenty of power over shaping your tone and affects the gain structure and drive levels, just like a traditional tube amp. The V4 pairs well with a range of cabinets, churning out the full 180 watts of power with a 4-ohm speaker, 90 watts with an 8-ohm speaker, and 45 watts with a 16-ohm speaker. Plus, it includes a balanced line output for driving your favorite cabinet impulse responses — an awesome option for home use and quiet stages. Small, simple to use, and crushingly loud, the V4 The Duchess is a mighty amp in an ultra-compact package!

Powerful tone shaping

Tone chasers will love the sound-shaping flexibility of the V4 The Duchess. With its master volume configuration, you can drive the preamp into pleasing saturation and trim the output level to sit perfectly in a mix. The 3-band EQ opens a range of tonal possibilities and allows you to dial in an ideal sound for any situation. From single-coil-loaded vintage-style six-strings to modern active axes, the V4 impresses with its ability to bring out the best aspects of your favorite guitar!
