Victoria Amplifier Company is a boutique guitar amplifier manufacturer based in Naperville, Illinois, founded in 1994 by Mark Baier. A former stockbroker and gigging blues musician on the Chicago scene, Baier taught himself electronics from pre-1960 military training manuals and set out to faithfully recreate the tone and construction of 1950s Fender tweed amplifiers. The company is named after Baier's daughter. Every Victoria amp is hand-wired using point-to-point construction, with components sourced from American suppliers — including custom Allen-Bradley carbon resistors and cotton tweed cloth from the same factory that supplied the originals.
Victoria's lineup spans two main categories: the Vintage Tweed series, which includes models like the 518, 5112, 20112, and Double Deluxe, and a range of original designs such as the Golden Melody, Electro King, Silver Sonic, Victorilux, and Regal. The company also produces the Reverberato, a standalone reverb and vibrato effects unit. With a small team producing roughly 350–400 amplifiers per year on a made-to-order basis, Victoria occupies a niche among players seeking authentic vintage-voiced tube tone with modern reliability.
Victoria amps have found their way onto stages and into studios used by Bob Dylan, Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, John Mayer, Joe Bonamassa, Billy Gibbons, and Buddy Guy, among others.
Victoria has 21 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Combo Guitar Amplifiers and Reverb Effects Pedals. Their gear is featured by 23 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Blues, and Funk / Soul. Notable users include Dan Auerbach, Nick Granville, and Billie Joe Armstrong.
