Critic Reviews

Victory V1 the Duchess and the Jack Overdrive Reviews | GuitarPlayer

guitarplayer.com

Victory’s V1 The Jack pedal delivers a distinctive British-stack tone with solid medium-gain crunch, making it a versatile addition for players seeking sonic depth. While it may lean towards a boxy character with less neutrality than its counterpart, The Duchess, it shines with harmonic saturation and excellent lead qualities. The Duchess, on the other hand, stands out as a balanced low-gain overdrive, offering articulate tones and an impressive range without compromising clarity. Both pedals boast rugged construction and intuitive controls, but the Jack's complexity may not suit every player's taste. Overall, they are well-crafted pedals that should appeal widely, especially with the Duchess named a potential Tube Screamer killer.

Victory V1 Series Pedals review | Guitar World

guitarworld.com

Victory Amplification's V1 The Jack Pedal showcases impressive versatility, capturing a range of tones from medium gain crunch to soaring sustain with ease. Its robust build quality and aesthetic appeal make it a standout on any pedalboard. However, at $229, it may not be the most cost-effective option for casual players. While the tone controls are powerful, some users might find them complex to dial in for specific sounds. Overall, this pedal shines for those seeking rich, expressive tones in a compact format but may deter budget-conscious musicians.

A very unique amp in a box!

This is the pedal version of an amp designed for Guthrie Govan. It was developed in collaboration with Adrian Thorpe, of Thorpy FX, a made in the UK boutique pedal brand. Personally, I knew neither the brand nor the artist for whom it was designed. And that's okay because what matters is just the sound that comes out of this little box and it's absolutely killer. Owner of a Wampler Plexi Drive, I wanted to add an additional amp-in-a-box but one that was more saturated. The Jack V1 does this but not only. In fact, it's the most versatile overdrive/distortion pedal I've ever tried and yet it has a very particular sound, which the EQ knobs and the gain range will allow you to sculpt very finely. On the EQ side, don't hesitate to push the highs because they are quite discreet. On the other hand, the bass can go very, very far and the same goes for the mids. My "sweet spot", for now, is bass at a third, mids barely above half and treble at two thirds. With that, I have the impression that the notes come out very precisely, especially the single notes which go into singing leads. From a gain point of view, it will go from a barely dirty and very mellow clean sound to super silky sounds with infinite sustain. The grain of this pedal is indeed really special. It's fatty and absolutely incomparably soft. For rhythm, it delivers something fat, chunky, seemingly not ideal for palm mutes but in fact the EQ can fix that! I would describe the sound as retro-modern: it can be vintage, a little bluesy at low gain but in reality, although it does not venture into heavy saturated extreme metal, the sound that comes out has something very contemporary to it. For me, it's great for progressive, alternative metal but also post-rock and not too extreme post-metal. I really tried it out haphazardly. I had seen a quick demo but I thought I would opt for either the Sheriff (Marshall) or the Kraken (Mesa-Boogie). I don't know which amp the Jack emulates exactly (I mean, apart from the brand's amp of the same name, obviously!). Some speak of a Soldano, others of a Dumble... I can't characterize it but it's a sound that immediately grabbed my guts. The Kraken was great too, but I absolutely needed this one instead. I feel like I have both a Swiss army knife and a sound that really stands out from the ordinary. I add that the pedal is also quite silent, that it reacts to the volume knob and that therefore you can set it with the gain quite far and make all the possible sounds at the tip of your finger. It will obviously join my pedalboard but it could also be perfect for a light board, with just a delay, and I could play almost everything with that. Highly recommended!
