Unleash the beast with the Victory Amps VX The Kraken MKII Lunch Box 2-Channel 50-Watt Guitar Amp Head, a compact powerhouse designed for the modern guitarist seeking versatility and power in one package. Crafted in collaboration with Rabea Massaad, this amp head brings together the best of British and American amp traditions. The VX The Kraken MKII is not just about raw power; it's about delivering rich, dynamic tones across three distinct channels: Clean, Gain I, and Gain II.

The Clean channel offers pristine, sparkling tones that are a perfect counterbalance to the aggressive nature of the Gain channels. Gain I captures the essence of classic British amps, delivering warm, midrange-rich sounds ideal for classic rock and metal. Gain II, on the other hand, is a nod to American amp designs, providing tight, heavy tones perfect for modern metal riffs.

The VX The Kraken MKII also features a comprehensive EQ section, including a 3-band EQ, Presence, and Bass Focus switches to refine your sound. Its series effects loop allows seamless integration with your pedalboard, while the footswitch functionality provides easy channel and volume control. With external bias test points, tube maintenance is a breeze.

Designed and handmade in the UK, this amp head is not only a sonic monster but also a reliable companion for practice and performance, thanks to its 9W low-power mode.
