P a g e Thank you, and congratulations on acquiring a Victory Amplification VX100. This amp is proudly designed and built by our committed team of engineers and craftsmen in the UK. We value simplicity in operation, flexibility in use and absolutely no compromise in tone. Our aim is simple: to create amplifiers that inspire you ever onwards in your playing and never let you down. - Page 3 This switch is to manually switch the Effects Loop ON/OFF. To control this via MIDI, the switch needs to be in the centre or ‘Null’ position. This function is also footswitchable using an optional 2-way latching footswitch. These are available from the Victory Store. In the ON position, this switch will override the latching footswitch or MIDI Footcontroller.

Page 5: Bias Adjust
(i.e. if it’s a 3.15A fuse in the UK @ 230V, it will need to be a 6.3A fuse for the USA @ 115V). Always use the correct rating and type of fuse. Victory amplifiers exclusively use UL-approved 20x5mm glass ‘T’ or ‘Timed’ fuses. If you have difficulty acquiring the correct fuses, please contact Victory using service@victoryamps.co.uk. - Page 6 To set the Bias on the VX100 you need a multimeter set to the 200mV DC range. Biasing is carried out externally so no need to remove the amp from the wooden sleeve. Output valves can be replaced from the rear of the amp by simply removing the back grill and carefully pushing down on the sides of the retaining butterfly clips.
- Page 7 P a g e The output transformer in the VX100 has 3 separate secondary windings; a 16 Ohm, an 8 Ohm and a 4 Ohm. This makes it easy to connect many different combinations of speakers. There are five speaker output jacks: 1 x 16 ohms, 2 x 8 ohms, (wired in parallel), 2 x 4 ohms, (wired in parallel).

Page 9: Effects Loop
The VX100 has an effects loop, which is a simple, low impedance, series loop. The SEND socket is for connection to the input of effects units. On the VX100 it is a lower impedance version of the signal that appears at the INPUT. Use the SEND to connect to floor pedals or rack effects such as Delay, Chorus and Reverb etc. - Page 10 Warranty: All Victory products come with a 5 year limited warranty. This covers any defects in manufacturing or faulty components. Valves and speakers are warrantied for 90 days from the purchase date but replacement parts will be at our discretion. Please contact your local dealer if you have any issues with your Victory product.
- Page 11 Please make sure you don’t close these pins up fully or it will be difficult to replace the Valves. Replacement valves and tools for biasing such as a Multimeter and Terminal Screwdrivers are available directly from Victory. Please email your requirements to service@victoryamps.co.uk...
