P a g e MIDDLE Controls the midrange frequencies in your sound. Run the middle control higher to help cut through a band mix, or generally fatten and ‘widen’ your sound. Run it lower for a lighter, less ‘in-your-face’ kind of sound. TREBLE Controls the high frequency content of your sound and is also a powerful tone shaper when it comes to overdrive character. -

P a g e current momentarily and can blow the HT fuse. It will rarely cause any damage so just replacing the fuse is sufficient to get the amp running normally again. However, if the HT fuse blows repeatedly, (more than 3 times for example), it may indicate a serious valve failure where internal parts of a valve are shorted and in this case the amplifier needs to be checked by a qualified engineer to assess the problem. -

P a g e In certain countries it is also totally forbidden to keep or place any liquids on top of the amplifier, (e.g. beer, water bottles, glass, drinks etc). This may cause serious electric shocks and/or dangerous situations. Also it is totally forbidden to use the amp in the event of rain splatters/water drops getting into or onto the amp. - Page 8 Posidrive uses an 8-Blade screwdriver which allows for more precision and higher torque. Please try to use Posidrive Screwdrivers when working on a Victory amplifier to avoid damaging any fixings. These are readily available from all good tool suppliers. We recommend having a No.1 and a No.2 point Posidrive screwdriver.
- Page 9 Switch) Notes on output volume and speaker attenuation: Victory amplifiers are designed to be played loud with gigging and rehearsal in mind. It can be difficult to get suitable volumes and tones from the V130 at home or ‘bedroom’ levels even in the lower power settings. The nature of valve amps and the POTs used to control the signal is such that they really start to work when turned up.
- Page 10 P a g e 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. The warranty is transferable to a new owner in the unusual event that you wish to sell your amplifier.
- Page 11 11 | P a g e Please ensure that the valves go back into the same sockets as they are optimized at the factory for best position relating to gain, noise, & microphony. This is easily achieved if you just do one at a time; take it out, re-tension then re-insert and go to the next one. You will see that the valve bases have small 2-part metal clips in each hole and these need to be pushed together to make a tight connection on the valve pins.
