Frequently Asked Questions
Voice I is brighter and more articulate, while Voice II offers a warmer, more rounded character, subtly shifting the mid-range response.
It shares a similar vibe – a pulsating, vintage-style tremolo – but Victory’s implementation has a slightly more aggressive and controllable character.
The 7W mode retains the amp’s core character but offers significantly reduced volume, perfect for recording or practicing without needing massive speaker attenuation.
