I wasn't really in the market for a new amp. My trusty (then 19 year old) Mesa Boogie MKIIB fit the bill quite well. One day I was testing out a new guitars...
thesjkexperience, nice story. I know exactly what you mean about that feeling. The last good amp I had before my Vic was my Fuchs and the clean tones just...
Not sure myself, but one thing I don't understand is why they're put on the tube chart instead of stamped into the chasis. Mark's at the NAMM show this weekend...
518 - 00173X 20112 - 00143X Victorilux - 313X I think the 518 is a late 2002 or early 2003. It will be interesting to see if each model is sequentially...
My Victorilux starts with 389XX. I spoke to someone at Victoria that was kind of holding down the fort. the others were all on their way back from the NAMM...
I've played most Victoria's, except for double deluxe, trem de la trem and 20112, I love the Regal II most of all. Could just imagine the 2-12 Celestion Blue...
I've played the trem de la trem and actually almost bought it but I was looking for reverb and a bit more power. The trem is really deep and swampy on that amp...
Funny thing was I was saving up for a Regal II, but then went in to check out a wah pedal and fell in love with the Victorilux. I find I am liking it a lot,...
I think Mark had said the Weber 15" speaker is a little brighter, with earlier breakup than the Eminence. I also believe the trem in the Regal is the same as...
no complaints here about the Vlux, just wanted a little grit, Vlux is great for loud stuff where I turned it up to 7-8. Theres no bad Victorias. With the Regal...
I'm really getting an itch for a Regal II. I'd never give up my 1x15 Victorilux but being able to swap tubes like that is a nice plus. Just have to see if I...
THe boomy-ness of the 3x10 Victorilux is easily fixed by taking out that GT 12ax7C and replacing it with a new Tung-Sol 12ax7. Those Chinese tubes have tons...
I replaced the first preamp tube with a new tung sol 12ax7 and it made quite a difference. I left the others except for a Jan Philips 12AT7 in the reverb spot,...
I liked old GE 6L6's in my Victorilux, but they aren't cheap. They are different than the new GT GE's, nice and clear. I do like the new Tung Sol tubes alot...
I think as far as new production tubes, you've got the best ones in there. The biggest tonal difference occurs in V1 (end tube-opposite power tubes), so if you...
Yea, I notice when I use the amp on stage I have to change the mid setting. Also, since I swapped the 15" Legend for an old 15" JBL 2135 I turn the mids down...
I've got some old RCA blackplate 12ax7's but thought they'd be too microphonic at higher volumes so I haven't tried them yet. The tung sol 12ax7's cost me 18 a...
you could try your RCA blackplates, just to see how you like them, if you do, get a good one. I like an old 50's Tung Sol 12AX7 best for me, nice and crisp and...
I'll leave the tung sol in v1 and try a blackplate in the other positions. The only way I can find old tubes around here is on ebay, but I'll see what I can...
V1 makes the most impact tonally, the other positions dont make all that much difference ... From: slidewinder20032000 To: victoria-amps@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
My first post here. It took a while to figure out how to sign up and post. Yep, I know what your thinking, but I'm a 60 year old player that has a love/hate...
You know, when my buddy put tung sols into v1, v2, and v3, I didn't think it made that much difference. Like you, I thought v1 was really the spot where you...
Hey Denny. Welcome to the forum. First off let me say that if you want crunch through a victorilux, regardless of the speaker compliment, you're going to need...
Well, that was quick. I had emailed Victoria amps with a few questions. Next thing I know, I get a call from Mark. Great guy and extremely knowledgeable. He...
That's great to hear Denny. Mark's a good guy and has worked hard to bring his line of amps along. The Vlux you mentioned is the same one I have and it's a...
... Slidewinder, how, or in what way, is the sound/tone different with the tubes your using over the stock tubes? I know tone can be hard to describe, but give...
My amp was built in 2007 so it wouldn't be one of the fixed bias ones. I believe unless you request it all the amps are self biasing for output tubes. I know...
do you want reverb and tremolo? For home use the Regal II is great, because you can change the breakup leval to your taste with tube swapping. Its heavier than...
