Bring Out the Hard-rock Big Guns!
Victory Amplification’s V1 series of pedals packs the power of their full-size tube amps into a pedalboard-friendly package! While V1 The Sheriff may not have any tubes, legendary British stompbox guru Adrian Thorpe was tapped to fine-tune the entire V1 series to perfectly capture the voice, feel, and vibe of their valve-powered siblings. Their research has certainly paid off — V1 The Sheriff offers an arresting combo of vintage-style low-gain tones on milder settings, but if you’re looking to turn up the heat, cranking the gain knob turns The Sheriff into an ’80s hard-rock machine! Bass, treble, and middle controls allow you to shape your sound for almost any 6-string application. If your pedalboard real estate is at a premium, the V1 series’ combination of tube-flavored tone and stompbox simplicity is a winning formula for sonic victory!

Vintage bite and ’80s crunch
The V1 Sheriff is a surprisingly versatile little box, sporting a vintage-style, low-gain bark that perfectly complements this pedal’s more intense settings. And believe us when we say that it does get intense — cranking the gain knob brings out the ’80s bombast! From pinch-harmonic dive-bombs to lightning-fast tapping sequences, Sweetwater recommends the V1 Sheriff for all of your ’80s hard-rock and metal heroics.
Big sound, tiny box
Victory Amplification’s V4 series of preamp-in-a-box pedals took the world by storm when they were first announced, providing guitarists with true tube amplification tone in an exceptionally portable form factor. However, what if they were more portable? That’s the mission of the V1 series, a range of stompboxes that squeezes the respective sonic might of the Copper, Duchess, Jack, Kraken, and Sheriff into a pedalboard-friendly size! While the V1 series ditches the tubes, they were designed in collaboration with legendary pedal maker Adrian Thorpe to precisely capture the voice of their valve counterparts. Handbuilt in the U.K., Victory Amplification’s V1 pedals can easily be tossed onto even the smallest of boards for massive tones in a standard stompbox form factor!
