Victory Amplification’s The Deputy tube amplifier head lays down the law with a decidedly vintage flavor, boasting but a single channel to tackle everything from expressive, bluesy cleans to all-out classic rock crunch. Equipped with an EL86-fueled power section and a preamp section comprised of 12AX7/ECC83s, The Deputy was designed by Victory Amplification with a singular aim — deliver everything from’ 60s-style British cleans to searing’ 70s-inspired gain tones on a single channel with the simple sweep of a Gain knob. A 3-position voicing switch aids The Deputy in its noble goal, along with a 3-band EQ, Bright switch, and Master Volume control. You also get a spacious digital reverb and a fully bypassable effects loop. Compact enough for gigging and complete enough to cover all your tonal bases, The Deputy is a superb addition to the Victory Amplification family that’s squarely aimed at amplifier aficionados with a penchant for the old school.
