100 Watts of British All-tube Amplification Power
Victory Amplification’s VS100 Super Sheriff head delivers the same searing British-style tone as its renowned Sheriff predecessors, only with a massive increase in the wattage department! This amp boasts a whopping 100 watts of all-tube tone, with a dual-channel design and sweeping sonic versatility. First up is the Vintage channel, which, as you might expect, provides vintage-style British grit and chime, packed with plenty of gain on tap. However, suppose the Vintage channel isn’t mean enough for you. In that case, the secondary Hot Rod channel supercharges the VS100 into a scorching ‘80s-inspired high-gain machine perfect for screaming lead tones. Beyond that, a low-power 35-watt mode is available to reduce the volume for studio and home settings. Finish it with an exceptionally flexible EQ section, bypassable series effects loop, and dual-master volume design. The Super Sheriff is a loud, proud elevation of the classic British-style amplifier formula.

Two footswitchable channels of classic British tone
The Super Sheriff includes two channels, each with independent master volume controls. The Vintage channel delivers 1960s-era British tones, including blues-inflected cleans and a muscular hard rock crunch with supple, vintage-tinged mids; the Hot Rod channel transports you straight to the Sunset Strip with more gain, in-your-face midrange punch, and tight lows. You'll appreciate how easily the VS100 cleans up with a simple rolling back of your axe's volume knob.
Bypassable series effects loop
If you’re running a pedal-heavy rig, you’ll value the Super Sheriff’s high-quality series effects loop — a feature many vintage-style British-inspired amps lack. While it does an excellent job of keeping your time-based and modulation effects clean when driving the amp’s front end, the loop stays completely out of the circuit when bypassed, ensuring ultra-pure tone when you’re not using it. So, if you’re a plug-straight-into-the-amp player, you won’t be plagued by any unwanted tone suck.
Intuitive EQ and Depth Focus
The Super Sheriff 100’s versatile tone-shaping controls allow for a seemingly endless assortment of sonic options. A 3-band EQ and a Presence control will surely be familiar to any vintage British amplifier aficionado. Still, the Super Sherriff’s rear-mounted Depth Focus control offers an entirely new way to tweak your sound. Located in the amplifier's power section, Depth Focus tightens up your low end for a punchier tone when maxed out while delivering a looser, more resonant feel on the opposite end of the spectrum. When testing the Super Sheriff out at Sweetwater, we found this control particularly useful for carving out studio-ready rhythm guitar tones — especially if you’re running an instrument with a formidable bass response.
