Head 2 Head - Victory V40 vs V40D - Do You Prefer The D?

[@BenDewhirstMusic]

And today we ask the question "Can Pete ever have bad tone?" The answer, my friends, is no.

[@andresilvasophisma]

Yes he can, when he uses the cab clone ;) Sorry Pete, just messing with you, you're cool.

[@jamiemacmillan4056]

André Silva and in all fairness he sounded great through that too 😂😂

[@thedirectlight]

When Pete plays the v40d alone at 11:40 I swear it's one of the most beautiful tones I've heard.

[@wagnernoise]

Pete and Ariel are amazing players and they're the best hosts in Anderton's right now. Cheers!

[@timswarts2615]

They're playing is great, but The Captain is my favorite presenter and ruby of course

[@timswarts2615]

Richard Harrold yeah I like seeing Pete and Mick together, they still do acoustic paradiso though

[@antonlundstedt5517]

I prefer the P. Oh and also make the captain meet the guy with a purple tele

[@arvedbohn6133]

That's Danish Pete ;)

[@CentaurusRelax314]

Seriously. How many times do we have to request this? Is Pete holding out for more money? Is it a matter of building drama and desire? Come on, Lee-the people have spoken. Gently. Don't rile us. You wouldn't want to see us when we're riled.

[@veganchoicesareaneasywayto3584]

Pete is a mystery wrapped in an enigma.

[@CentaurusRelax314]

...and dipped in Sexual Chocolate.

[@timmgrube3989]

ariel+pete=instant click

[@justinbouchard]

It's when I change from full screen pornhub to full screen youtube

[@carlescruz5762]

I like Ariel the most, whatwver he is playing through.

[@alejandrooamadoo4928]

Carles Cruz i

[@Cyprusg21]

That jam at the end... frickin fantastic

[@RobCabreraCh]

Yes, it was one the greatest. I even played along to them

[@shaneschmaltz]

This is my favourite combination of players on Andertons. Always great jams when they are together

[@1ido9not8exist6]

I'll happily listen to these guys play anything. Thanks!!!

[@TiqueMD]

How brilliant it is to have Ariel around to do this, and who better to accompany him than Pete. 10/10 would watch again, keep em coming.

[@scoo0oo402]

God balls, the opening and closing jams are filled with such soul. Great playing guys, thanks for the content and a new ringtone!

[@Sloozer45]

I also preferred the "D", and that is through low-end blue-tooth headphones, but i could still here, among other things, the openness and organicness of the "D". Wow, fantastic, beautiful playing throughout! Thanks for the Gibsons at the end (and Easter-egg). So enjoyable - 47 min felt like 20!!

[@SeanMillis]

look out the golden pinky is out again, slide 101 by Ariel.....and thats how its done folks..

[@Guitaural.]

The Canadian winters must have kept Joey and him locked up with the slides for extended periods : ) Tastiness...

[@iamchets]

Wanted to take a break of guitar today, but nevermind Pete motivated me to start drilling dem exercises again.

[@razzo3456]

I feel like this should've been a Danish Pete and Mick video, considering how much say Mick had with the V40s

[@davidrohland9319]

I was having a bad day, but I'm much better now - thank you!

[@nunyobusiness7676]

If you want to know what the joy of playing music with friends looks like....this is it

[@masterbeernuts9344]

*glorious opening jam lads* dat dare is sumproper muzak

[@jesselopez3542]

of all the andertons videos ive watched ( a shit load ) this is by far the best jam I have ever seen. Amazing playing from both of you. thanks heaps

[@andischmidt3334]

While everyone just seems to mention Pete (who is great)! Ariel is one hell of a guitar player!

[@JKM395]

I wanna be Pete when I grow up.

[@JKM395]

Richard Harrold Ha! Excellent point!

[@johnelcanrab2114]

Oh, grow up 😅

[@MichealBT]

There's just nothing that makes me happier than seeing the humbuckers come out at the end of a video. Fantastic playing Ariel & Pete. Beasts of a different color 🤘

[@nigelvonshredman]

Pete and Ariel could do a review video of an old sock and I'd watch it 200 times

[@spada60]

That's cause you dont have a life

[@jasonshrestha]

20:56 21:06 21:28 21:32 22:08 22:02 22:17 22:24

[@yosephmcjoe9575]

Great video boys, I found they're actually rather unique from each other despite being very similar amps... strange that... Also, its good to see Ariel in his natural habitat, with a slide on his hand!

[@xJaGG3d]

0:41 It may have been a mistake, or not, but that lick was fantastic. Great playing as always guys.

[@Godsman1982]

I will be buying a V40 Deluxe next year for sure! I love this amp! and with another point, you guys need a 3 2 1 from GigRig all that lead switching geez. An ABY Baby would make the amp switching much smoother. Just saying.... love you guys

[@lance134679]

Okay, the Tele -> Lightspeed -> V40D combination is a pretty damn great sound.

[@henrikschlotfeldt5229]

I play The D with my SG and my strat. It sounds awesome.... Its a KEEPER.....!!!

[@billiousbogg844]

Hey Henrik, how does 'The D' handle humbuckers? I had the regular V40 and it sounded great with single coils but I was never happy with the humbucker sounds.

[@fourkray4825]

Petes playing gives me life!

[@blairlane1614]

I must say I may have to invest in the V40D. Sounds great. Pete, Ariel....Fantastic jams, gentlemen. I will have to wander in to my local shop and have a good look at that amp. Hopefully the supply is good here in western Canada.

[@stephensmith799]

The ordinary VC 40 is brilliant but opt for the EL34s. They give a much more ‘focussed’ tone than 6L6s. (I swapped after about 1000 hours, just to be on the safe side.)

[@Eddieguitarloebs]

Great demo chuck full of info...im pretty much sold on one of these,spring reverb of course...I like the vintage looking Marshall 2-12 cabs...that would go nice with one of these and could also be used with my 62 bassman head etc.You guys are great players and I can tell you like this amp a lot, that says a lot to me,thanks,

[@bjrnsteinarverby8875]

Much more focus on the D here, and its also generally louder in the mix, and not much tweeking on the amps makes this comparison a bit vague for me.

[@OscarBenben]

seriously this final jam got me hyped

[@sturanb92]

those may have been the best channel jams wow

[@paddygeaney9659]

Please make tracks of all the jams. Would listen to that mesmeric shit all day

[@filnn]

With Pete and Ariel a beautiful jam sesh is always guaranteed :D

[@slash2808]

Hello I would like to know if whether the V40 takes the pedals much better than the V40 Deluxe. In the immediate future, I would need something to marry my pedals. But I noticed that I am eyeing more and more on the Fender Deluxe Reissue. The V40 Deluxe is more oriented on that side. I wonder if I would not buy the V40 Deluxe. But in the immediate future, the most urgent thing is to get me a pedal platform. For the Fender Deluxe or clone, I can wait.

[@davidkieltyka9]

I think the idea with the faster Fender tremolo speeds was to use a fairly low depth setting for a vibrato-y effect. At least that was the idea in 1961 or so. :)

[@SamAlexander14786]

This and the video Bea did with the high gain pedals through the V40D sold me on this amp. I can't wait to pop down to Andersons and try it out!

[@azguitar]

The best demo I've ever seen/heard from Andertons. Well done!

[@69MultiDiesel]

Can we get a slide lesson with ariel?

[@thdef]

:) kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpXcf6aJa9ijkMk

[@williamedwards5582]

I was just thinking this morning. I wonder which one id like better. Thank you

[@thorwulfx1]

Arial, Pete, and a couple of great amps? I approve.

[@chriscook21]

Seriously guys - you nailed it 🎸🎸👍🏻🥃

[@otek_]

Ariel slaying on the 335, goosebumps!

[@sbeer]

man, pete and ariel are woofing amazing.

[@zac_m]

Ariel and Pete are so DISGUSTINGLY talented. Y'all should bring in the next guys who play Welcome Home or Sweet Child of Mine incorrectly in the store and get THEM to try stuff out. Then I'll know how I'll sound on whatever equipment it is

[@rikmcrae]

With how good the Deluxe sounds I doubt they will sell many V40’s in future.

[@rolfamundsen230]

Pete & Ariel pedalboard rundown!

[@TruthTube777]

Pete is right. The V40 Deluxe just has "it". Then you add the valve reverb and...soooo ridiculously good!

[@sonicgli]

I still want to see an epic 3-way (he said 3-way, heh heh) between Pete, Mick and Ariel dammit! Love all three of those dudes!

[@CurtisMcLeodMusic]

Yes!!!! This is why I watch this channel! This jam sesh

[@jamiemacmillan4056]

I honestly think I'm the reincarnation of the idiot that thought the metalzone was an upgrade on the heavy metal, I was waiting for them to play something filthy... What the fuck is wrong with me! It's a clean amp! Someone teach me how to appreciate something other than distortion!!!

[@mateusfranco3203]

Ariel is a beast!! Man! What a guitarist... Just awesome

[@anxiousmindmusic]

Been thinking of how to describe Pete's playing for a while. 'By the seat of his pants' seems to fit best :) Always exciting to hear.

[@marcstanford5857]

Ashley Mann he can play any style. Probably because he's played in a lot of bands and had to learn many styles. He's played in huge stadiums etc. probably did session work as well. That's why we need a Lee Lee meets Pete video.

[@oliverseal6462]

Please do a comparison of the Victory V40 Deluxe vs the Victory RK50. So far this hasn’t been done on KZbin.

[@brettdiaz]

When you mentioned the V40 was tighter and the V40D was more open, did you mean the bottom end was tighter or was it more compressed?

[@metelegerald]

Yeah Ariel is back!! Love your playing man. Pete too!

[@trollfiddler]

Agree with Pete 100% on the digital reverb. Now, the main problem is in the last month I bought a 68 Vibrolux reissue and on impulse a rocker 15 to practice quietly on. Now I want (no I need) the Deluxe. How many lives do I have left? Your fault Pete.

[@lucianos1990]

sounds like its a full house over at andertons

[@AnAmericanGuitarist]

The Gibson jam stole the show. Great stuff!

[@michaeltrice8924]

I know Mick is busy with "That Pedal Show", but how about a 3 way jam: Pete, Ariel, and Mick? I'm not sure if my mind will be able to perceive the beautiful tones that are sure to be created from such an event.... But I'm willing to try.

[@The404Erorr]

So much my bromance in a single video

[@lucaisokay]

How dare you make me mess myself at 43:20 That solo tone from Ariel... Heavenly.

[@reviewforthetube6485]

They both sound amazing the d sounds a little more trebly but the original one sounds amazing both sound amazing actually just slightly different the deluxe almost seams to me have a little to mich treble sometimes but the regular one was just about perfect but I liked the bite of the deluxe so both are amazing amps just according to what tone you like really

[@cour1988]

Depends on where the D goes?

[@timothymckane6362]

33:36 Best sound effect ever.

[@grosebud4554]

I don’t find the amp to be fendery - it’s way more akin to a Vox amp as the highs are very pronounced and not as softened like a fender - the only fender aspect is the EQ curve which is slightly scooped, the over driven sound sounds closer to a blues Jr as well. It’s a great amp none the less but not as fendery as people say.

[@Dam-oH]

That jam at the start was fantastic

[@DiedrichKnickerbocker1783]

12:45, Fender Custom '57 Twin and Bassman.

[@dannysnow46]

That 335 sounds amazing 😍

[@Lorneplumber]

The only victory that appeals to my personal needs, If I didn't have this covered already then I'd get one

[@owenhu9465]

What amp do you have to have this covered? Just out of curiosity

[@Lorneplumber]

Divided by 13 CJ11/Strymon Flint - Fender Princeton Custom 68 or both for stereo boinginess

[@davedavem]

Pete makes me want a telecaster. Or maybe it's my age...

[@MatrixfanMacUser]

"Don't say a word while we dance with the devil" at the end :D

[@gabrielcairns7050]

I'd love spec videos on the common guitars we see on andertons, like the pickups in the purple tele, and other such guitars.

[@neighbourhoodmusician]

Oof. That driven wide open sound on the Deluxe is bloody godly.

[@trentonmiller4842]

The slide solo was so tasty 😩

[@dep1001]

WD-40 wins always!

[@RackhirTheRed]

I really wish they could get more of these Victory amps over in America so I could try one out. The closet store to me that has them is a 9 hr drive one way. I'd sell a couple of my Fender amps to get a Victory if they are as good ( to me ) as these guys make them out to be. But I wouldn't want to do that without trying one first. Oh well. First world problem I guess.

[@claytonmurrayguitar]

RackhirTheRed If you haven't gotten one yet. Martel Music in Connecticut has them. They're great! And the videos don't do the V40 Deluxe any justice. It sounds sooo good in person.

[@taylorelliotj]

I currently have a hot rod deluxe and (sorry Pete) I just don't get on with it. I've tried swapping tubes, swapping speaker to Alnico creme but still I find tone doesn't do it for me. Is the V40 similar in tone to the HRD or will it get me closer to the older fender amps with the greater mid scoop and tighter eq? Is the V40 a step up from the HRD if just using the clean channel? Or is it actually too similar for it to be worth it?

[@adamwebb241]

Digi reverb can sound great on an amp as long as it's set at no more than 10 o'clock

[@WesleyACDCRythms]

Could you guys please do a review of the new schecter e-1 models. Standard and costum?

[@o.m.marques8669]

i misds ariel and petes videos . They sounded great when there was no competing

[@WifiChrome]

Can you do a video like this for the two v30s ?

[@benni_boi]

I think the Guitars Used section of the description is a little goofed

[@vikpavasars3272]

Nice comparison. Is Mick no longer doing these segments?

[@andertons]

Mick is busy at the moment, but not to worry, he will be back.

[@skjelstad777]

The Delux seems so much louder... and so much fuller

[@aidanjones4383]

Sounds nice

[@baldybonce29]

these two are the nuts!!!!

[@tonyfaelens3626]

Can you have a good jazz sound, with one of the 2 amps ??

[@adamelias5403]

Tony Faelens I haven't tryed it, but i say yes, obviusly it depends in wich type of sound you are looking for, The best way to know it is trying it!

[@tonyfaelens3626]

Hallo Adam, thanks for your answer, the sound i look for, the 2 john's, Scofield and Abercrombie(RIP) and Kurt Rosenwinkel, the more "modern" sound, if you like.

[@Millo1868]

nice slide solo...what slide is that?

[@donunus]

The digital reverb has more of a fluttering sound. I love the spring reverb more

[@donunus]

I also like the spring reverb on the D more than the pedal board.

[@davicincrcs1310]

Which chords are the backing track are they playing?

[@middle_pickup]

I would love to see a hot rod deluxe/deville vs dutchess video.

[@stevenolsen3162]

Love Pete's groove face!

[@lunar5soundpainting]

Unless, theres no spring reverb in V40 DELUXE head, cause the spring tank is only in the combo version :). Head has also digital.

[@thestrictlynoparking]

Is that correct? they said spring in the deluxe head

[@jamesgrobertson8024]

Hi Pete, do U ever use the gain in the hot rod deluxe?

[@henkiee88]

The best video ever!
