Comparing the Victory V40 vs. V40 Deluxe | Mick Taylor | That Pedal Show | Part 1 | Thomann

[@topografer]

v40d my amp. I am so happy I chose this over so many others. Great sounds and very useable

[@Marc-uw4mt]

Two awesome guys that know what they are talking about. Great!

[@gilh3947]

finally a guy who demoes an amps CLEAN sound. The basis of an amp is a very good clean sound.

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

Indeed it is!

[@goswo]

You are so right. Finally its possible to hear the nature of the amp.

[@TheMjriley5150]

Gents, thank you for posting this video. This was very helpful. I received my V40 Deluxe Head yesterday and i am very pleased with it. Super clean and stable, nice EQ and the Verb and Trem are fantastic. Takes pedals very well. I have this paired up with a Sheriff 44 and I'm in tone heaven!!!

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

Hi Mike, which pedals are you using? I am thinking of picking up one of these at some point. //Andy

[@TheMjriley5150]

Hi Andy, Right now, I'm just using the amp by itself so that I can get a feel for it. I played around with a delay in the loop and it was seamless. I do have a few different OD pedals (Max OD808, Xotic BB Preamp and Mesa Grid Slammer) and I plan on playing around with them a bit in the next few days. I'll let you know what I like. I'm really enjoying the V40 deluxe as a clean amp and the Sheriff for my overdrive. I'm 55 and a bit of a vintage guy (LPs, Teles and Strats). These two amps meet all of my needs by themselves.

Thanks Mick for the cool advice to turn up the treble not volume to be heard more. Great snippet of advice 👍🤘🏻🎸

[@TheBedroomRocker1]

Re-watching this again after some time... pity that Thomann stopped selling Victory amps :-(

[@Hardjaxl]

Mick here. Hello.

[@MisterKaribOfficiel]

You no Alex ?

[@SlowhandGreg]

sounds awesome real presence and headroom to the sound, absolute killer amp

[@joszefrviz398]

When will Thomann be bringin in Victory amplifiers?

[@coccoslash]

Why are there no more Victory amplifiers on the Thomann website?

[@MiniForklift]

Not at all used to seeing Mick on the right ?!

[@Andrewmervyn]

Every time i see Mick, I see a British Nathan Drake

[@alecboyyes]

Andrew Mervyn Lol, was gonna say the German guy looks like Sam Drake! The Drake brothers rock out!

[@guitarsimon1]

10/10 cannot unsee

[@danielroberts9579]

Why does the 'high' gain sound in the Deluxe sound soooooo much better than the original V40? Is it the cabinet?

[@Jonathan-gl2hh]

Wich Pickups do Mick use in his Strat? Those sound amazing.. :)

[@mattd8704]

SD antiquities. Texas in mid/neck, custom bridge, i think

[@lunar5soundpainting]

I think that Echollette closed back cab sounds pretty bad. The open back is much better.

[@erniecf]

Great amp

[@chuckjaym982]

Welche weiße Gitarre hängt denn da links an der Wand ?

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

It's a Hagstrom Fantomen (tho.mn/cin66) that may have an appearance in another Victory video coming soon... //Philipp

[@ZikoHendrix]

I thought yhe REAL Mick Taylor gonna be here.

[@SlowhandGreg]

he was ;)

[@ZikoHendrix]

SlowhandGreg Which mins ?

[@andischmidt3334]

to be honest.. this Mick Taylor is miles better than the old guy from the sixties.. ;)

[@tonystamkoski5226]

Andi Schmidt stupid comment...and that guy predominantly played in the 70s in the greatest band of all time...Both are great players but really..!!

[@sonjaspackenberger9250]

I don't know how you recorded these things, but they sound like a squashed fly. Wiry and tinny.

[@stefanofranchini5485]

SORRY WHY USING EFFECTS IN A REVIEW OF AN AMP/////////

[@scampthelazycat9891]

never tried the deluxe but the v40 was the flattest, bassiest and dullest amp i ever owned and returned immediately

[@coreyclark6505]

Scamp Thelazycat You disliked it that much? I’ve always thought they sounded great on the videos, but haven’t had a chance to play one here in the states personally.

[@scampthelazycat9891]

Corey Clark corey those vids do indeed sound great because volume wise they are shaking the walls, when i first plugged into the v40 i was horrified . amp was returned the bext day, a shocking disappointment

[@andischmidt3334]

Which cab did you use? The one that was specifically designed for the amp or which speakers? Every speaker has its own character.. i have a few cabinets and sometimes i love the sound of an amp connected to one and absolutely hate it connected to another ;)

[@komimakojaketu]

Thank you for your opinion! I thought my ears were failing me. I think there's an inherent dullness combined with questionable voicing on all the Victory amps I heard on YT so far. Not a single one impressed me. They all sound kind of constipated compared to the good Fenders, Marshalls, Voxes, Oranges, Hiwatts.... It sounds like the speakers are playing 'inwards' instead of 'outwards'. It's the PLAYERS that make Victory amps sound good at times. I usually stay away from amps that need constant tweaking to sound good.

[@nsc217]

I can never watch these guy’s videos because they never tell you what amp they’re playing… They just play lol 😳
