Victory’s All-Powerful 'The Copper' Amp Now in a V4 Preamp Pedal Form!

[@andertons]

Please Note: Since recording this video the Bass Cut switch has now been renamed to Bass Mode. All functions of the switch have stayed the same. Thanks for tuning in! 🤘

[@markelder2484]

Can the fx loop for delya and such still be used while the pedal is in bypass mode?

[@musicamygdala9953]

Any cab sim in it?

[@papersquares]

It was a video about a pedal, but I fell in love with the guitar.

[@andertons]

Happens every time we use a Gretsch guitar... 😉

[@WSzafranski]

I just moved to Germany for studies and now I live in a flat. I got myself a quiet rig for home use (so I don't disturb the neighbours) consisting of a Torpedo CAB M and a V4 Kraken. Best decision ever. I'll probably get more of those V4 preamps in the future.

[@cdbrown30]

Y’all literally cover everything and for that I appreciate you.

[@effess8698]

Man, that opening chord gave me goosebumps

[@chaosin73]

That Gretsch guitar just steals the show. (Does help with Pete playing of course)

[@mike42356]

Saw Pete with the 335, instant like, beer open, perfect evening. 😁

Well, hollow, whatever :P

[@BenFentem]

Looks like my Sheriff V4 might be getting a playmate! Killer wet/dry silent rig sorted

[@andertons]

Now that's gonna be a killer rig! 🤘

[@I.M.Guitar-Nerd]

You said it now you need to do it, V4 and a Katana! Please, let's hear it!

[@pandorski35000]

It's so great to see you guys use these big guitars, always loved the aethetics of the 6120, bought one recently, as i was in lack a "proper" electric, something able to deliver some acoustic sound and electric as well

[@TeslaOsiris]

I have a Boss Katana Artist and have two V4 preamps (Countess and Kraken). The V4s sound amazing through the Katana Artist.

[@RockG.o.d]

Hi could you do a demo video of the 2 through the katana. Though I’m wanting the copper and the sheriff. Just cos my Marshall and vox are too loud for my place.

[@wabisabi6802]

Imagine a Copper and Kraken V4 with a CAB M. 🔥👌

[@andertons]

Yup - all the V4 preamps with a CAB M would make a fantastic mini rig

[@MrDrewseph]

Vox is still my fave and only sound 💖

[@chrisjs6123]

Already ordered mine. Been using the Copper profile on my kemper but I think this will get me running my V40 again.

[@matzer8846]

This Martin Kidd does quite know howto do great stuff ampwise (;-)) Kudos!

[@mortonwilson795]

Great overview. I have been running The Copper into my studio rig for the last year or so - great Vox / Chimey sound on tap. Keen to buy a Duchess Amp + Cab at some point - I think that would be a nice 'live' pairing. Just a thought - the Effectrode Blackbird is also a nice 'pre-amp' style pedal if you want a more Fender / Dimble sound going into the desk (doesn't have the 4 cable thing, though).

[@WolverineBeast86]

What a great song to end with!

[@JimijaymesProductions]

To be fair I didn't like the sound of the copper back amp that much as a die hard ac30 fan but this pedal sounds cool, not as an ac30 replacement but just as jangle chimney rock sound.

[@johnmundt7834]

Sounds good even through 60 feet of cable

[@martinrimbereidvik9324]

Bought a V4 Kraken about a year an a half ago, just because I think the 50w head is a bit overkill for home use. Got it paired up with a Blackstar HT20H and it workes perfectly. Might be the only pedal I never will part with.

[@hmg294]

Would love to see the 4 cable method used with the DSM & Humboldt Simplifier. Maybe overkill, but it would be an interesting comparison of the preamps.

[@gothnev]

If victory could do a midi-controlled option that would be a game changer!

[@mindfall82]

Pete sleeping in the back room again!

[@Dannyexplosion]

I’m interested. Would’ve been more helpful to use a more common guitar.

[@kevinmusso2397]

Wish you had switched up guitars, but what a great product. I have a Countess. I think I will get this one too

[@ivantheterrible4230]

Can you run this straight into a power amp like the Orange Pedal Baby?

[@johnjgibson6807]

Got Some Options On That And Sounds Great Guys 👍👍🎶🎶🎸

[@johnmcshane4505]

What about using a line 6 powercab plus with this

[@gfrozin]

Man, Martin Kidd just can't make a bad sounding piece of gear.

[@williamsmothers8830]

When you demo the Nextone Special, please try this pedal with it?

[@sing60s]

Wish tou could do a review of the NUX MG300 ? :)

[@Pulse2AM]

sounds good, doesn't sound like an AC30 to me though.

[@JimijaymesProductions]

To me 50% of an ac30 is preamp and 50% is cathode biased el84s breaking up and the speakers. I have an ac50 which is basically the same preamp (slight changes) but fixed biased el34s and through a Marshall 412 it has voxyness but sounds quite different to an ac30 with blues.

[@Pulse2AM]

@@JimijaymesProductions AC30's have a vey distinct sound, I can't think of anything that sounds like them, even the AC15 doesn't sound like them imo.

[@frmcf]

Careful with footwitches! They’re not all compatible: some are momentary switches that toggle a relay in the amp (switch is not on/off, just a toggle button) and some are latching switches (hard switching in the pedal, switch is either open or closed). Dunno about Victory, but Peavey and Marshall use different types!

[@TeslaOsiris]

The V4 manual says you have to use a latching TRS switch

[@biggreensofar]

@@TeslaOsiris All Victory amps and pedals use TRS or TS latching switches for all Footswitchable functions.

[@TheAkashPatra]

nice sir!

[@kingdarko]

got the kind of tones reg and tosh would love

[@AdamskiHamski]

Has anyone tried the Victory V4 pedals with a Marshall JVM amp?

[@musicamygdala9953]

It still doesn’t clear to me: can I use it like a standalone preamp directly to PA? I mean, is there any IR or cab sim in it? @Andertons?

[@nicolashauss4075]

You’ll need a cab sim with the V4

[@rangerdoc1029]

Victory gets it. With nearly everyone going direct into IRs, why mess with power sections & load boxes anymore?

[@AnthonyJamesArtist]

To get the power tube saturation. The IR is only simulating the speaker

[@tunesmith7437]

Why did you not employ it as a virtual amp plugged straight into a PA or Board?

[@andertons]

You could do that if you wanted to - I think Rabea normally does his videos like this, so go see if he's filmed this one yet. He's certainly filmed some of the other V4 pedals in the past.

[@EastBayBlue]

Captain, when demoing amps, it would nice if you’d emulate tones from popular songs. Just ruffing doesn’t relate the amp’s capability. I.e. How well will it reproduce a Fender 57’ Tweed, or a Marshall Plexi, or a VOX AC30?

[@timmypix]

I think the video's pretty clear that this is a Vox-style pre-amp. It's not going to emulate a Fender tweed or a Plexi.

[@calebo29536]

Hello! I am just wondering what the purpose of preamp pedals are and what they do? And could this pedal be used with any amp? I’m not good with pedals, and am just getting into them, but if I had a blues jr, could I use this pedal to get it to sound like the copper? Not that I don’t like the sound of a blues jr, just interested. Thank you!

[@andertons]

We have a great guide to preamp pedals that would be a good read. Explains how they work, different types along with what to expect when using one. Hope that helps & thanks for tuning in! www.andertons.co.uk/guitar-preamp-pedal-guide

[@calebo29536]

Andertons Music Co awesome! Thanks!

[@andertons]

Just to add.... the V4 really isn't "a pedal" - although it works plugged in to the front of an amp, its much better straight in to the power amp, or in to a desk (with a cab sim).

[@stephane406]

Sounds good on every sound, but never excellent, quite disappointed because I expected way more from victory !

[@mrtelechi]

Why would I buy this when I could get a second hand AC15...etc, for cheaper?

[@frmcf]

The pedal’s a lot lighter! If your main amp’s a Marshall or a Fender but you want a Vox sound as well, this saves you lugging two heads around. Of course you’re still running the same power amp and speaker, but that’s the compromise. And you don’t have to mic it up to record with.

[@andertons]

Last time I tried, I couldn't fit an AC15 on to a pedal board.... :)

[@mrtelechi]

@@andertons All the times I have left positive feedback and this is the only time you answer?...lol.. Yeah, but you still have to have an amp, so that blows that out of the water, because even if it's solid state, you still can't fit it onto your pedalboard. Superb videos though.

[@chrisjs6123]

For me it’s simple, I can run it into my V40D and get the sound without adding another amp to my room. Secondly I can run this into a reverb pedal into my Seymour Duncan Powerstage200 and I have a complete rig on a Pedaltrain nano which I can plug into any cab or run DI. But yeah if you don’t have that kit already and just want an amp. Maybe a second hand AC15 makes way more sense.

[@mrtelechi]

@@andertons it's a 'pre-amp' not an amp... :-/ The clue is in the name...

[@tonykoziol9052]

Fender Hotrod sounds better to me for cleans.

[@ChrisRoth]

I disagree with the microphonic aspect of the thing, good quality tubes are not microphonic, they dont "ping", pinging tubes are related to bad tubes...

[@narny04]

I must be the only one who hates twang...that sound bothers me...I love songs that are in that style but the guitar by itself is terrible.

[@jefflebowski1838]

Thanks, I thought that I am the only one thinking it. I like Pete and his Tele playing, but the Gretsch through the pedal+amp sounds ... well ... I believe that this preamp is exceptional but this video doesnt give justice
