What? Victory V4 ‘The Duchess’ Where seen? Andertons, Guildford Price? £699

A close contender for my new ’board, the pedal version of the superb V40 head boasts an all-valve preamp into a 180-watt solid-state power amp, so you can use a backline speaker cab instead of a hefty combo/stack.There’s onboard reverb and tremolo, plus the facility to run it directly to your PA or recording console. Featuring three-band EQ, tremolo depth and speed plus reverb control, there’s also an effects loop and footswitch jack for the tremolo.A super option if you fancy reducing your backline, require a simple recording solution, or need to placate volume-averse sound engineers.
