Output Power
The following measurements were taken at 240V mains input into an 8 Ohm load using a
1 KHz Sine Wave with the output waveforms set just before clipping:
High Power: 96 Watts
Low Power: 30 Watts
Valves:
V1 & V2, ECC83, (12AX7), V3 & V4, ECC81, (12AT7). V5, V6, V7 & V8: 6L6
Notes on output volume and speaker attenuation:
Victory amplifiers are designed to be played loud with gigging and rehearsal in mind. It
can be difficult to get suitable volumes and tones from the V140
at home or ‘bedroom’
levels even in the lower power settings. The nature of valve amps and the POTs used to
control the signal is such that they only really start to work when turned up. However,
many Victory users have had great success with speaker power-soaks and simulators. The
simplest ones are low-
cost attenuators such as the Jet City ‘Jettenuator’ which simply
soaks up the output power of the amplifier allowing only some of the signal to reach your
speaker(s). This allows you to really crank the amplifier up into output valve distortion to
get big-stage overdrive without disturbing anyone.
Victory takes no responsibility for any physical or verbal abuse that may result from your
playing.
For home studio recording and speaker attenuation, at the top end of the market, we
have the Two Notes Torpedo range of attenuators & simulators. These are really
excellent devices and are what our colleague Rabea Massaad uses for home recording:

There are many others out there with Palmer being one of the first companies to offer
such devices. These are tried and tested solutions and also recommended by Victory:
