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

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

Notes on what to do if your amplifier experiences any strange behavior:
May 2017: over 3000 amplifiers have now been shipped out of the factory and from 3
years answering service queries, the only real issues that come up are valve-related.
These are either premature valve failure, (minimal), valves that have worn out through
extended use or have become microphonic or noisy over time.
Many issues relating to valves can be cured simply by re-tensioning the valve bases. Over
time, the valve sockets, which are constantly heating up, cooling down, expanding and
