Victory VX The Kraken, User Manual

Page: 4 / 16

Balancing this control with either Master Volumes is crucial in delivering the
tone and feel that works best for you.
GAIN I/II switch
Switches between the two different Gain ranges. This function is also foot-
switchable.
GAIN II
This control adds more of a modern American high-gain character to the
content of your sound and again should be used in conjunction with both
Master controls to achieve the tonal response you desire.
BASS
This controls the low frequency content of your sound. Higher levels of bass
can be good at low volumes, but take care when running the amp louder – you
may find you need to reduce the bass control. As with all the EQ pots, adjust
to taste!
MIDDLE
Controls the midrange frequencies in your sound. Run the middle control
higher to help cut through a band mix, or generally fatten and ‘widen’ your
sound. Run it lower for a lighter, less ‘in-your-face’ kind of sound.
TREBLE
Controls the high frequency content of your sound and is also a powerful tone
shaper when it comes to overdrive character.
MASTER I
The Master I Volume control is used to set the stage or overall volume of the
VX. If this is turned to maximum, then the VX becomes a non-master volume
amplifier where either Gain control in conjunction with the Volume control on
the guitar allows for a wide range of Volumes & Gains to be achieved. This can
be very powerful for tone shaping.
The Master Volume control is positioned before the phase splitter valve and
after the FX return.
