Clean Master
Each channel has its own Master Volume control. Use this one to balance the volume level of the clean
channel to taste when switching between channels and modes.
Overdrive Master
Use this one to balance the volume level of the overdrive channel to taste when switching between
channels and modes.
Clean Reverb

Overdrive Reverb
Use this control to adjust the amount of Reverb on the Overdrive channel.
HIGH – STANDBY – LOW Switch
The Silverback should always be switched on, (mains switch on front of amplifier), with this front panel
toggle switch in its centre position. The amplifier is now in ‘STANDBY’ mode with just the valve heaters
and low voltages on. This allows the valves to heat up before they get 100s of volts up them, (it’s less of
a shock). After around 60 seconds, the amp can be switch to either HIGH, (around 50 Watts rms) or LOW,
(around 15 Watts rms). To extend valve life, the amplifier can be switched to ‘Standby’ when not being
played. We also recommend switching to Standby for a few seconds before switching off as this reduces
internal current spikes that may reduce the life of sensitive components.

Voltage selector
Selects the correct mains voltage for your territory. Please refer to a qualified technician before even
thinking about moving this switch. If you do find yourself in foreign climes where the mains voltage is
different to home, (and the water tastes funny), it will be necessary to switch this selector. The mains
fuse must always be changed at the same time. Failure to do this will result in either the mains fuse
blowing as soon as the amp is turned on or the amp running with a fuse that is of too higher value to
provide adequate safety protection. Generally, the fuse value will double if the mains voltage is halved,
(i.e. if it’s a 2A fuse in the UK @ 230V, it will needs to be a 4A fuse for the USA @ 115V).
Always use the correct rating and type of fuse. Victory amplifiers exclusively use UL-approved 20x5mm
glass ‘T’ or ‘Timed’ fuses. If you have difficulty acquiring the correct fuses, please contact Victory using

Please only use the correct mains cord for your territory!
