Single Ended Mode Switch. 
This switch, located through a hole in the rear grill, is used to switch off either 
of the 2 output valves. This results in the amplifier running ‘single-ended’ 
which is a very pure Class A mode. If the front panel power switch is on LOW, 
in single-ended mode the VX produces around 0.3 Watts rms. This should 
allow playing at home without getting lynched by the neighbours. The switch 
throws both ways to alternate between each output valve for even wear if 
this mode is used extensively. 
However, even this very low output power can still be very loud so be aware 
of who you may be affecting. Victory takes no responsibility for any physical 
or verbal abuse that may result from your playing.  
 
Biasing: 
     

 

 
Whenever any output valves are changed, the amplifier will need to be re-
biased. This must be done by a qualified or competent person as there are 
lethal voltages inside the VX and getting killed by a guitar amplifier is a 
rubbish way to die. Also take care as valves may still be very hot from use. Use 
a cloth to remove valves if possible. Take care when removing any valve as the
