Description
Gain 1 & 2
The V4 Kraken Guitar amp has two channels. Gain 1 is a slightly looser more ‘vintage’ British-inspired gain sound. Gain 2 is tighter in the bass with a more cutting midrange character and, of course more drive.
Three-Band EQ
Powerful bass, middle and treble controls to shape your tone. These also have an effect on the gain character and drive levels – just like in any valve guitar amp.
Reverb
Lush sounding digital reverb gives you ambience aplenty. Run it low for a subtle feeling of space, or max it out for washy, splashy hugeness! The reverb is foot-switchable using a TRS cable (sold separately).
Two notes Technology
Two notes Audio engineering Torpedo-embedded DynIR Virtual Cabinet technology is onboard the Kraken. The Cab Sim XLR makes is super easy to take you Victory virtual cabinets anywhere.
Series Effects Loop
Sits between the preamp and power amp. Run your time-based effects here for maximum clarity.
Balanced Line Out
Send a direct feed to a separate speaker simulator, front of house or wherever you like. Can be used with or without a speaker connected.
9V DC Power Output
Want to power some extra pedals and stick this on your board? We've included a 9V DC centre-negative output that will put out a maximum of 500mA. This is more than enough for the vast majority of drives, fuzzes and analogue delays and so on.
V4 The Kraken partners a V4 Series all-valve preamp with a solid-state, 180-watt Class D power amp. It’s ultra-compact size and negligible weight gives you the portability of the VX Kraken, while the huge tones and power bring the features loved by Super Kraken fans. It’s perfect for home and studio players looking for an elegant solution on a small cab or desktop, and also for touring musicians who need a great sounding, dependable amp.
Victory chief designer, Martin Kidd: “After the success of the V4 Duchess Guitar amp, the Victory amps community kept asking ‘Where is a Kraken version?’ So here it is! With the V4 Kraken Guitar amp we wanted it to have all the best bits of the range, in a package that you could take with you everywhere!”
“So not only does the V4 Kraken Guitar amp have a V4 all-valve preamp front end, a 180 Watt Class D power section, digital reverb, an effects loop and three band EQ. But we are excited to announce we have teamed up with our friends at Two Notes Audio Engineering, so you can carry your Virtual Cabinets with you and recall your six favourites from the preset switch. Victory artist Rabea Massaad has created these presets, so straight out of the box you have six great cabinet sounds. We think this makes the V4 Kraken Guitar amp the perfect all-in-one guitar amp, you can take it anywhere!”
