Description
For over twelve years Victory have made a name for themselves providing tone to players with various successful ranges; from the Duchess to the Kraken, the Copper to the Sheriff and more.
In 2024 Victory released Martin Kidd’s ultimate guitar amplifier – the MK Overdrive – an amp inspired by some of Martins most famous & well-loved original guitar amp tones from the last 3 decades. The MK OD was quickly deemed one of the best amps ever made by customers, artists and media alike.
Whilst the MK OD incorporated a luxury, ‘no expense spared’ approach to its design, along with various levels of visual customisation, the MKX captures the heart & soul of the MK OD in a compact & more competitively priced amplifier. Still manufactured in the UK to the high standards of all Victory products, but designed & priced to be used by professional musicians the world over.
Featuring three channels - Clean, OD1, OD2, independent gain, volume and EQ sections, two master volumes, and two different reverb types each with level and decay controls, we’ve packed in as many features as possible into a 50 watt valve lunchbox head.
Taking inspiration from all of the above but adding some new features to give the MKX its own identity, this is the culmination of years of development and expertise from the Victory team and without doubt the most versatile Victory Lunchbox amplifier to date.
Features
CLEAN CHANNEL
Covering all of the clean tones you could want – A bright, chiming clean sound with its own EQ, Gain and Level control. Ideal for everything from funky chord work, jazz standards and much more…Upper gain settings will give you ‘edge of breakup’ type sounds.
OD1 – THE CLASSIC VICTORY CRUNCH
With separate Clean and Overdrive channels, this overdrive channel offers two gain modes: Gain 1 for Crunch and Rhythm sounds, while Gain 2 provides full-on saturated overdrive.
OD2 – ALL THE LEAD TONES AND HIGH GAIN SOUNDS

TWO MASTER VOLUMES

DUAL REVERB
We knew that one type of Reverb wouldn’t be enough for our new flagship model, so we included two. Reverb I is a vintage classic spring-style reverb, ideal for all of those authentic tones. Reverb II is a modern reverb inspired by The Deputy, ranging from subtle ambiance to full shimmering immersion. Each Reverb type has a level and decay control allowing for the ultimate balance of ambience and versatility.
