Description

During the development of the Duchess MKII, we were careful not to stray too far from what made the original range so beloved. Tonally, the Duchess remains the go-to amplifier for clean to edge-of-breakup tones and the ultimate pedalboard platform. Additionally, we’ve drawn inspiration from some of our more recent products—adding new tonal switching features from the MK Clean Series and updating the reverb circuits to incorporate the same Accutronics Spring Tank used in the MK Clean too.

Features

Voice Switch

Extra tonal flexibility can now be achieved with a new 3 way voice switch enabling you to accommodate any pickup type or playing style. Each successive selection allows greater lower mid-range frequency content through the treble control.

Mid Kick

This popular feature from the original Duchess range has been expanded to include three stages of dynamic midrange shaping:

Position I: Stock response

Position II: Increased lower midrange

Position III: Additional gain in the upper midrange

Valve-Driven Spring Reverb

We’ve incorporated a valve-driven Accutronics medium-decay 3-spring tank—the same high-quality unit used in our flagship MK Clean model. This can also be turned on/off via the included footswitch.

Valve-Driven Tremolo

An authentic valve-driven tremolo puts the icing on the Duchess cake. Featuring Speed and Depth controls, this is ideal for those classic tones.

Low Power Mode

The front panel power switch offers a low-power mode of around 7 watts. This works brilliantly for home and studio use, not to mention for those of you on quiet stages with in-ears. Or… just max out the amp and bask in that extra low-volume drive and incredible compression.

Series Effects Loop

The hard-bypassable effects loop enables you to use delays, reverbs etc after the preamp section of the amp to keep them clean sounding. V40 Deluxe uses a post-phase-inverter master volume, so if they aren’t as clear as you like, try lowering the mix/output of the pedal, especially as you turn the amp master up.
