RK50 Richie Kotzen

Straight-up rock with reverb & tremolo

Richie Kotzen Signature Compact Series Head:
50 watts of straight-up rock with reverb & tremolo

This collaboration with Richie Kotzen is a rekindling of a long-standing friendship between the celebrated American rocker and Victory Amplification chief designer, Martin Kidd. There's a huge range of gain available from the single channel, including a footswitchable boost function. A single tone pot keeps it simple, while onboard reverb and tremolo give you ambience for days.

We are so proud to be behind such a brilliant and unique artist.

Single Channel…

Richie loves the simplicity of a single-channel amp where he can ride the transition from clean to crunch to lead gain from the volume pot of his guitar.

Digital Reverb

We've chosen a clean sounding digital reverb for the Compact Series head. Somewhere between a plate and room-style ’verb, it gives you tons of ambience.

Speaker Damping

Speaker damping works in the power section. Set it to 'off' for increased bass response and cabinet/speaker resonance. There will also be more presence/high-end with speaker damping off.

…with Footswitchable Boost

Just like stepping on your favourite full-range boost pedal, except this is another valve gain stage to take you into singing sustain.

Tremolo

One of the earliest guitar effects, tremolo can add anything from a subtle throb to full-on metronomic staccato rhythm. Footswitchable, of course.

Series Effects Loop

The RK50 has a series effects loop should you want to run delays, reverbs or whatever else you like after the preamp section.
