Victory launches Silverback Rob Chapman and The Countess

British amplifier builder Victory has announced two new models, the Silverback Rob Chapman Signature head and the V30 The Countess 'lunchbox' head.

Dorje frontman and YouTube guitar hero Chappers worked alongside Victory to design the Silverback, a two-channel, all-valve, 50-watt head (switchable to 15 watts) which also features a couple of Chapman innovations in the form of a 'knob guard' designed to protect controls and a flip-up top grille that allows for quick access to valves.

The Silverback is shipping now with an SRP of £1899.

V30 The Countess

Featuring two channels, the all-valve V30 is switchable between 30, 15, 9 and 2 watts, and was developed alongside Guthrie Govan as his 'flying amp'.
