We're big fans of Victory's V4 preamp pedals, but its new Duchess takes that idea further – its a power amp too. A fully-fledged head in pedal form.
We first heard it at NAMM when Victory artist and our 2019 blues poll winner Chris Buck gave us a quick tour of its features.
Guitarist magazine has reviewed it in its latest issue on sale here, and its demoed here for them by Richard Barrett.
