Gain II sears on into tight, aggressive American high-gain grind, perfect for progressive and extended-range players. One for the gain addicts, VX The Kraken pushes all the boundaries of what you can expect from a 'small' amp. It'll even travel as hand luggage when you fly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTwo Footswitchable Channels\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGain I begins with British-inspired drive; plenty of hair and friendly mids to suit anything from classic rock to metal. Gain II is tighter and more aggressive with a more modern midrange voice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAssignable, Dual Master Volume\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAssign Master I to Gain I and Master II to Gain II when you change channels… or have the masters completely independent to switch between at will, no matter which channel you're using. Your choice!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBass Focus Switch\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is much more than a bass EQ. It works in the power section of the amp, offering either a tighter, more focussed bottom end, or conversely more loose and resonant depending on your needs and tastes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFlexible Footswitching\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwo channels, two masters plus your effects loop. Switch it any way you want using the supplied footswitches, or – like Rabea – via remote jacks on your pedal switching system.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLow Power AND Single Ended\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are two ways to tame the beast. The front panel switch offers a low power mode for around 9 watts. In addition, you can use the single-ended mode which switches to just one or other of the power valves (use them evenly to keep the wear roughly equal). Low power and single-ended together is taking you down below 2 watts RMS.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e6L6 or EL34 Power Valves\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou can choose to run either EL34 or 6L6 power valves. They offer subtly different tonal characteristics in terms of power stage overdrive and also overall frequency response. Notice we said subtle! There's a bias range switch to get you in the right ballpark, but precise bias adjustment is also advised whenever you change power valves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFootswitchable gain modes 'Gain I' \u0026amp; 'Gain II'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFootswitchable master volumes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e'Bass focus' switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeries effects loop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh and low power modes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-ended mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower valves switchable to EL34\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePadded carry bag included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Two-channel\/mode all-valve head\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePower:\u003c\/b\u003e 50\/15\/9\/2 watts RMS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eValves: \u003c\/b\u003e4 x 12AX7, 2 x 6L6 as standard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize (mm): \u003c\/b\u003e342(w) x 185(h) x 185(d)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.2kg \/ 18lbs","brand":"Victory","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39497867296903,"sku":"VXKRAKEN","price":1118.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0343\/4368\/2183\/products\/victory-amps-guitar-heads-victory-vx-the-kraken-50w-compact-head-vxkraken-28397745111175.jpg?v=1648902006","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.mom\/en-gb\/products\/victory-vx-the-kraken-50w-compact-head-1247373","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
