Victory Amps Sheriff 25 Compact Head

Victory Amps Sheriff 25 Compact Head

Here at Palen Music Center, we're thrilled to present the Victory Sheriff 25 Compact Head, an amp that perfectly embodies the spirit of classic British rock with modern versatility. This compact yet powerful head delivers an exceptional tone that ranges from the sparkling cleans and dynamic crunch of 60s British blues and rock to the searing, hot-rodded sounds of 70s and 80s heavy rock. The construction of this amp is top-notch, featuring a robust, all-valve design and a high-quality PCB layout, ensuring both durability and pristine signal integrity. It's built to withstand the rigors of the road while delivering consistently superb sound.

The Sheriff 25 boasts a dual-channel design, rooted in a vintage British circuit. The Vintage channel provides lower gain tones, perfect for responsive playing and capturing those iconic 60s sounds. The Hot Rod channel, on the other hand, is where the amp truly unleashes its high-gain fury, providing a spectrum of tones from a slightly chewy grit to an all-out flame-thrower, ideal for heavy rock and screaming leads. Both channels feature independent master volume controls, making this amp incredibly adaptable for any setting, from the studio to the stage, and even for dialing in incredible tones at bedroom volumes.

At the heart of the Sheriff 25's rich, authentic tone are its valves: three ECC83 preamp tubes and two EL86 power tubes. The ECC83s contribute to the amp's dynamic and responsive preamp section, allowing for a wide range of gain structures. The EL86 power tubes, while less common than EL84s (though the amp can be biased for EL84s), deliver a slightly higher wattage and contribute to a unique power amp voicing that provides a focused bottom end and singing sustain. This combination of tubes ensures that whether you're seeking vintage chime or modern aggression, the Sheriff 25 delivers a sound that's both powerful and harmonically rich.
