"Victoria Secrets"

Back from Chicago visiting Victoria's factory, I am proud to announce that Vintage-Tone is now the official and only dealer for Victoria amplifiers in Denmark and Sweden. I fell in love with these amps years ago back when I was working at Guitar and Co in Paris after we traded in two of Buddy Guy's twins. They have all the qualities of the vintage 50's and early 60's Fender amps and more. The quality of the sound, and of the craftsmanship is outstanding, using only solid pine wood cabinets, top of the line and custom made components, down to the smallest detail.

" We haven't overlooked one detail; the resistors are *ALL* Allen Bradley new stock carbon types. We contracted, at great expense, to have these resistors made for us by A&B. (They are currently out of production-only Victoria and Matchless were committed enough to have these little suckers made. You can be pretty sure anybody else advertising that they use "carbon resistors" are using cheapo Asian types) The capacitors used in this and every Victoria are a proprietary type made to replicate the sound of a 40 year old Astron. The cap manufacturer thinks we're out of our minds!! We probably are!! That's what makes our amps so great though... All pots are custom made by CTS for us. No Mouser/Radio Shack crap here folks! It's part of the reason that these amps cost an arm and a leg....And the transformers? We found the ACTUAL engineer from the '50s who designed these transformers for Triad. He coughed up copies of the actual winding data, the electrical/mechanical data needed to knock the old trannies off perfectly! All Victoria transformers, down to the model 518, are made by a 5 star manufacturer who used this data when manufacturing our trannies. Then there's the wire. Made by the same company who supplied Fender in the old days. We purchase it directly from the factory. No middle man. The real deal. I'm here to tell ya, the old guy we worked with had to start up a machine that hadn't been used since the '60s! No lie! This is time machine stuff here people...and it makes a difference"

These amps are completely hand-built and designed  by a small crew of  people who put all their heart and passion into them, you can feel that right away when you crank one up. If you are looking for a vintage type of amp but reliable and affordable compared with an original vintage one, these might just be what you need. They come with a lifetime warranty to the 1st owner, that says a lot about how sure of their work Mark and his crew are.
