smokedtires Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Saw these today at a local mom and pop shop. Told them I will be back to try these out one day with cash in hand. One Victory and two Britons. The Bogner is a Shiva. Wish I could take each of them!
Steiner Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 That is one well-stocked shop! I'd drool over any if them.
Gitfiddler Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 Those look like the NOS Heritage amps Beat Street Music has had for sale for years. http://www.gbase.com/stores/beat-street-music-co/inventory?gs=y&pageindex=1&pagesize=30&sf0=12&sd0=1&dealerid=f0a3f438-779e-4583-866a-626b7a836d6e&f2=2&f3=2&f4=2&keyword=heritage%20amp
smokedtires Posted August 14, 2014 Author Posted August 14, 2014 Gitfiddler you are correct! Any idea why the Victory 1x12 is more $ than the Briton 2x12?
Gitfiddler Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 Gitfiddler you are correct! Any idea why the Victory 1x12 is more $ than the Briton 2x12? Sorry, no idea. But it could be the difference of how much he has into the amp. I bet the seller will work with you if truly interested in either. Good hunting!
hinesarchtop Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 They're great amplifiers. I have a Victory and a Colonial head. Love the external bias ports! I
212Mavguy Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 ...well built and great sounding no-frills boutique amps with practical feature sets.
smokedtires Posted August 16, 2014 Author Posted August 16, 2014 I bought my H140 from him about 10 years ago. He doesn't move much with his prices but hopefully if things go right I'll be able to make an offer sometime next week.
hinesarchtop Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 The nice thing about the Victory, which is basically a spin off of a Deluxe reverb is that it doesn't get flubby in the bottom end when cranked up a bit. It actually has a very full bottom end like most of the Heritage amps. I swapped the 6v6's for el34's and it is just a beast now. I can get killer rock tones with a L.P. style guitar, or a Strat. I recently discovered that with my Tele running through my Echoplex into the Victory is THE BEST tele tones I've ever achieved.

Please tell us more about the 'beast' quality in your el34 tubed Victory. Mine is a head version (non-reverb) with the stock 6v6 set up and it growls like an angry Deluxe with tons of headroom and a huge bottom end.
