If you’re still shopping for amp bargains, this deal on a Victory Amplification’s V40 Deluxe deserves a look. Right now, you can save $600 on Sweetwater’s exclusive Special Edition tweed version. That's a 25% savings, bringing the price down to $1,799.

There’s a reason accomplished guitarists like Richie Kotzen, Guthrie Govan and Isaiah Sharkey use Victory amplifiers. Founded by chief designer Martin Kidd (of Cornford amplifiers fame), the U.K. brand hand-builds these colorful, distinctively voiced amps, offering them as combos, classic big-box heads and compact portable lunchbox amps. Onstage or in the studio, Victory sound great and prove themselves reliable and roadworthy.

Chris Buck and Ariel Posen are longtime fans of the Victory V40 Deluxe The Duchess. No doubt they enjoy its versatile design that delivers American and British tone options. Sweetwater's exclusive Tweed edition gives you all the same features as the original, with brown leather and tweed styling that recalls the vintage amps of America's classic era.

Victory Amplification V40 Deluxe The Duchess 40-watt Special Edition head

The V40 Deluxe The Duchess demonstrates the versatility Victory has become known for. It’s a 40-watt tube amp with a split personality that channels the laid-back spirit and sound of classic American combo amps, but can also confidently churn out the aggressive crunch of vintage British tube heads. It does it all from a single channel, thanks to the V40 Deluxe’s unique voice switch. Three tone controls and a Mid Kick feature give you complete control over your sound. And like many U.S. amps, the V40 Deluxe comes equipped with a tube-driven tremolo and spring reverb for that classic drip that’s perfect for surf, country, psychedelic and more. There’s also a hard-bypassable effects loop on tap for integrating your favorite time-based and modulation effects. What more could you ask for — besides an additional $600 off?
