Frequently Bought Together
The Duchess is a powerful, ultra compact amplifier. It has four valves in the front end, 180-watt power section, reverb and tremolo. Now it has been updated to include Two notes audio engineering Torpedo-embedded DynIR Virtual Cabinet technology, headphone out and our Valve Response Circuit VRC (™) technology.
The Duchess is all about vintage-style American cleans and British break-up. It’s a single channel amp perfect on a small cab or desktop, or for touring musicians who need a great-sounding, dependable pedal platform amp.
Volume & Master
Balance the front end preamp gain with the overall volume output. It will overdrive in the preamp slightly should you want that, but the main goal is higher-headroom tones and power.
Three-Band EQ
Powerful bass, middle and treble controls to shape your tone. These also have an effect on the gain character and drive levels – just like in any valve guitar amp.
Reverb
Lush sounding digital reverb gives you ambience aplenty. Run it low for a subtle feeling of space, or max it out for washy, splashy hugeness!
Tremolo
From slow and pulsing to fast and staccato, we’re suckers one of the oldest effects in the book.Turn it on/off on the chassis, or remotely.
Series Effects Loop
Sits between the preamp and power amp. Run your time-based effects here for maximum clarity.
Two notes Technology
Two notes Audio engineering Torpedo-embedded DynIR Virtual Cabinet technology is onboard the Duchess. The Cab Sim XLR makes it super easy to take you Victory virtual cabinets anywhere. The presets have been created by Pete Honore for the Duchess.
The Two notes Cab sim signal can be routed to the line out and XLR or just the XLR.
Balanced Line Out and Headphone Out
Send a direct feed to a separate speaker simulator, front of house or wherever you like. Can be used with or without a speaker connected. The inbuilt headphone output makes silent practice quick and easy.
9V DC Power Output
Want to power some extra pedals and stick this on your board? We’ve included a 9V DC centre-negative output that will put out a maximum of 500mA. This is more than enough for the vast majority of drives, fuzzes and analogue delays and so on.
