Since Victory Amplification first launched the Duchess Amp in 2014, it has become one of our best-loved & best selling ranges. Its dynamic tone and simple layout have made it a favourite among guitarists seeking an amplifier they can make their own. The Duchess series has also been widely embraced by high-profile artists including Chris Buck, Isaiah Sharkey, James Bay, and many more.
In 2024 Victory launched the MK Clean Amplifier - the ultimate hand wired single channel clean guitar amp - and we are excited to announce that we have managed to incorporate some of the things we learnt during the MK Clean design process into an updated version of the Duchess range - welcome to The Duchess MKII range.
NEW / THREE WAY VOICE SWITCH
Extra tonal flexibility can now be achieved with a new 3 way voice switch enabling you to accommodate any pickup type or playing style. Each successive selection allows greater lower mid-range frequency content through the treble control.
NEW / THREE WAY MID KICK
This popular feature from the original Duchess range has been expanded to include three stages of dynamic midrange shaping:
• Position I: Stock response
• Position II: Increased lower midrange
• Position III: Additional gain in the upper midrange
NEW / COSMETICS
We’ve given the front panel an overhaul too, which includes a more streamlined look along with our new Victory logo, first seen on the MK Series.
NEW / TWO DIGITAL REVERB CHOICES
Two distinct digital reverb types are now available via the front panel:
• Vintage: Classic spring-style reverb, ideal for the Duchess’ tonal character
• Modern: A new reverb type inspired by The Deputy, ranging from subtle ambiance to full shimmering immersion
Both reverb types include Level and Dwell controls and are footswitchable (footswitch included).
