Victoria Amplifiers is a Chicago Based manufacturer that knows the benefit of handwiring amps using only the finest components. We use Victoria's to test out or Fender Custom Shop guitars since they are so transparent and really showcase the GUITAR, not the tone of the amp. If you are a fan of the Tweed sound: warm, rich clean tones or the classic 'brown' sound when cranked up, there is no company doing it better than Victoria. For players who must have Verb, there are the Regal, Victoriette and Victorilux which rival if not surpass that 'other' companies reverb that every body seems to love. Plug in and fall in love.

The narrow panel Deluxe has long been considered the consummate blues amp for small to medium-sized venues. It still is, but there seems to be even fewer good ones around and vintage prices reflect this. We build the 20112 right, and we can't build too many. This Victoria is a seminal tool for studio and club work, period. Please call 847-432-6350 or E-mail for pricing and availability.

Victoriette
- Wattage: 20
-
- 1-Jensen P12Q speaker or 2- Jensen P10R speakers.
- In 2001, I finally relented, and we began to build amps with reverb and tremolo. The response to the introduction of the Victoriette and Victorilux by our customers and reviewers has been overwhelming, but not merely because we know how to do reverb and trem. Granted, we researched many of the classic circuits, lifting some of Leo's genius from the brown and blackface era amps. But I also indulged in my long-standing appreciation for the EL84 power tube, which I felt had not been given proper attention by companies bent on simply knocking off a Vox. The Victoriette possesses the warmth and clean headroom of a blackface Deluxe, with the character, charm, and dynamic response of a Class A British amp, but it is a knockoff of nothing. You gotta hear it to appreciate its unique voice, which can be shaped by a wide variety of speaker configurations, including a 2x10 or 1x12 (my personal favorite). Players become instantly enamored with this amp. It will make you smile.
The Victorilux features the same basic circuit with a quad of EL84's, or alternatively, dual 6L6's with the option of a 3x10, 2x12, or 1x15 speaker configuration. This amp perfectly falls in between a blackface Deluxe Reverb and a Super Reverb. You get a higher threshold of clean headroom than a Deluxe, and more creamy smooth breakup at far lower decibel levels than a Super. We think this is a very good thing, and players seem to agree. Both of these amps display a remarkable ability to clean up with just a tick of the volume control on the guitar, and the circuit loves every type of pickup we've ever thrown at it.
Two cabinet configurations; 2x10 (HxWxD, Inches) 18.5 x 22 x 10.5; 1x12 (HxWxD, Inches) 18.5 x 22 x 10.5

Regal II
- Wattage: 35W
- Class A, cathode biased, dual single-ended design.Reverb and Tremolo.Tube complement:1-5U4GB, 2-5881, 3-12AX7, 1-12AT7
- 1-Weber Custom 15" AlNiCo speaker. Cabinet Dimensions (HxWxD, Inches) 20.5 x 10.5 x 22.5

- Victoria Amplifier Co. proudly announces the introduction of its new "Regal II" vacuum tube guitar amplifier.
A combo amp featuring reverb and tremolo, The Regal II is a pure, single-ended class A design that utilizes a new "Adaptive Transformer Technology" that allows for the use of one or two power tubes at the same time. Therefore, operating power is rated from 5 watts to 35 watts; and at 5 watts, it's a REAL 5 watts, not some squashed approximation of 5 watts.
The Regal II is designed around a custom bifilar output transformer that is essentially two discrete transformers driving a common speaker load. This allows for the use of any combination of common 8 pin power tubes - from a single 6V6 delivering 5 watts of pure class A power, to two EL-34's for 35 watts. And because each tube is relating to its own independent transformer winding and bias resistor, any combination of different tubes types can be auditioned. Whether it be a single 6V6 or 6L6GC or a combination of the two (yes that's right, a 6V6 and a 6L6GC at the same time) the Regal II never needs biasing or adjustments when changing tubes. This versatility is also extended to rectifier tubes; the Regal II can accept any common 5 Volt rectifier including 5Y3, 5V4, 5U4, and 5AR4 with no adjustments nessessary.
The Regal II is available in laquered tweed or vanilla tolex. WeberVST Custom AlNiCo 15" speaker standard, Eminence Legend 15" and Celestion Gold optional. Footswitchable, 100% tube-driven reverb and tremolo. 100% handwired with US-made Allen Bradley resistors and custom Victoria capacitors. Please call 847-432-6350 or E-mail for pricing and availability.

Electro King
- Wattage: 15 Watts
- Cathode bias design. Normal and Tremolo channels.
- Tube Complement: 2 - NOS 5879, 1 - NOS 6SQ7, 1 - 12AX7, 2 - 6V6, 1 - 5AR4
- 1 - Jensen P12Q alnico
- The Electro King is an idealized recreation of the classic McCarty era GA-40. Its circa 1957 circuit features two cathode biased 6V6s for 15watts of recording and small club power. The heart and soul of the Electro King is its 5879 preamp circuit; a single NOS 5879 input pentode for each of the normal and tremolo channels provides rich distortion and natural tube compression at any volume setting. Notes seem to be “blown” out of the amp with overdriven tones that are saturated, dynamic and musical. The Electro King is singularly suited to slide guitar styles with its expressive open tones. True to the original, the tremolo is accomplished with the aid of an NOS 6SQ7 oscillator tube and is a driver modulated volume style tremolo. Slim Harpo/Lonesome Sundown spoken here. The Electro King is fitted with a Jensen P12Q alnico speaker for true vintage tone. New Victoria
“Radio-lectric” logo and two tone tolex covering standard. Please call 847-432-6350 or E-mail for pricing and availability.

45410
- Wattage: 40 Watts
- 5F6A-type circuit.Class A-B adjustable fixed bias push-pull operation.
- Tube complement:1-5AR4, 2-6L6GC, 2-12AX7, 1-12AY7
- 4-Jensen P10R speakers.
- Cabinet Dimensions (HxWxD, Inches) 23.5 x 23.5 x 10.5
- This Victoria 45410 is our loving recreation of the '59 Bassman and no detail is left undone. Our Victoria capacitors were designed specifically to sound like a slightly degraded, 40 year-old cap. If you've ever wondered why expensive new "reissue" amps often sound cold and chiseled compared to their vintage counterparts, now you know. The 45410 is a complex, detailed, and dynamic amplifier that responds to pick attack like no other amp on the planet. It's also a rock solid bass amp for recording and club work. Please call 847-432-6350 or E-mail for pricing and availability.
