Would love to see you an in-depth JCM800 vs. DSL20HR comparison. By the way, the Victory sounds great. Tons of different tones, even just by tweaking the Presence knob alone.
Very cool demo!! I like that it has so many options. Also, I've got to say....I love that your bird is just chilling off to the side preening and just being cool!! I have a hawaiian zebra dove myself that I rescued so.....bird lovers unite!! Thanks again for an awesome video!! Aloha!!
Just got the Kraken preamp. This is insane, you can dial any high gain sound when coupled with a boost and an eq. This thing is like a dream. I'm already seriously thinking about upgrading to the true thing, not just only the preamp.
To me it’s an absolute monster. The gain 1 channel is a more refined and better sounding 800. Gain 2 is a super tight modern gain that sounds fantastic for loads of tones. Just a really versatile amp that hits like a truck
@@LambChopper678 My favorite channel is the first one, more defined and more sustain than a jcm 800, a pure gem. Your eq settings are very useful. I still have to find the sound of Petrucci on the first dream Theater albums, I have to experiment
I totally love your videos , keep going with the channel! Also an idea , maybe you like it.. To try out your followers presets of the katana, maybe you find some good things among the presets . And also giving your honest opinion on wether you like them or how to improve them :)
I have the vx100 super kraken and use it with the empress paraeq in the fx loop. I can find pretty much anything I need quickly and honestly there is no bad tone
anyone interested in the MK1 version of this amp, if you are metal its all you need, screw the clean channel its the only difference.....$999 on Sweetwater right now....thats a steal!
This is a great review by the way i have the vx100 super kraken its an invcredibly versatile amp and this sounds just as good i just hope they do a 100 watt version
This is very nice indeed.i was just looking at some victory amps the other day . But went a Peavey invective head and matching can and it's very good indeed.but man I would love this too.any one recommend so good tones I could get using my new Peavey?I'm looking for that lamb if god tone at the min.great video as always
Sorry, they did send it to me. I didn’t ask for it, I just got a message saying it’s in the mail. There’s no strings attached. After playing it I can honestly say I’d buy it in a heartbeat
How do you find it against the EVH 5150 you have there? I already had one but I want to try something different. Can the kraken mk II hang with the EVH?
Hows this against the mesa mark for things like Log tones and against your actual marshalls (jcm800 specifically)? Keen to see what else you get out of the kraken. Love that its got a proper clean now too and presence. Ive got a kraken mk 1 and love channel 1. Ive also always wanted the mesa boogie sound. I actually have a mesa triple recto sitting here at home for a week (its a mates) and damn does it have some thump in comparison to my kraken. Havent played something that big for a while ao had forgotten what a big big tube amp telt like. Definitely considering trading up my kraken to the mark 2 version though as it pretty much nails everything.
between this and any marshall, would u still choose the victory? Im a marshall fanboi and i wanna get my first tube amp, but i love this when i saw it come out, 9w option and way more versatile than a studio marshall for example and imho very similar sound something between a jcm800 and a silver jub due to the v6s. which is exactly what i want Its also my favorite amp in the quad cortex i have can you give me advice on this ? I want to play all type of genres, from clean stuff, to jazzblues to rock ( think greenday to slash) to more aggresive think drop c djenty drops. To me this amp really seem capapble of these, would u reccomend it over a marshall as an only amp ?
Oh man I hate these questions normally and I always answer with a butt at the end. My JCM800 is the greatest amp I’ve ever had until this. I’ve only had it a week but I’m confident to say it does everything you want and sounds punchy as hell. I’m going to be pushing it over the next while to see how far it goes. So far there hasn’t been a tone it can’t do and it responds to boosts and eq’s really well. It really is a cool amp man👌🏻 What other amp does puppets and slayer with no pedals..
I can imagine how hard it feels, like betrayed the jcm right hehe ? Thank you for the answer ! Yeah thats something I saw with the marshalls (which is normal cuz thats what they are made to do) u can get clean for days , and the best overdrive in the world until a certain overdrive level. After that its either max volume it or not enough. All this at probably too much volume ( maybe? ) Thats when new more modern( i hate the word modern lol ) boutqiue amps *might* do better than vintagey(real or inspired) amps can. Unless I can go to uk and try some this year, i maybeee bite the bullet myself and order something. So cool that it goes that over the top without pedals, what more to ask ? I thought about Kreg Koch's amp with like 3 channels and stuff but thats like 100watts only...shit way too many ;D@@LambChopper678
There’s a switch on the back that can make each master volume assigned to each channel or have 1 master vol for both. They really did think of everything with this amp.
I like the Kraken better than my 5150. It hits harder and I prefer the tone. That’s just my opinion and tone is pretty subjective. If you can you should take a drive to a guitar store and try one out first.
LOLZ @ Yellow pedal... amusing as... here i thought u were going to say big bird attacking lil bird during one of the solos, he was a bit nasty in the last vid!
@@LambChopper678 I have a cockatiel, did have a male but partner sat on it and killed him, so she bought me a new one thats a girl and doesnt sing Star Wars, so now i need another male. And a new partner who isnt a narcissist woman!. Haha. It is one of my fav things with your vids is to watch them, and the editing, one of them is on one side of the room, then nope the other, nope back to the other, LOL..
@@LambChopper678 it’s really that good? Trying to go for an exodus sound. I’d prefer no boost but I do have a Fortin 33 that’ll do the trick. Just want something that plugs straight in and sounds like Gary Holts modded Marshall.
I get the same channel 2 sound with my EVH 5150iii 6L6. I have some great pedals, one of them the kraken v4 preamp pedal. But after changing the v1 v2 and v5 preamps, I only use amp with EQ loop and EQ front on channel 2 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Haha, the 'Never Walk Alone' riff. Love it!
Would love to see you an in-depth JCM800 vs. DSL20HR comparison. By the way, the Victory sounds great. Tons of different tones, even just by tweaking the Presence knob alone.
Best demo of this amp to date.
What a great Demo. You really highlighted every aspects of the amp.
Fantastic demo mate! Your ability to cover and nail so many tones is amazing!
Very cool demo!! I like that it has so many options. Also, I've got to say....I love that your bird is just chilling off to the side preening and just being cool!! I have a hawaiian zebra dove myself that I rescued so.....bird lovers unite!! Thanks again for an awesome video!! Aloha!!
Glad to see a new post this early morning
Props for playing out some Annihilator… love the presence bite…
Came for the amp and the birds made me subscribe!
Holy shit that amp sounds sick! But your playing is so on point my man! Love the videos. Keep em coming!!!
Can’t wait to try one of these amps ,
I’ve been using the Kraken V4 preamp for a while and love it
Awesome demo...I would buy it but I have the PRS MT100 on order it should be out in a few weeks
I've got my eye on the MT100!
Annihilator riff - props!
Stunning demonstration of this amp. Covers so many bases.
P.S: That black pedal on the pre-board is still minimally crooked 😄
I love your Slayer tone.

Maybe show front panel on future videos

no presence control on mk 1 but an eq can bring the missing presence knob
no resonance knob on either I don't think@@philfort7886
@@philfort7886Que Bec or Titan pedal would work great
It's not the only difference, there's a few differences that really make the mk2 worth buying over the original
And most metal still has clean parts thrown in the mix. Always a plus when a high gain amp actually has a great clean which this one def does
This is a great review by the way i have the vx100 super kraken its an invcredibly versatile amp and this sounds just as good i just hope they do a 100 watt version
Beautiful plumage mate!
Allison Hell is killer!!!! Nice choice!!!!
Awesome demo!
I would love to see you test some of the Synergy preamps especially the IICP
Your setup sounds so good. I struggle with feedback when I try to get that kind of tone and I hate how a noise gate sounds when it cuts off the sound.
Good video Lamb but unfortunately I’ll never be able to forgive you for that crooked boss pedal.
Don't be sorry for mistakes
You're just a man , not robot
Keep on going good show 🙂🙂🙂😀😀😀
Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Annihilator !!! Thats how you demo à high gain amp ! Cheers from Morocco
great content!!!
I was kind of curious .. who is one of your biggest Idols or influences on guitar? Thanks for raising my interest in this product. Great video mate
Oh man I have loads, I’d have to say Dave Mustaine and James Hetfield
Cool but.... I was expecting the Silver Jub 😭
Cheers from Portugal 🤘🍺🇵🇹
My favorite part was going from Slayer to Miracle Man! Would like to see a video with some Mastodon riffs. Hope you're doing well!
Awesome!
Great pedal placement man 😂
Nice tone! Do you like this over the DSL20?
Crunchy 🤘🤘
Interesting you put compression in the effects loop? Never tried that. I always put in the front of the chain before distortion pedals
7:50 Alison hell!!!!
You don’t a need to have separate eqs on this for clean/gain 1 and gain 2?
Sounds great. How are you feeding the side chain input on the Zuul?
The zuul+ has its own key in and through feature so you just connect your guitar and it sends out the signal to pedals for the front end
This is very nice indeed.i was just looking at some victory amps the other day . But went a Peavey invective head and matching can and it's very good indeed.but man I would love this too.any one recommend so good tones I could get using my new Peavey?I'm looking for that lamb if god tone at the min.great video as always
The apology followed by the sigh 😂😂😂
I didn't realise this version doesn't have MIDI like the first one!
Did they send you this? I missed that part. Great amp either way.
Sorry, they did send it to me. I didn’t ask for it, I just got a message saying it’s in the mail. There’s no strings attached. After playing it I can honestly say I’d buy it in a heartbeat
@@LambChopper678 I was a big fan as well, thanks for clarifying choppers. Were all glad to see companies giving you some recognition.
Did people actually moan the pedal was crooked?😂
I had to go see the crooked pedal in the other video and get back on this one 🤣
How do you find it against the EVH 5150 you have there? I already had one but I want to try something different. Can the kraken mk II hang with the EVH?
Is it a custom made Les paul? looks sick
nice demo nice tones again, can you do metallica death magnetic tone video please
Damn those crooked boss sd1!!!😂

It’s an awesome amp man, I’ll be pushing it as far as I can. I think it’ll be in loads of videos
v nice, has this got 6L6 valves or EL34s?
6L6, I’ll try the 34’s at some point
I like the Bird

they seem like cool amps, very Marshally. The only thing i dislike is the power switch being on the back of the amp.
You are right with some 5150 as well. ❤
Ola said he’d have liked the Presence of they made it 7k hertz 😎🤘🏻
Is this 6l6 valves
The master volume II looks like it’s all the off. Is that the volume for channel 2?
There’s a switch on the back that can make each master volume assigned to each channel or have 1 master vol for both.
They really did think of everything with this amp.
@@LambChopper678 wow I’m sold
I think it sounds better without any compression
I was thinking of getting rid of my 5150 stealth 50w for this. What do you think?

How do you like it all in all? Would you recommend buying one?
So far it’s 1 amp that can do all my amps. I’ll be using it loads over the next while. To me it’s the amp I’ve been looking for since the DSL
Sounds great man nice demo 🤟🏻
How’s it compare to the EVH? Looking at the 50w stealth
I know they’re based upon separate styles of gain but which one feels tighter?
The Kraken is better, tighter and more punch
@@LambChopper678 it’s really that good? Trying to go for an exodus sound. I’d prefer no boost but I do have a Fortin 33 that’ll do the trick. Just want something that plugs straight in and sounds like Gary Holts modded Marshall.
im so wanna get this already asoon it came out but some review says its very noisy, is it? im just 1 step away of getting it. lol
No it’s not noisy, great amp
Channel 2 is instant Metallica tone!
Could use some more bottom end thump.
The two seperate Footswitches are kinda strange and still, having so many features on the back, midi is nowhere to be found.
🙂🙂🙂👍👍👍
Sound f... goog
This amp is toite!
@lambchopper678 if you could trade a DSL20 for one of these would you?
In a heartbeat! The power in the kraken is impressive
Man that sounds so fizzy! Was this through a cab or your headphone speakers?
I get the same channel 2 sound with my EVH 5150iii 6L6. I have some great pedals, one of them the kraken v4 preamp pedal. But after changing the v1 v2 and v5 preamps, I only use amp with EQ loop and EQ front on channel 2 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Did someone seriously complain about your boss pedal being crooked?
Anderton Amplification
Brought to you by LEE and BEA!
Crikey, I wonder how much this amp will be... the last one was close to $3k aud... ridiculous...
I’ve just looked and it will be around 2800 AUD so yeah… not cheap haha But I think it’ll be worth it though.
Somehow seems much darker…. Not a fan
Crooked pedals.......that's a definite dislike and unsubscribing
Can it Dimebag??
Yep really well with pq3 and mxr 6
