Great review of the amps. This has been the exact opposite of the Chappers and Captain video. Comprehensive and musically varied, few stones left unturned. Great work!
Hello, The Tone King Royalist and the Victory sheriff seems to be in the same sounds. Is the difference in price justified? The sherrif can compete in the quality of its sounds. Sorry for my English ...
Just me but I found Mick too much taking over in this video - give Pete his clean sound already, he's one of the best clean players around. Would've liked to hear Pete with a Strat into the V22...
I want the sheriff 44, but the 1x12 isnt wide enough to hold the head. will they make a 1x12 with a creamback 75 heavy mag for me that will hold the 44? :D
not sure who's mixing the audio but if you can boost up when there talking so I don't wake the neighborhood when they start playing it would be appreciated. thank you from california.
Vice Squad Lol. An endorsed artist is going to Guitar Paradiso on Anderson’s TV to figure out which amp they want? Or in the real world Victory would send said endorsed artist a bunch of gear and work with them to get them to where they want to be tone and gear-wise.
James M how wrong you are.... Victory don't have the facility to send out 6 or more amp heads and then pay to have the ones not chosen returned. What ACTUALLY happens is the artist either visits the factory OR goes to a local dealer and tries the amps there!!! You may think you know it all, but you haven't a clue mate. I have had my Victory Sheriff 44 for a couple of years now, it was sent to me as an artist sponsorship and I have used it on a couple of albums. I made the right choice by simply making an informed decision. 😊
Vice Squad it sounds like that was just your experience. A traditional endorsement is a business arrangement that yields a commercial return for the sponsor, often through image association, and in exchange provides cash or other benefit to the artist. It doesn’t have to take 6 amps and if the sponsor is unwilling to send a couple amps on loan then perhaps we’re using the term endorsement rather loosely.
James M so, what is your point? What EXACTLY is of concern about my initial comment that is prompting you to take time out of your busy day to engage in dialogue with me? I am genuinely intrigued... let's start by you telling me a little about you... Who are you? What's your band and/or employment situation? Are you an amp or instrument manufacturer? Thanks
Great video thanks guys, but is not the gain a bit loose for a Marshal based amp? My 80' Plexi is way more tight even with much less gain. The higher watt one specifically sounds like those Class A vintage amps somehow? It has a fuzziness to it for some reason. Maybe its because of recording but I don't hear much Marshal sound here to be honest.
Great video again! Can I ask when the video of Blues Jr Tweed vs Bluesbreaker 15 is coming out? I saw a picture posted on Instagram a while back. I'm waiting for it before I make the purchase of my new amp and Fender American Special Strat!
Great video again, but the sound mix was bad this time. Mick and Pete were so quiet, that I constantly needed to adjust the volume between talking and playing.
I am looking for some hendrix sounds to play at home. The 22 seems cleaner and does not break so easily into distortion. If you had an attenuator which amp would you choose? I have a bugera PS1
Every single tone coming out of the Sheriff 22 sounds AMAZING! Different guitars just seem to sound uniquely dynamic while never loosing the character of the instrument. Thanks for yet another amazing demonstration! Let the penny pinching and gear sell off begin... I want that amp!
Ok, it's about tone(age), and it is great to see you guys do your stuff, but a little more visuals of the amps would benefit most of the Anderton's universe videos, I think.
24:35 wow, I was looking for a US dealer for the 22 after that Fuzz > Univibe > 22 bit by Mick, then Pete took a turn with the Gristle King > 44 and the Reverend...what do I do now, buy both? Fantastic playing guys, I could watch these all day.
Hey Brian, you won't be sorry with either! Main reason for buying the 44 would be if you wanted plenty of clean(ish) headroom. 22 has more than you'd imagine, but obviously not as much as the 44. The 22 is loud enough for pretty much anything I do these days, but I still like the big transformer/EL34 thing that the 44 does. Cheers!
I bought two, on both there was an issue where the effects loop has a loud hum no matter how I wired it, powered it or what was in the loop. I realized that when one of the cables passed near the transformer(?) on the left side looking at the back the hum got more pronounced. After looking on line seems to be a common enough issue to raise eyebrows. They need to rework the shielding of the transformer at least on the two out of two models I had in my possession. Pedals sounded fine going in the front of the amp, but then why pay for a defective effects loop?
Damn right... Mick is a animal! Sure seems like his playing has gotten a bit better since he has been on Anderton Television regularly. What cha say there Mick?
I think I'm playing more regularly, and there's no doubt that hanging out with Pete will make anyone better, or at least more confident to do stuff. I always used to rein it right in on video, but now I care less about messing up. People are very kind in the main. Thanks for the kind words guys!
Lovin' the videos guys, but the dialogue could use a volume boost IMO. I have to ride the volume level for the whole who as I flip between having a hard time hearing you gents talk, and turning it down so my ear drums don't shatter over the sound of those lovely amps. Regardless, thank for all you do, and the awesome vids!
You really should check out the G&L Fallout first; though you would have to ask whether they would install the PTB tone circuit for you (G&L's US production is effectively a custom shop).
Driving that Scratched Strat like Trower... of course the amp is great but a few foot switches and wow! All respect to the operators talents of course.
Is it just med or are they kind of grainy and fizzy in the top end and gain structure? It sounds they same in both That Pedal Show and the Anderton's videos. Great episode once again, though!
They're really interesting amps. Most of the folklore and legend attached to them is when they've been heard in the hands of Hendrix, Clapton, Page, Van Halen and so on. When you've got them wound up to near full (or attenuated and on full blast), a lot of the way the amp compressed and drives means all that extra top and presence is really useful for note definition, but it can be very eye-popping and glassy at lower volumes. As you might know there are two channels that you can mix on JTM45s, 50- and 100-watt Super Leads, so having more of the 'normal' channel can tame it a bit. But the magic comes when they're cranked in both channels, and that's borderline impossible these days. With a lot of amps, it can often be the case that much of that visceral delivery and sound is kind of evened out/made nice so they sound 'good' at low volume, not least in music stores. But in my opinion a lot of those amps then can sound a bit lifeless when you crank them. It's all subjective and personal taste of course. Most of us want the sound and vibe of those old amps, but with fewer of the compromises and practicality issues that goes with them. All amp manufacturers approach that task differently. Cheers!
Howsa bout you guys do "here's how you play this". there's so many traffic riffs/licks coming out of the demos. Ask your captain eh? ps I'm watching in sunglasses with those shirts.
Not noob. Too many guitars in the world to know all. It's a Reverend Double Agent 3 in Chronic Blue. Reverend makes some really great guitars in the 749 to 1200 dollar range. Mine was 820 dollars.
+Todesnuss I thought Plexi was just a catch-all term for 60s Marshall. Jimi used a JMP and an SL and he's usually described as having a plexi tone too.
Todesnuss They are completely different amps. Different valves, different circuits, different power. Where did you get the idea that it's just different names??
Mickey, if you read this would you be kind enough to let us know what is that silicon fuzz you used to get that epic and iconic Strat tone ? :-) TY in advance, cheers mate !
Great review of the amps. This has been the exact opposite of the Chappers and Captain video. Comprehensive and musically varied, few stones left unturned. Great work!
Someone made the "Jesus, those shirts are louder than the amps" gag yet?
nah that one's yours
I might have seen it a "few times" on some of our other videos... :).. P
Stop with these videos. I haven't wanted an amp so unreasonably bad in a long time.
don't watch the video's then
Any chance of a Victory lunchbox shoot out? V30 vs V40 vs Sheriff vs Kraken.
Those a very different amps, which could be ranked with regard to gain thusly: V40 > Sheriff 22 > V30 > Kraken.
im on the fence between a sheriff22 and v30. id love to get an ab with those bad boys
Is it just me or does Pete seem like he's always got a buzz on like he's had a few lol. I mean he just seems like such a joyful carefree person lol.
Hahaha! Pete is among the most genuinely enthusiastic and always-on people I've ever met. If you're ever feeling down, hang out with Peter!
He's danish.. We have always just had a few.. ;)
talking needs to be boosted a bit.
With TS 9, I I guess :)
Hello,
The Tone King Royalist and the Victory sheriff seems to be in the same

wutnot The Zilla Compact would do the job
Sweet Jesus in a Jacuzzi,
That tone from the Fuzz > Univibe > Vic 22 just totally flicked my bean and left me wet 'n wanting...
I count at least three utterances of "Nothing wrong with that" in this video. Is this a Guitar Paradiso record?! ;-)
Pete has a new haircut, looks good. I dont know why, but reminds me a bit of grease lightning.
not sure who's mixing the audio but if you can boost up when there talking so I don't wake the neighborhood when they start playing it would be appreciated. thank you from california.
holy fuck that intro jam D:
The 50 sounds like it has about twice the low end of the smaller one. Much better.
great demo guys im surprise but to my ears n taste i like the 22 better they really have a diff tone
I have just landed an artist endorsement with Victory Amps and this video helped me decide on what is most suitable for me.. THE 44 ;-) THANKS X
awesome man! im envious
Vice Squad Lol. An endorsed artist is going to Guitar Paradiso on Anderson’s TV to figure out which amp they want? Or in the real world Victory would send said endorsed artist a bunch of gear and work with them to get them to where they want to be tone and gear-wise.

Who are you?
What's your band and/or employment situation?
Are you an amp or instrument manufacturer?
Thanks
Dang guys. Now I have to add the 22 to my Victory decision. (wanted gig+bedroom so was debating Kraken vs. BD1/RD1.) :)
Great video thanks guys, but is not the gain a bit loose for a Marshal based amp? My 80' Plexi is way more tight even with much less gain. The higher watt one specifically sounds like those Class A vintage amps somehow? It has a fuzziness to it for some reason. Maybe its because of recording but I don't hear much Marshal sound here to be honest.
The 44 wins IMO. Its all about that Cathode switch on the back. It makes it come alive.
Great video again! Can I ask when the video of Blues Jr Tweed vs Bluesbreaker 15 is coming out? I saw a picture posted on Instagram a while back. I'm waiting for it before I make the purchase of my new amp and Fender American Special Strat!
Super demo. Don't khow how it sounded in the room, but out here in youtube land, the 22 was the winner. Thanks, guys.
Agree!
Great video again, but the sound mix was bad this time. Mick and Pete were so quiet, that I constantly needed to adjust the volume between talking and playing.
25:00 Robin Trower tones for days... OMG that sounded fantastic!
What Danish Pete plays in the intro is almost exactly a song by the spanish band Obús. It's called "vamos muy bien"
Man, I thought I had put mysefl over my Reverend cravings. But nope. This vid brought the GAS right back.
I am looking for some hendrix sounds to play at home. The 22 seems cleaner and does not break so easily into distortion. If you had an attenuator which amp would you choose? I have a bugera PS1
Is there anychance andertons is going to deal Dr.Z amps one day. I deeply believe they are one of te most astonishing boutique amps on the market.
I prefer the BD1 for plexi tones really. I don't really care for these.
So I now challenge you Mick..
Amp and pedalboard over the one shoulder, cap+guitar on the other :) Can't wait to see that :D
VICTORY HATES COMBOS!
Question for Pete; forgive me for asking, but what's that watch you're wearing?
Every single tone coming out of the Sheriff 22 sounds AMAZING! Different guitars just seem to sound uniquely dynamic while never loosing the character of the instrument. Thanks for yet another amazing demonstration! Let the penny pinching and gear sell off begin... I want that amp!
Ok, it's about tone(age), and it is great to see you guys do your stuff, but a little more visuals of the amps would benefit most of the Anderton's universe videos, I think.
My kind of amp, I think Pete is one of the greatest most tasteful creative players in the world
that sheriff 44 has so much low end! naah, needed the reverend's bass rolloff.... wonder....
Nice touch response on his stuff Play lightly and they are clean Dig in and they roar Gonna look into one of his amps Good stuff
holy shit that fuzz and univibe sound epic through the 22
i watched that part 3 times before I finished the video
i dont know if its the cab and speakers, but i am liking the 22 better
The Victory heads are Killer!!! I better get saving...
Am I the only one who thougth they were gonna play The Cult in the begining?
Great playing as usual. Would love to hear one of these vs a J Rockett .45 caliber running into a V40.
Will you guys ever do any videos with the Quilter amps?
Thanks!
I still watch these older videos. Great playing. And good amp knowledge with cool guitars.
Look/sound like great amps. Nice demo. Thank you : -)
where can I buy that 3tsb stratocaster?
I am getting pretty interested in these from what I've seen so far. How would you compare the Sheriff 44 & V40 Deluxe? Thank you.
Dave Diamond Sheriff for Marshall, V40 Deluxe for Fender.
those Reverend guitars are growing on me, I want one with my Sheriff 44
24:35 wow, I was looking for a US dealer for the 22 after that Fuzz > Univibe > 22 bit by Mick, then Pete took a turn with the Gristle King > 44 and the Reverend...what do I do now, buy both?
Fantastic playing guys, I could watch these all day.
Hey Brian, you won't be sorry with either! Main reason for buying the 44 would be if you wanted plenty of clean(ish) headroom. 22 has more than you'd imagine, but obviously not as much as the 44. The 22 is loud enough for pretty much anything I do these days, but I still like the big transformer/EL34 thing that the 44 does. Cheers!
Hey, where can I buy that shirt, I what to play better to.
Nice. Very nice. I've still got my eye on a Fender Bassbreaker 15 though.
Shielding issues on the Bassbreaker 15, wait until they fix it.
+Benjamin Lebofsky can you elaborate?
I bought two, on both there was an issue where the effects loop has a loud hum no matter how I wired it, powered it or what was in the loop. I realized that when one of the cables passed near the transformer(?) on the left side looking at the back the hum got more pronounced.

Pedals sounded fine going in the front of the amp, but then why pay for a defective effects loop?
Awesome guys! Can you do a show with finding some tube / driver pedals that actually work very well in front of the Sheriff 44?
Al Nesbitt EQD Dunes.
Mick has some awesome licks!
Damn right... Mick is a animal! Sure seems like his playing has gotten a bit better since he has been on Anderton Television regularly. What cha say there Mick?
I think I'm playing more regularly, and there's no doubt that hanging out with Pete will make anyone better, or at least more confident to do stuff. I always used to rein it right in on video, but now I care less about messing up. People are very kind in the main. Thanks for the kind words guys!
Tasty Plexi Goodness..
Love that Reverend Guitar. I have to get one soon !!
I sat through that waiting for a great outro jam. Where did it go??
I would kill for those shirts you wear guys :D
Mick channeling a vibey hendrix is special
What pedals were used?
P90s FTW. That is all.
The reliced strat isn't on the website, is it sold already...
I am going to save and buy one of these next year.
The Andertones
wishing the jam was a bit longer.
Guys you need to try Laboga amps!
Dude nice and tasteful leads in the intro
Lovin' the videos guys, but the dialogue could use a volume boost IMO. I have to ride the volume level for the whole who as I flip between having a hard time hearing you gents talk, and turning it down so my ear drums don't shatter over the sound of those lovely amps. Regardless, thank for all you do, and the awesome vids!
Homeboys can play, son
I can see someone getting a great Ac/dc tone
Best opening jam
These guys are great
Great guitar work Mick:-)
Great intro...
What guitar is pete playing? it's fabulous
www.reverendguitars.com/
Andertons made a video about it and it's up already!
Reverend Double Agent 3 in Chronic Blue.
Reverend.... Double Agent, AWESOME thing... Might even get one :). P
You really should check out the G&L Fallout first; though you would have to ask whether they would install the PTB tone circuit for you (G&L's US production is effectively a custom shop).
That 335!
Give me some more love he says to the guy in the pink flamingo shirt ooeerrrr xD
It is a great shirt though isn't it :). Makes me play much better :). P
Haha its lovely Pete 😁 and if you feel it helps then all the better! 😃
24:35
So glad to be playing through a Sheriff 22 and a V30 Cab as my main now. Just a couple of pedals needed now.
So channel 1 is JTM45, channel 2 is JCM800?
Driving that Scratched Strat like Trower... of course the amp is great but a few foot switches and wow! All respect to the operators talents of course.
VH on a 335 lol. Nice Mick! :D
Cheers! It's always surprising what comes out... :0)
one silly question does it have sparkly cleans like fender amp and drive like marshall?
25:13 Sweet fucking Christ that sounds amazing.
that 44 holy shit
The 22 sounds loads better than the 44 with the strat.
Guess that's another one on my list!
OH BOY, Mick on Anderson’s! 👏⚡️
Does the 22 have a clean and dirty?
Not sure but I liked the 22 better. The reverend has a great tone.
26:55 : *Uh oh, that needs tweaking*
13:21 😆😆
Is it just med or are they kind of grainy and fizzy in the top end and gain structure? It sounds they same in both That Pedal Show and the Anderton's videos.
Great episode once again, though!
Ever played a 50 or 100 watt Plexi? They definitely have that sizzle. You can dial it back a lot with the presence pot too. We like the sizzle!
+Mick Taylor I must admit that I have never tried an original plexi. But I take your word for it!
They're really interesting amps. Most of the folklore and legend attached to them is when they've been heard in the hands of Hendrix, Clapton, Page, Van Halen and so on.
When you've got them wound up to near full (or attenuated and on full blast), a lot of the way the amp compressed and drives means all that extra top and presence is really useful for note definition, but it can be very eye-popping and glassy at lower volumes.

Guys! you need to make a baritone shootout of somesort!
The Sheriff 44 is the best amp I've ever own and I've owned quite a few trough the years .!
Ivo Stan are you still happy with it?
Yes dough the RK50 is another Victory amp i want badly
Howsa bout you guys do "here's how you play this". there's so many traffic riffs/licks coming out of the demos. Ask your captain eh? ps I'm watching in sunglasses with those shirts.
Or maybe threaten them with our mafia contacts?? Or yours as I don't have any...Ho Ho.
I wanted to go to andertons, channel, not to that pedal show xdddd
Pete's guitar is gorgeous. Humbucker/P90 for the win
It's a really fun guitar. I own one in the exact color here.
cour1988
Noob question, but what guitar is it?
+A1r80rn3 It's a Reverend, can't remember the model but Andertons recently made a video on them, you should check it out!
Not noob. Too many guitars in the world to know all. It's a Reverend Double Agent 3 in Chronic Blue. Reverend makes some really great guitars in the 749 to 1200 dollar range. Mine was 820 dollars.
They also make the Double Agent OG which means it has the stop tail piece like a Les Paul instead of the Wilkinson Trem system.
Maybe I misunderstand these amps, but it sounds way too bright for JTM45 tones. Like in Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits.
its no jtm 45, its plexi tone.
Plexi is what the JTM 45 were called though.
+Todesnuss I thought Plexi was just a catch-all term for 60s Marshall. Jimi used a JMP and an SL and he's usually described as having a plexi tone too.
Matt Johnson JMP is the later name of the plexis.
Todesnuss They are completely different amps. Different valves, different circuits, different power. Where did you get the idea that it's just different names??
Mickey, if you read this would you be kind enough to let us know what is that silicon fuzz you used to get that epic and iconic Strat tone ? :-)
TY in advance, cheers mate !
Good demo .. but it could have been so much better if Mick had done all the playing and Pete had stayed in bed.
not the best chemistry between these two guys
Surely you're joking?
