RJLII Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I was in Chicago this week on business and stopped by Victoria Amplifiers for a visit. Nice folks and sweet amps. Lots of tone toys to lust after. I see a Regal in my future. Mark Baier (owner) offering up a demo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJLII Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 Nice amps. Give me the old Fender head sitting on the Ampeg cab. That's a Dual Showman head he says he used for a bass amp. One that was very cool was the 4x10 combo with the maroon baffle. It's a proto that never went to production. Essentially a Bassman with added reverb and trem. It was a big soft sound, ideal for jazz or anything else that calls for civility of tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pressure Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Victoria is located in Naperville, quite a bit south of Chicago, in a very hard to find industrial park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gitfiddler Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Wow, I think I'd pass out like a little girl if they let me in that amplifier paradise! Always wanted to play with Victoria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJLII Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 Victoria make some killer amps! How long did you get to hang out and jam? I was there an hour or so. These were great people. Very jazzed about what they do, and equally jazzed that folks like us are also jazzed about what they do. Mark has the best job in the world. Like he says in the vid: "I can't think of anything I like to do better than to play the guitar, and this job lets me play as often and as loud as I want" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
