Copper Deluxe gets a wide body combo version, complete with a 1x12” Celestion G12 Alnico Gold speaker.

The Compact Series VC35 The Copper was introduced in 2019 to critical acclaim. It was the first time Victory had entered four-EL84 territory for evocative, British-inspired, chiming pop and rock tones. The Heritage Series Deluxe combo just had to follow with a wide body combo in a 1x12 format.

Dial in chiming cleans through to heavy gain rock sounds all from one knob. It’s very interactive with the tone controls, then balance to taste with the master volume. A rotary pot and bass cut switch give you control to dial in anything from skinny British ’60s jangle to full and fat, modern boutique tones. The mid boost switch along with the mid rotary control helps deliver rich, vocal lead tones.

35 watts in full power is great for punch and headroom; 12 watts low power gives less volume, more compression and a different harmonic and dynamic response, albeit still loud enough for gigs!
