UP!

Lou didn't date a lot of his amps, so getting a year could prove difficult no matter where you find one. I've owned 7 of Lou's amps and only 2 had dates.

I'm selling my lacquered tweed (not the lighter non-laquered version) Victoria 518 amp in excellent plus condition, I doubt you'll find a cleaner one. I've done 2 wonderful mods that really add versatility to the sounds available or it can be completely stock if you choose. The mods are totally...

One of the best amps ever made. Period!

Great to hear. You should change your title from FS to SOLD now so it can be archived.

They were to correct the issues that you mentioned. The amp was way too muddy, had no punch and not nearly as much gain as my 518 and 5112. Now it sounds really nice clean and overdriven.

I added a negative feedback pot and a 3-way bright switch to my VV and it completely transformed the amp. Took me all of 30 minutes. Being able to fully adjust the negative feedback and the ability to switch between 2 bright caps or none has turned my VV into a killer amp. So much versatility.

I've had all the handwired Champ clones over the years (including the 5112) and I haven't found a better pure Champ than the Victoria 518. The 5112 sounded bigger and not by much, but that 8 inch speaker is part of the Champ magic. I can jump it into any of my 8 ohm cabinets if I need to, but I...

Great amp and a great price guys. I've played this one, it's really sweet. If I weren't trying to downsize, it would be mine.

Great price on a phenomenal amp. How is this not sold?

I added a nice 3-way bright switch to mine and now I get all the beautiful chime you could ever ask for. I keep the tone switch on 4 or 5, roll back the cut knob and engage my choice of bright caps. The perfect amp now.

UP!

I had one of these for years, killer amp. Great deal!!!
