The Richie Kotzen Signature Heritage Series Combo - 50 watts of straight-up rock with reverb & tremolo.

This collaboration with Richie Kotzen is a rekindling of a long-standing friendship between the celebrated American rocker and Victory Amplification chief designer, Martin Kidd. There's a huge range of gain available from the single channel, including a footswitchable boost function. A single tone pot keeps it simple, while onboard reverb and tremolo give you ambience for days.

Combo comes with a Celestion G12M-65 Creamback speaker as standard. The M-65 version sounds a little sweeter at low/medium volumes than the H-75 Creamback and has a ‘woodier’, slightly more classic rock-ready sound and feel with overdriven sounds.

One of the earliest guitar effects, tremolo can add anything from a subtle throb to full-on metronomic staccato rhythm. Speaker damping works in the power section. Set it to ‘off’ for increased bass response and cabinet/speaker resonance. There’ll be more presence/high-end too.

You can run EL34 or 6L6 power valves. They offer subtly different tonal characteristics in terms of power stage overdrive and also overall frequency response.
