Victory Amps Unveils The MKX Lunchbox Head

Victory Amplification has launched the company’s new flagship compact amplifier - the MKX.

The MKX captures the heart and soul of Victory’s acclaimed MK Overdrive, released in 2024, in a compact and more competitively priced amplifier



Featuring three channels - Clean, OD1 & OD2, independent gain, volume and EQ sections, two master volumes, and two different reverb types each with level and decay controls, the MKX offers an extraordinary range of features into a 50 watt tube lunchbox head.

The MKX offers three channels as follows:

  • CLEAN CHANNEL: A bright, chiming clean sound with its own EQ, Gain and Level control. Ideal for everything from funky chord work, jazz standards and much more… Upper gain settings will give you ‘edge of breakup’ type sounds.
  • OD1 - THE CLASSIC VICTORY CRUNCH: With separate Clean and Overdrive channels, this overdrive channel offers two gain modes: Gain 1 for Crunch and Rhythm sounds, while Gain 2 provides full-on saturated overdrive.
  • OD2 - ALL THE LEAD TONES AND HIGH GAIN SOUNDS: Solos with instant sustain, the heaviest of riffs without sacrificing tone or definition. Standard tuning, drop tuning or anything else you want to throw at it. The OD2 channel has its own gain control and shares and EQ section and level control with the OD1 channel.

The MKX has 3 x ECC83 preamp tubes and 2 x EL34 output tubes. Its rear panel features include an FX Loop, bias points and more. The included footswitch allows for channel, OD1/2, Master 1/2, reverb.

For added flexibility, the MKX offers two Master Volumes activated by the included foot switch. The amp also features two on-board reverbs. Reverb I is a vintage classic spring-style reverb, ideal for all of those authentic tones. Reverb II is a modern reverb inspired by The Deputy, ranging from subtle ambiance to full shimmering immersion. Each Reverb type has a level and decay control allowing for the ultimate balance of ambience and versatility.

As with all other Victory Lunchbox heads, the switchable output gives you the option of different power output and character. For the MKX, high output is 50 watts RMS and Low output is 9 Watts RMS.

The Victory MKX carries a street price of $1699. For more information visit victoryamps.com.
