A fab little amp that really lets the guitars natural sound shine through. Wound up it sounds glorious and takes pedals so very well.
Had a couple over the years and like a fool, sold them on for supposedly better things.
Victoria 5112 - 1 knob that doubles as a power switch.
(Which made it odd that after I sold it the guy kept emailing me asking for my 'suggested settings' for various sounds.)
Been uploading old tracks I recorded ages ago and hopefully some new noodles here.
I have one permanently plugged in in the back of mine and it sounds fantastic, proper squishy, messy, fuzzed out tones which clean up beautifully from the guitar, especially on the 7w setting.
The variant I have is built from an Ampmaker kit, it loses the stuff related to the tremolo in the original but gains a power scaling knob, a selector switch for Single ended or Class B operation, and a (defeatable) added control for pulling the bass back a bit (mostly to stop things getting “flubby” when cranked up with humbuckers) - in use the extra bits are pretty much “set and forget” for a given situation at which point to all intents and purposes it plays like a two knob amp.
And it’s great!
I’m not particularly looking for another amp right now. It’s just that I have been really pleased with the 5E3 Extra (and with other ‘two-knob’ amps I’ve experienced) that that’s definitely the way I’d go if / when I feel the need for something else.
