Victory Amplification Launches the Deputy Lunchbox Head

Big Tone in a Compact Package

Victory Amplification proudly announces the newest evolution in the acclaimed Deputy Series — The Deputy Lunchbox Head. Following the success of the original Deputy Compact Head launched in January 2024, this latest release brings all the beloved features of the original into Victory’s iconic Lunchbox format.

A collaboration between Victory and guitarist Peter Honore — better known as Danish Pete — the Deputy line has captured the attention of tone purists and professional players alike. Garnering prestigious accolades including Guitarist Magazine’s “Choice” and Premier Guitar’s “Premier Gear” awards, the Deputy series has already proven itself in the real world.

“Partnered with a decent Stratocaster, it’s sonic dynamite that can cover Hendrix, SRV, John Mayer and many more.” – Guitarist Magazine

Small Size, Serious Versatility

Hand-built in the UK using premium components, the Deputy Lunchbox Head offers 25 watts of rich, dynamic valve tone powered by 2 x EL86s (with the option to use EL84s). Encased in Victory’s rugged steel chassis, this compact amp is designed for players who demand performance without compromise.

The amp retains the full functionality of the original Deputy Compact Head, now in a more portable and robust format. Its front panel includes:

• Single Channel Design: Seamlessly go from sparkling 60s British clean tones to gritty 70s classic rock with a single gain control.
• Three-Way Voice Switch: Adds up to +6dB of gain with tonal shaping options including upper mids and treble boost.
• Bright Switch: Add top-end sparkle to fine-tune your sound.
• Simple, Powerful EQ: A straightforward 3-band EQ for intuitive tonal control.
• Digital Reverb: From subtle ambience to lush soundscapes, controlled via a single footswitch.
• Series Effects Loop: Fully bypassable for clean signal routing.
• External Bias Test Points: Hassle-free valve swaps with flexible output valve options.
