Yeah,waycool,there's plenty of the 5E3 type amps out there,lots of guys have built them from kits and then you can try to build one yourself,I've been thinking about it myself.
On the modern amp section a guy named Snowy built one and documented it with some good pics.
Lots of options out there to find a good tweed Deluxe.
The Victoria amps are built as close to the specs of the originals as possible,according to everything I've read over the years....if I was going to buy one from them it would be their version of the tweed Super,with 2 10s.

nice amps rebel. steep price tag.
you dont think you could get a better tone for less, way less, by doing some searching?
im just asking in honesty.


way cool jr,
Victoria amps are about as close as you can get to a vintage Fender amp. Even more authentic than a Fender 5e3 Deluxe reissue. I've only had the privilege of playing through two of them. They are truly amazing amps.

How many other amp manufacturers warranty their amps for life??

And I'll bet money that their repair techs are as lonely as the "Maytag Man".

I've lusted after the Victoria "Super" for some time now....I read where the guy who started Victoria found the man who worked in the factory making transformers for Fender and still had the drawings/specs with notes by Leo Fender,he just took them with him when he retired,...Mark,the Victoria owner,had a company reproduce the transformers exactly to the drawings.
A Victoria amp is as close as you can get to owning a brand new '50s Fender tweed amp.
