This amp was sold direct to Tim Bluhm: guitarist, singer, and songwriter in the West Coast band The Mother Hips. If you haven't heard of them you need to look them up. They're one of our favorites from all the way back to the early 90's here in Chico, CA. They're still at it today, playing up and down the West Coast and beyond.

I love amps with 15" speakers. There's a different character to the tone of course, and it is tough to describe, but it works. This amp is kind of like a 50s Fender Tweed Pro on steroids, but with tremolo and reverb.

Check the Victoria website description below. It details the amp well and shows how wildly flexible it is.

Information on this unique design:

Victoria Amplifier Co. proudly announces the introduction of its new "Regal II" vacuum tube guitar amplifier. A combo amp featuring reverb and tremolo, The Regal II is a pure, single-ended class A design that utilizes a new "Adaptive Transformer Technology" that allows for the use of one or two power tubes at the same time. Therefore, operating power is rated from 5 watts to 35 watts; and at 5 watts, it's a REAL 5 watts, not some squashed approximation of 5 watts.

The Regal II is designed around a custom bifilar output transformer that is essentially two discrete transformers driving a common speaker load. This allows for the use of any combination of common 8 pin power tubes - from a single 6V6 delivering 5 watts of pure class A power, to two EL-34's for 35 watts. And because each tube is relating to its own independent transformer winding and bias resistor, any combination of different tubes types can be auditioned. Whether it be a single 6V6 or 6L6GC or a combination of the two (yes that's right, a 6V6 and a 6L6GC at the same time) the Regal II never needs biasing or adjustments when changing tubes. This versatility is also extended to rectifier tubes; the Regal II can accept any common 5 Volt rectifier including 5Y3, 5V4, 5U4, and 5AR4 with no adjustments nessessary.

The Regal II is available in laquered tweed or vanilla tolex. WeberVST Custom AlNiCo 15" speaker standard, Eminence Legend 15" and Celestion Gold optional. Footswitchable, 100% tube-driven reverb and tremolo. 100% handwired with US-made Allen Bradley resistors and custom Victoria capacitors.

The results speak for themselves, and Victoria amplifiers continue to be acknowledged by players and critics alike as clearly superior in construction, durability, and tone among small-production, custom amplifiers built today at any price.
