Victoria Silver Sonic 20W Combo - USA 2018

Here is a Victoria Amplifier Company Silver Sonic, a hand-wired boutique amplifier built in 2018 and designed to capture the essence of classic American tweed circuits with added modern versatility and refinement. Founded by Mark Baier in 1993, Victoria is known for producing some of the most authentic vintage-inspired tube amplifiers available today, with meticulous attention to component quality and traditional point-to-point construction.

The Silver Sonic delivers approximately 20 watts of dynamic, touch-sensitive tube tone through a 6V6 push-pull circuit, offering everything from articulate cleans to rich, harmonically complex overdrive when driven. It is voiced to respond naturally to playing dynamics, retaining clarity while developing smooth compression as volume increases.

This example has been upgraded with a Celestion Blue G12 Alnico speaker, enhancing its tonal profile with added chime, warmth, and a beautifully compressed high end when pushed. A bright cap modification on the volume control improves clarity at lower settings while still allowing for natural breakup at higher levels. The onboard tube-driven reverb and harmonic tremolo add spacious, immersive modulation textures, expanding the amp’s sonic range significantly.

A half-power switch further increases flexibility, allowing the amp to be run at lower wattage for studio use, home playing, or smaller performance environments without sacrificing tone.

This 2018 example is in excellent condition, with grille cloth and tolex well preserved and only light cosmetic marks consistent with normal use. It includes a protective cover for transport and storage.
