I'm thinking it was prolly a tube, but figured THEY could figure it out, not me...

I tried it out in a store and it was a good sound (and had reverb, which I thought was cool at the time). Seemed the right size.
That night was not a high volume venue, just a bit more than usual and I wanted some headroom more than the lil' amps I usually like to use.

Who knows?
It traveled on the seat to the gig, and worked for a couple of songs when it started acting up.

This was YEARS ago BTW.

I've never ever had any other trouble with a Victoria before or since.
They remain my favorite amp of all time, but lately I'm using a Blues Deluxe.

Next time I'm flu$h I really want another 20112, and another 512.
After that, possibly a Trem De La Trem and/or Regal.

Like I said, I suspect a tube.
