I've got a 2x10 Victoriette -That's the 18w 2X EL-84 model. Mine is labeled as a SoulCactus amp, with a Victoria front logo. When I bought it, they claimed something like 12 watts. Now it is claimed 18 or 20. Don't know if there were any changes.

In the first couple of weeks I had it, it blew one of the resistors in the reverb circuit and took a tube as well. Victoria repaired the amp and I have had no problems since. Plenty loud for low watts, and the reverb and vibrato are quite nice. A little farty on the low end if I don't get the settings just right, but overall really a great amp.
