The Victory Amps V1 The Kraken Amp Distortion Pedal channels the ferocious, amp-like aggression of high-gain tube stacks in a compact stompbox. Engineered for players who need vocal harmonic richness, tight low-end, and singing sustain, The Kraken delivers everything from tight rhythm chugs to searing lead tones while retaining clarity and note definition. It’s voiced to feel like a real amp — responsive to pick attack, guitar volume, and the interaction with your amp’s front end.
Underneath the Kraken’s rugged enclosure is a versatile voicing engine that balances thick distortion with articulation. The pedal tightens up on palm-muted riffs, breathes and sings for solos, and stacks seamlessly with other drives or boosts. Whether you’re dialing classic hard-rock grit, modern metal saturation, or aggressive blues-rock tones, The Kraken adapts without sounding boxed or artificial.
Built to survive the road, The Kraken features premium components, intuitive controls for fast on-stage adjustments, and a robust build quality that holds up under heavy use. If you’re hunting for a pedal that behaves like a hot-rodded amp head in pedal form — with punch, harmonics, and feel — the Victory Amps V1 The Kraken is designed to be the backbone of your high-gain rig.
