Guthrie Govan primarily uses the Victory V30 MKII amplifier.
The Victory V30 MKII: Govan's Collaborative "Flying Amp"
The Victory V30 MKII was developed in close collaboration between Guthrie Govan and Victory Amps. This specific amplifier was originally conceived as his "flying amp," indicating its design emphasis on portability, reliability, and versatile tonal capabilities suitable for touring musicians.
Signature Features of the V30 MKII
The V30 MKII is engineered with several distinctive features that reflect Guthrie Govan's exacting tonal requirements:
- All-new Clean-channel Crunch Mode: This innovative addition provides a wider spectrum of sounds, allowing for anything from pristine clean tones to rich, articulate crunch without switching channels.
- Footswitchable 'Nomod' Function: This unique feature offers two distinct levels of bass response. Players can easily toggle between these settings via a footswitch, providing enhanced control over the amplifier's low-end characteristics and allowing for quick adjustments to suit different guitars, venues, or musical contexts.
