Victory V4 The Kraken Valve Overdrive Preamp

“Fierce, Flexible, and All-Valve”

A Compact Preamp That Packs the Power of a Full-Blown Amp Head

The Victory V4 Kraken Preamp is a two-channel, all-valve overdrive unit designed to deliver the aggressive tones of the VX Kraken amp in a pedalboard-friendly format. Built with four real valves (1 x EC900 and 3 x CV4014) running at high plate voltage, this preamp offers genuine tube saturation, dynamic response, and tonal depth—perfect for modern metal, hard rock, and progressive styles.

Use it in front of your amp, in the FX loop, or straight into a power amp or recording interface. With Gain 1 offering vintage British-style crunch and Gain 2 delivering tight, mid-forward high-gain distortion, the Kraken gives you two distinct voices with full EQ control. It’s housed in a rugged steel chassis with remote switching capability, making it ideal for studio setups, fly rigs, and live pedalboards.
