Sound Pure's Take

The NEW Ivy League amp has arrived!  After a test run, it's clear this will be a major competitor for those considering the 20112 and 5112 tweed combos from Victoria.  3 input choices all offer amazing tone and that 10" Eminence Legend speaker is suprisingly versatile!!! Plenty o' punch and crunch!

Check out the demo video for a closer look and listen!

The Ivy League amplifier from Victoria Amps is built with the Fender's classic 5F10 Harvard circuitry, complete with three inputs, a 10"x10" speaker, and a sound that is bigger than one would expect from the extremely portable 16.5"x20"x9.5", 14 watt combo amp. In short, this is a perfect replica of Fender's Harvard style amplifiers. Performing wonderfully with both clean tones and thundering overdrive, the Ivy League is perhaps at its best with the classic Memphis guitar sound. Check out this video for a variety of performances with the amp. If you want that great vintage sound with modern reliability, check out the Ivy League today.

From Victoria Amps

The new Ivy League is a loving recreation of the classic 5F10 Fender Harvard style amplifier. Every aspect of the original model is reproduced in the Ivy League; triple inputs, 6AT6 7 pin preamp tube, twin 6V6 power tubes and a single 10" custom 10" speaker. Like all Victorias, the Ivy League features all USA made components including resistors, capacitors, transformers, wire and hardware! (USA made vacuum tubes included when available.)

The Ivy League 5F10 is the quintessential recording amplifier, it's crisp clean tones and thunderous overdrive helping to define the modern notion of "Tone". The original 5F10's most infamous contribution to modern culture is the classic "Memphis" guitar sound. It's 2 "fixed bias" 6V6's deliver 14 watts of push pull vacuum tube power that's warm and resonant when caressed and harmonically explosive when pushed into clipping.

The unique 6AT6 input tube circuit with it's triple padded inputs are singular to this amplifier. All this conspires to make the Ivy League a studio friendly amp like no other, making this legendary time-tested performance available for guitarists everywhere for the first time in 50 years.
