Thank you, and congratulations on acquiring a Victory Amplification V40. This amp is proudly designed 
and built by our committed team of engineers and craftsmen in the UK. 
We value simplicity in operation, flexibility in use and absolutely no compromise in tone. Our aim is 
simple: to create amplifiers that inspire you ever onwards in your playing and never let you down. 
 
SAFETY FIRST 
We want you to enjoy your amplifier to the best of its potential. So please… 
 
Before you go any further, take a moment to read these SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Do not attempt to clean the amplifier with any fluids: use only a dry cloth 

 

Do not attempt to modify or service this product yourself 

 

Removing covers could mean you are exposed to dangerous voltages that may result in severe injury or 
death 

• Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel 
• Damage Requiring Service: Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified 
service personnel under the following conditions:  
(a) When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged;  
(b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product; 
(c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water;  
(d) If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those 
controls that are covered by the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may 
result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product 
to its normal operation; 
(e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way;  
(f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance - this indicates a need for service. 

 

Replacement Parts: When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses 
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part. 
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
