Victory Amplifiers

Tubes for Victory amplifiers – how long will they last?

Good question. “On average”, amp manufacturers say tubes are expected to have a life of around 500 to 1,000 hours playing time. This is very much an average. Some will last a lot less and some a lot longer. Amps that are gigged will obviously need earlier tube replacement.

However, over time they all gradually lose their tone. Unfortunately it’s so gradual that you don’t notice until you replace them – suddenly it sounds amazing again. So change them on a regular basis if you want to keep the amp sounding as sweet as the day you first bought it. Far too often we see guitarists buying pedals and even new amps when all they needed was a new set of tubes.
