Winner
Victory Sheriff 22

• Contact Victory Amplification www.victoryamps.com
Victory has rapidly built a reputation for affordable and well-built amps that are also small enough to haul around the place with minimal hassle, and the Sheriff is no exception. With its gold and black livery it should come as no surprise that this British-made amp is shooting for British tones, and it offers classic Marshall-style sounds in spades. Blues and hard-rock fans may never need another amp.
We said “Victory has packed some undeniably great tones into this affordable lunchbox amp – the Sheriff thoroughly deserves its award”.
