Victory V30 MkII The Countess settings
Each channel has its own Gain and Master, and one Bass, Middle and Treble serve both. Pulling the Clean Gain knob out gives the clean channel its crunch mode, which uses the same two knobs. The Nomod switch on the back panel chooses between the original full bass response and a tighter one.
⚡ Match a tone on this ampHow do you dial in a specific tone on a Victory V30 MkII The Countess?
A valve amp does not respond to a knob the way a number on a page suggests. Where the Victory V30 MkII The Countess sits in its own gain range changes what every other control does: the same treble setting is bright at low volume and harsh once the power section is working. That is why copying an artist's numbers onto this amp gives the wrong answer, and why the settings here are written against this amp's behaviour rather than the one the record was cut on.
Name the song you are chasing and Tonelify returns the settings for this exact guitar amp, not the settings the original artist used. Those are two different things: the recording was made on gear most players do not own.
Settings for this amp only ever use controls it actually has, because its front panel is stored in our gear database. You will not be told to set a knob that is not on the amp.

What the Victory V30 MkII The Countess panel means when you dial it in
42W, switchable to 7W. There is enough headroom to hold a clean setting at band volume, so the gain control does the driving rather than the master. There is no presence control on this panel, so everything above the treble band has to come from the treble control and the guitar's own tone knob. A setting copied from an amp with presence has to be rebalanced here. Gain and master volume are separate, so the preamp can be driven hard at a volume that is liveable. Where a tone sits between the two is part of the answer, not a detail. 2 channels, Clean (pull for crunch) and Overdrive, and a setting only means something once the channel it belongs to is named.

Victory V30 MkII The Countess questions
What are good starting settings on a Victory V30 MkII The Countess?
Start from the middle of the range on Clean Gain, Clean Master, OD Gain, OD Master and move one control at a time. There is no single correct set of numbers for this amp, because the target changes with the song. Tonelify writes the values for a named tone against this amp's actual panel: Clean Gain, Clean Master, OD Gain, OD Master, Bass, Middle, Treble, Nomod switch.
Can the Victory V30 MkII The Countess get a metal tone?
It depends on how much gain the amp makes on its own. Where a valve amp runs short of gain, a drive pedal in front of the input adds saturation and tightens the low end at the same time, which is how most of the amp's own range gets extended. Tonelify says which of the two routes a given tone needs on this amp.
Does Tonelify support the Victory V30 MkII The Countess?
Yes, and its front panel is stored, so settings only ever reference controls this guitar amp has: Clean Gain, Clean Master, OD Gain, OD Master, Bass, Middle, Treble, Nomod switch. You will not be told to set a knob that is not there.
