Victory has announced two new virtual cab collections in collaboration with Two Notes Audio Engineering and its DynIR amp modeling software.

The all-new Duchess and Kraken packs capture their namesake Victory guitar amps, and follow the existing Sheriff and Copper collections.

Both come in two versions – Classic or Boutique – allowing users to choose between the range of virtual microphones at their disposal. The Classic pack offers eight industry standard mics – including a Shure SM57 and a Sennheiser MD421 – while the Boutique pack is made up of more "influential" and "exclusive" studio mics, including a Neumann U87.

Says Martin Kidd, Victory's chief designer, "These Two Notes Victory DynIR Virtual Cabinets have been captured by Two Notes' most experienced Capture Master – Adam Steel of Hop Pole Studios. [He's used] the highest quality outboard equipment to ensure that the captured tones are identical to the feeling of being in the room with a perfectly matched Victory head and cabinet."

The Duchess and Kraken virtual cabinets are available exclusively via the Two Notes store. Each cab is priced at €10 and can be bought as part of a pack for a discount. For more information, head to Victory Amps.
