In September 2022, ThorpyFX partnered with Victory to launch the Victory V1 series, a range of pedals inspired by the tones of Victory's amps12. The line offered five pedals, based on the Duchess, Jack, Kraken, Sheriff and Copper guitar amps from Victory12.
Each pedal came with controls for Volume, Gain, Bass, Middle and Treble1. Guitar World described the partnership as repackaging Victory's tube amp tones into the V1 stompbox series2.
Neither report gives a price or a ship date for the V1 pedals.
The launch was followed in October 2022 by a Six String Tales YouTube video in which ThorpyFX founder Adrian Thorpe, a former British Army Ammunition Technical Officer, had pedals blown up in a controlled environment by explosives company Alford Technologies12. Guitarist Chris Buck took part2. The video's description stated that the pedals used were redundant enclosures already damaged beyond being saleable12. Guitar.com reported that The Bunker and The Peacekeeper appeared to be among those destroyed1; Guitar World identified the same two as overdrive pedals2.
