Victory Sheriff 22

## Victory Sheriff 22 – NAM Capture A detailed capture of the **Victory Sheriff 22**, delivering the classic British character this compact EL84-powered amplifier is known for. The Sheriff 22 sits firmly in the vintage British family, but with a slightly more refined and modern response. Expect a strong, harmonically rich midrange, tight low end, articulate pick attack, and plenty of that unmistakable Plexi-style bark and crunch. This capture focuses on the amp’s higher-gain **Volume II** character, where the Sheriff moves from vintage crunch into hot-rodded ’70s and ’80s British rock territory. The gain stays open and dynamic rather than overly compressed, with excellent note separation and a responsive feel under the fingers. ### Tone Character * Classic British / Plexi-inspired voicing * Thick, harmonically rich overdrive * Strong upper-mid bite and British bark * Tight, controlled low end * Punchy and responsive pick attack * Smooth, musical high end * Open and dynamic gain structure * Excellent chord definition * Cleans up naturally with guitar volume The Sheriff 22 uses a pair of **EL84 power tubes** with a preamp built around four 12AX7s, giving it a slightly different texture than the larger EL34-powered British amplifiers it draws inspiration from. The result is aggressive enough for hard rock while remaining lively, expressive, and highly responsive. ### Great For Classic Rock • Hard Rock • ’70s Rock • ’80s Metal • British Crunch • Hot-Rodded Plexi Tones • Lead Guitar • Vintage Metal **Capture Type:** Direct Amp Capture **Cab/IR:** Not included – designed to be paired with your favorite cabinet IR **Recommended IRs:** Greenback, G12H, Creamback, or Vintage 30 style cabinets Pair it with a British 4x12 IR for authentic vintage aggression, or a tighter modern V30-based IR to push the Sheriff into heavier territory. **Tonecast NAM Captures**
