The Victory® Kraken 412 D7 Open Studio is an official brand capture inspired by – and captured from – a Victory® open-back Kraken 4×12 cabinet retrofitted with a quartet of Eminence® DV-77 drivers.

Engineered from the outset with a mantra fuelled by exacting balance, uncompromising response, and – above all – musicality, the Eminence® DV-77 Mick Thomson signature speaker is a veritable force to be reckoned with. Pushing super-tight punchy lows, a meaty mid-range brimming with complex overtones and articulate highs without fizz, it’s the perfect driver for players treading the harder side of alt-rock and metal. Developed in the studio and road-tested by arguably one of this generation’s greats, the DV-77 Mick Thomson Signature Speaker is a modern classic and a must have for any player seeking balls-to-the-wall, full-throttle sonics. The pairing of this iconic driver with a premium, hand-made Victory® Kraken open-back 4×12 cab is – put simply – breathtaking. There’s precision. There’s wide dispersion. Then there’s deft articulation backed by a warm, full-bodied organic tone, pushing powerful mid-bite and sparkling highs. Thinking of this as a one-trick-pony would be a mistake; when front-loaded with overdrive, distortion or a high-gain amp, expect bright colourful sonics with lashings of low-end definition that’s primed for everything from dirty raunch to drop-tuned means!

Part of the Victory® Kraken – Ultra Metal Edition collection, the Victory® Kraken 412 D7 Open Studio has been expertly captured at Hop Pole Studios with a premium selection of studio-centric microphones and stellar recording peripherals.
