@jamesbrown7468 2 года назад

Great demo, @ola englund! One thing about the noise gate is that it's mostly removing hiss from the amp, BUT it's tough for it to remove all the guitar hum pickup when the guitar is that close to the power transformer end. If you were standing further out, you'd find it to work better. But again, thanks for a thorough CHUG!

@@WardGuitarCabinets I remember I started out playing guitar in ‘96. My dad got me a strat pack with a crappy strat and one of those crappy little fender amps. He told me if he saw that I was going to stick with it, we’ll look at getting something a bit better. I stuck with it and then the spring/summer/fall of ‘97, I started mowing peoples grass for 40 bucks here, 20 to 30 there, and eventually was able to get a Peavey 5150 212 combo. I was so excited. Then got a Korean made fender strat with a humbucker and a Floyd and was in heaven! Still have that amp to this day and it’s still working and sounding as good as the day I bought it. Very reliable. All I’ve had to do to it is change the tubes when needed and replace a fuse that went out. Not bad for a 25 year old amp. But yeah, those little fender amps back in the day were horrible!!

@JohnMasino 2 года назад

I’ve had my Iconic for 3 days and this amp is amazing! I’m not trying to dial it in to sound like Eddie. The amp is very versatile and there no need to dial in a lot of gain to get a great lead sound on channel 2. I use a beautiful clean sound on channel 1. The boost works fabulous! I run a line out of the preamp out to a Boss ME70 into a JCM900 into Orange cabs. That way all my effects have a volume pedal so I can blend in modulation/delay effects into the Marshall while keeping the Iconic rock solid with a little bit of reverb. I love the reverb on the Iconic! Anyway, create your own sound with this amp, don’t try to make it sound predictable. The Iconic amp gives you everything you need to blaze into future guitar sounds…

@Ljtheog12 Год назад

I bought this amp after seeing this video and a few others. Great amp for the price. I can do anything with this amp that requires dirt and it works well for both home practice and gigs. I love the green channel the most. It’s got good mids… and the boost feature (also on the foot switch) kicks it up nice for solos. Channel 2 is a bit saturated for me after the halfway point and I’m not into the ‘burn’ feature for similar reasons. The effects loop gave me more hiss than I hoped for but it’s not a dealbreaker. Reverb isn’t very good IMO. I always wanted a Peavey bold font 5150 amp or a Soldano Hot Rod 100. This is the closest thing to those I’ve found in a combo. If you’re looking for a combo capable of killer overdrive and super leads, this is an excellent choice. I can do light rock/blues all the way to Killswitch Engage stuff.

I’ve got both EVH EL34 and the 6L6 stealth heads and I almost never turn the gain up past half way on the blue and red channels. That’s something common to EVH amps it seems. Tons and tons of gain if you want it but the amps just smoke with the gain about halfway. Thank you for checking out the Iconic. I’ve been dying to hear an honest test run since they announced it. I was a bit concerned on how it would perform only having 2 pre amp tubes. I shouldn’t have doubted. I’m really liking what they did with it. 👍🏻
