Haha! Props for keeping a straight face while saying "If it sounds bad, than I guess the reason is in the mirror. Not in the amp." I love it. So much stupid drama about this amp. I think you nailed it with that sentence.

It’s a killer amp! …I’ve had mine since the original launch. I have the El34 & the stealth 50w heads and I still find myself playing this amp more. Hell I have the 6505+ as well so take that for what ya will. Great video as always Euge! 🤘🏼

I’m with you on that. I got a 100w Stealth 6L6 after my Iconic expecting the Stealth to slaughter the Iconic but honestly I only really like the blue channel on the Stealth. And it really just isn’t as fun as the iconic. I don’t know how else to put it. The Iconic just has more attitude or character, the Stealth is a little sterile. The 50w el34 I like as much as the Iconic, they’re both super fun amps to play for different reasons. I guess it just goes to show, play it yourself and trust your ears/hands. The internet would have me believe the 6L6 stealth would wipe the floor with the Iconic but they’re just two totally different amps and I simply prefer the Iconic for playing more traditional metal and lead playing.

Your intro song was killer! Tight playing as usual. I liked the wah solo too. The JP wah is really good. I almost bought one, but I grabbed a Morley 20/20 Bad Horsie instead because it was on-sale. I really like the Morley wah, so I am happy. I tried asking Jim Brown about the "Burn" switch on the Iconic amp, but he wouldn't really tell me much about it. I suspected it was a TS808 circuit built-in to the pre-amp section. But he wouldn't tell me. LoL! I like what you said at the end: if it sounds bad, don't look at the amp, look in the mirror! LoL! So true. If YOU are playing it, it always sounds awesome.

Thanks! I really like the cab and the speakers I have on it. And the mics too so why not. At the end of the day a real thing is always a real thing 😎. But I still use Bogren’s IRs if I want something else. The interaction with a real amp & real cab is just something quite special and, in lack of a better word, lively. When done right. IMO the other isn’t better than the other but just a bit different.

With whatever tuning & strings are used the action needs to be set to work on that particular ”set”. I’ve had this guitar in C-standard / Drop-Bb since 2017 but always when I change new strings I adjust any guitar to work the best.

I really don’t understand all the butthurt on the internet about the iconic. Yes, it can do metal just as awesome as the brown sound. It’s fine to prefer the older 5150 tone, but if you can’t make the iconic sound good, you don’t know how to dial in an amp and guitar.

Way too many people on here commenting about which amps they have, how they dial them in, what pedals/guitars they play, etc. etc., it's like a bragging competition. Who gives AF about your gear? Besides, everyone knows there's a ton of bullshitters online. We're hear to watch this great player compare two amps and give his opinion on them, nothing more. The end...

@resistorstudios Жыл бұрын

Man the original is just so heavy, its got something going on, its so much more intense, creamier, more complex mid stuff, yet, less high end grit than the Iconic, IDK, what it is but the Iconic has something different with the high end. Similar, but not quite, the Iconic is just a different sounding amp to me. I’ve gotten into some arguments about it, guys saying it sounds exactly the same but they sound different to me. That being said the Iconic still sounds fine to me I have no shade to throw at it, but for my preference if I had to choose it would be the original design.

1 question: you seem to be fond of mainly tube amps but they have huge disadvantages (picking up interference, need to be cranked, consume more power, fragile, need to be serviced, heat up, take more space...). Have you not found any transistor amp that does the job?

@divebomb99 Жыл бұрын

Their “huge” disadvantages are far outweighed by their tone. No one I know is whining about heat and radio interference. Servicing can be an issue but again it’s outweighed.

@divebomb99 Жыл бұрын

@Atte Tanskanen Yup. It can happen but it’s an odd thing to be concerned about or even mention. Happened to me about 5 years ago, but it was actually my ESP’s pickups grabbing the RF signal.

@EugeValovirta230V Жыл бұрын

The only disadvantage IMO is that they’re quite heavy and quite unpractical to travel with. But I don’t travel with them but just record and play at my studio so there’s actually no disadvantages. I grew up playing tube amps and I just like them. It’s a bit like driving a real Shelby Mustang or playing a computer game where you’re driving a Shelby Mustang. If you know what to do there’s nothing better than driving with a real thing; amp or a car or whatever. And yes I have driven with a real Shelby Mustang 😎🤟. Oh yeah about transistor amps…nothing comes to mind atm.
