Hey Ola✌️. Couple of comments: the lead channel DOES have a noise gate on Channel 2, which automatically adjusts with the gain knob. So it gets stronger with high gain settings and even more with the Burn setting, and this saves a little cost over having the extra knob. Unfortunately you like to sit on the power transformer end of the amp, so the guitar picks up the transformer hum. Anyway it’s a compromise but is much quieter than if it wasn’t there. The top part of the cabinet is completely enclosed with the amp inside, so a 12” speaker won’t fit. I did spend time with Celestion customizing the 10” and I think it turned out great and not screechy like many smaller speakers. The power switch is actually a 1/4 power so only 4W at the beginning of your demo. Sounds like we need to get working on an even smaller one! Thanks for the chug✌️

I think the new Iconic combo is really neat for it's size and price. As for a smaller one, an "Iconic Pro" pedal that harkens back to the Tight Metal Pro v1, but of course voiced like the Iconic would be rad. Something to replace the older MXR 5150 pedal. Also I think a solid state EVH amp like the Orange Super Crush 100 would be really interesting. I can see all the forum and web drama now with a SS EVH amp.
