"Great sound and feel to this amp."

Really pleased with the tones/feel this amp puts out. I'm playing blues, rock and hard rock. I don't play heavy modern and there are plenty of vids of it chugging.There was one clip I watched that showed it covering sonic ground that I liked. I bought it based on what I heard. My ears were not wrong. Dynamics of rolling off guitar volume/tone knobs is rewarding. Amp has a set of ballz. I've had an EVH 412 cab for years now. The Iconic sounds excellent through it.The Green OD channel is my fave.Only con I have is the noise gate. It has minimal gateing. Don't use reverb but it's ok.

"EVH 5150 Iconic el34"

Just got it yesterday & made video of first time i plugged it. Gibson SGJ zebra pickups into Marshall AVT cab with PV 1200 sheffields up top & Emi Swampthings below. Zoom 88 using camera mic's approx 8' away.It is a great amp. Sure it does the heavies but the reason i got it was for the crunch & lead tones. Have a block 5150 almost bought marshall JVM but kept looking at this & messing with my OG 5150 & kinda hear the pushed marshall mod tone. THis el 34 sure does get me there, The 1/4 power allows massive saturation & still retains the amps feel & sound. Here is the quick play through vid https://youtu.be/40RngxRYyCM

It was everything i had hoped plus more my cheap guitars sound good now. my better ones sounds amazing now, plug in and go at it has some great features about it. i run through a 200 watt Randall 4/12 ( jaguars speakers) 8ohm. it will blow your head off at 80 watts with out having to turn it up that much and sound even better than low volume.the boost on zero hit the foot switch it will add around 8db with out even touching it i like that or can crank it and it gets crazy boost .i use the 20 watt option a feature i like well its loud i appreciate the gate make the strat come alive and no noise with those single coils pickups at least in my case.EMG humbuckers sound pretty good all of a sudden, i went from a Randall 1503 combo amp (stock Randall 2/12) with the 4/12 and the Randall became covered up and put away.5150 rocks might cost a few bucks but its a hell yeah man! love it.

I was looking for amps and I thought I had chosen the 6505 and a gentleman called from a store that I had talked to about a couple different heads and he told me they got a brand new EVH Iconic in so I tried it and I was amazed at the tones , the clarity from this 80W mystery that did everything from Foreigner to Pantera without getting into the extra crunch [Burn] button and it adds a great tone of heavy to clean to your sound , I am very Glad that I changed my mind after spending 20 minutes with this amp just playing clean lightly distorted , heavy and Burn modes .. I think I will buy a second one after I replace a Transformer in an older amp ..

I purchased the matching half stack, it’s beautiful, sounds as good as the player, it’s all about what the player wants, it holds up to increased volume & it actually sounds killer cranked up with a Schecter HellRaiser Avenger and set of EMG 89’s , TS9 Gold edition, MXR 10 band eq, Dunlop 535 Q are all I use with it, the boost is basic, the gate is basic, they work fine, I don’t have a complaint about the amp or cab, dial in your tone and let it rip! zZounds can’t be beat!

A great sounding amp , I have the half stack and it’s a killer combo! The tones are more modern, find your tone, hone it in, let it rip! The green overdrive channel is great, the red channel with the burn feature is crazy good for lead playing, I’m very happy with my purchase
