    Thank you so much for doing this video. I have been an EVH fan since I was 15. And when this came out everyone was doing the djent and chugging stuff and I said to myself “ok I don’t play that stuff this is not an amp I want”. Thank you for showing it is great for the stuff I like to do which is 80s stuff. So I may reconsider it

      You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it! Half the reason I started this channel was cuz I'm so sick of the boring and terrible "modern" everything now on TH-cam. I'm sick of no cleans or leads and constant crappy djent and chug riffs.

      @@shredaintdead9323 I’m the same way. I put the guitar down for 16 years and picked it back up after Eddie passed away. So I am kinda doing the same thing, I buy guitars and pedals and amps for the reason of trying to find what my sound is that I haven’t discovered yet while relearning the guitar and it is a fun journey to kinda try many things

    Thank you for this! I mostly play 80’s hard rock and wrote this amp off because all the demos I’ve seen so far is just people chugging and playing heavy down tuned modern metal stuff on it. It’s gotten a bit tiring honestly. Your demo was refreshing to hear. I’m gonna try to check it out in person now, really liked the sounds you got. Good to see it nails the 80’s hard rock sounds. Subbing for the awesome playing and funny commentary. Cheers!

    Excellent demo! You make it sound so sick. Nice to see a sick 80’s metal/shred demo of the amp. I really love the green channel for a heavy high gain tone more than the red channel. It breathes a little better while still having a lot of clarity, even with the gain cranked.

    Cool demo! I’m looking HARD at getting this amp when it becomes more available. I bought the original Peavey 5150 (yep, the block letter) when it first came out. Then I bought the Peavey 5150 II when that came out. Now I own an EVH 5150 III 50 watt head, 2nd model with the dual knobs for the green and blue channel. (My fave amp so far) Can you tell by my amps choices since 1992 that I am an Eddie fan? 😂 For those complaining about the preamp being a hybrid solid state and tube design, I say this. QUITCHERBITCHIN! Because the first thing these nu-metallers (or whatever they’re called) do with their all tube preamp amp is slap a solid state overdrive pedal in front of it to get the tone they want. 😂🤣 I guess an Iconic is now in my very near future!

  • @SashaCrutaire
    @SashaCrutaire 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Great sounding demo! I think it's funny when people talk about only 2 tubes and comparing to amps that have 5 tubes. Of course, of those 5 tubes, usually one is going to be a phase inverter, you'll have a couple of cathode followers for fx send and return, which leaves what... 2 tubes for gain staging (which is 4 stages of gain). It's almost like they don't even know what amps actually do. :)

    Killer demo! And one of the best EVH Iconic demos on TH-cam. So I went to GC on Thursday evening with no intention to buy an amp. The white 5150 Iconic head and cab caught my eye. Plugged into it for about 15 mins, and was super impressed. When I got home, started watching the TH-cam reviews and found your video amongst others. Friday, I ordered the head from AMS and it was delivered this afternoon, running it through my 25 yr old JCM 800 cabinet. No regrets with this one. Great channel and looking forward to more videos! 🤘👍🎸

    Also I love that it has two preamp tubes last overall cost of maintenance in the long run. Especially to somebody new getting into the tube amps who may not quite know the expense of having to buy tubes. Also arguably hopefully it has way less preamp noise. Unlike those evh heads that have an ungodly amount of pre amp noise. So with a good gate out front and one in the loop it should be dead silent

    I think its a great amp, and its kind of amazing to be able to basically buy a Block Letter 5150 NIB for a grand. I'm currently running a Boogie Duel Recto, and love my tone, but, there's definitely something about that block letter tightness I'd like to have. Cheers, great clip.

    Nice Demo , Nice Chops , just curious i have the EVH Lbx S like you , how does the sound compare ? I would assume you have more bass response because of the 6l6 vs el-84 power tubes...Also i notice the clean channel is on the break up side , is the lbx s clean channel the same or cleaner ? Im on the fence to buy the Iconic...Thx

    • @shredaintdead9323
      @shredaintdead9323  2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have a Crap load of Amps from Marshall to Laney and then some but I'm looking for a Power amp in a Pedal but I don't want to spend a bunch $$$$ and it must have as nice a Clean as possible. Reason being I can find any worthy Demos on line that show the Clean side of said Pedals they seem to only show videos where they run Drive and Distortion through IR's instead of going directly into a Cab. I know of Seymour Duncan and Quilter but is there any that you have heard that fit the bill? And yes they must take Pedals well. Thanks!

  • @marktullo35
    @marktullo35 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    It seems like the Iconic hits all the bells and whistles you would want if you were going for that kind of 80's heavy kind of tone, and for the money, how could you go wrong? I'm going for the combo as my next amp, just for the idea of having a 'grab and go kind' of set up. My days of hauling full or even half stacks are long over. Great demo as always my friend!

    This is one of the most helpful domes demoes out there! I'm looking at this for my first tube amp, and I'm trying to decide between it and the 5150iii based on clean channel alone - I'm confident it'll do everything I want gain wise. I just want a nice, versatile clean - I'm not looking for anything in particular, just a really solid clean platform. Your clean channel tones were awesome! Do you think the Iconic would be for me or should I go for one of the 5150iii models?

    • @shredaintdead9323
      @shredaintdead9323  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks! Glad I could help! I think the clean is pretty good. There's a little bit of breakup on it but not much. The main thing with this amp is how versatile and feature packed it is for the money. Honestly any tones you want it could do. Cleans, blues, classic rock, 80s and modern metal no problem! I don't see any reason to get the more expensive 5150iii models over this.

    I like the sound. Do you feel inspired when playing it? When I first played the original Peavey 5150, I felt it in my gut! It made my playing sound better then it was. I got this feeling with a Road King, and a Carvin V3 (correct me if I’m wrong on the Carvin model). There where other more expensive amps I’ve played, but wasn’t inspired by the sound. This is all relative, but I think you know what I’m talking about. Compare it to the Peavey, and the more expensive EVH 5150. Please let me know. This is interesting.

    • @shredaintdead9323

    How well did the noise gate work? I heard you say that was one of the cons.
    I am not into the Super High gain, which tends to produce way too much hiss.

    • @shredaintdead9323

      It works decently well. It's just not as good as most gate pedals. Doesn't completely cut all the noise but does cut most of it.

And for beginners, getting their first real amp... damn lucky bastards. I had to start with a gorilla combo amp back in 1991, and it was terrible. Lol
