EVH Iconic EL34

Just saw this on American musical, it’s not even up on the EVH site yet! What do you guys think?

I liked the 6L6 version a ton but I don't really see the point of this tbh.

Seems Sweetwater jumped the gun on it, too.

Lots of features for the price range, probably sounds good. I prefer my EL34 5153S over the 6L6, but I doubt that gives me much insight into this one.

Makes sense.

TBH I hate when companies do this, but it makes sense based on their other offerings with 6L6/EL-34 variants. They could just as easily put a switch that allows you to use either type of power tube, they just want you to buy one and then think, "I wonder how different it sounds with ___ tubes?" And the only way to find out is buying that version. Dumb.

That said, I bet it sounds killer. Love my Iconic 40. I use it more than any other amp I own.

The 100 watt EL34 5153s is my favorite of all of the 5150s and variants but I don't really think this product needs to exist lol

Honestly the aesthetics are probably the main selling point here

I'm kind of tired of the EVH amps. There are so many kinds and variants, does it even matter at this point?

Are they going to make a different amp for every tube type, wattage, zodiac sign, gender, etc?

I love my 100W Stealth, so I won't buy one either. But, I like that they came out with the lower priced Iconics for those on a budget. And now you can also choose your power section which is cool.
