Wow, so they just have no idea who buys this stuff or why, do they? 200W? There's a $200 upcharge for a SUNN badge on a Gemini 2 with less features. Lame sauce. I see this new version of the company folding in about a year and a half at this rate.$1800 for the 1x12
$2300 for the 2x12

What?
Either I'm totally misjudging the market or this is not gonna go as they think it will...
If they were truly listening to the demands of the market, they would bring back Plush so that we can have an amp and an ottoman.

Why do people get so obsessed with such a weird amp that doesn't really have that remarkable of tone/specs/quality etc? I'm genuinely curious, if I'm missing something fill me in, but I've never heard any Sunn product that made a noise I've never made before.
I see your point but it seems like people literally obsess over these things way more than most other amps, and they seem to have a more mythical status among guitar players in the same vein as the klon pedal or the dumble, in my experience with fans of them at least. Just curious what the appeal is.Why does anyone like any amp?![]()
I think this is the key. it directly references GoFundMe and Kickstarter and refers to a new or reworked law (?) that now allows for a more distributed investment / ownership structure. maybe they're hoping it'll catch on and end up being some kind of moonshot cashout situation? kinda makes me think of that Star Citizen computer game being such a weirdly obvious long con.There's future investor opportunities to Sunn on their site.
this is so ridiculous. I love it.If they were truly listening to the demands of the market, they would bring back Plush so that we can have an amp and an ottoman.

I guess they are banking on boomers and doomers having deep pockets. They will sell every single thing they slap the Sunn badge on I bet.Why do the 100s and 200s cost hundreds of more dollars than a Matamp or a Science amp while not being as good or cool looking lol?
Not having any new 4x12 or 6x12 cabs is dumb. You can't doom with a 2x12. I tried when I had one with 2 EVM12Ls in it and it wasn't enough.
If that 2x15 is as good as the old Sunn 2x15s it'll be dope but it probably costs way more than it should like all of the other stuff.
New Beta Leads are cool I guess. I personally think those amps are overpriced and mediocre and they have literally one ok sound. You can still get an old Ampeg V4 for almost the same price as a Beta Lead sometimes and they're better at literally everything lol.
Sunn is on some clown behavior shit and I won't be surprised when they go out of business again lol
This is why I'm shocked the Iconic is as cheap as it is, for how good of an amp it is. FMIC's price gouging has been horrendous, particularly on the Fender amps.I've been saying this for a while. FMIC is doing the price gouging thing to the extremes. FMIC is at least part owner in this rendition of Sunn IIRC. Gibson gets all the bad rap, FMIC is much guiltier.
I suspect Fender/EVH won't make such a pricing "mistake" again. You can sorta see this with the pricing of the 15w combo. I am sure when the big boy 5150 IV's come out we will see $3000+ pricing.This is why I'm shocked the Iconic is as cheap as it is, for how good of an amp it is.

The Blues Junior is now in the same price bracket as the 40 watt Iconic combo. ($749 VS $899 respectively)
It was EVH’s baby, after the more expensive Stealth and EL34 Gold heads, he wanted a budget amp that sounded great for kids to rock out with and that was James Brown’s brief as designer.This is why I'm shocked the Iconic is as cheap as it is, for how good of an amp it is.
