Almost like an SLO or something.Love those OG 5150s, one thing always weirded me out is the presence does nothing until you hit 8. That and the mids pretty much all the way down is money.

I’ve had my Iconic for a while now and my opinion hasn’t changed, it’s still by far the best amp out there for the money. It’s a real shame it got black balled from the start.
I red somewhere that the presence pot should be linear, but instead is log. That’s why you have to turn it up high to get an effectLove those OG 5150s, one thing always weirded me out is the presence does nothing until you hit 8. That and the mids pretty much all the way down is money.

Absolutely better than the III 6l6.I played an Iconic a hour ago, loud through 1960AV. I must say I was very pleasantly surprised, it's damn good. At first hearing, I'd say it's better than the 5150 III 6L6. Of course, this is subjective and a matter of taste, 5150 III is not bad at all.

I love the boost function on the Iconic too. It’s capable of adding the perfect amount of additional gain and volume for solos which makes it excellent for gigging.Absolutely better than the III 6l6.
Bad power tube?Bummer. My Iconic failed today. Low volume so I put new tubes in. Turned it on then loud hum for a second then nothing. At least one internal fuse blew. Off to the tech tomorrow;(.
