You ever seen how many are always for sale ? It’s like the McDonald’s of amps . Where I live it’s all 5150or mark v over and over . I suspect the mt100 is next amp like that . And then if you look at reverb every day it makes me wonder how many mark vs have been sold . It’s got to a huge number

Honestly, I'm always scouring the sale pages in the Mark 5 is not an amp that comes up all that often, anywhere. If you would have said rectifier and 5150, that definitely would have been more along the lines of what I'm used to seeing
 
Well it sounds pretty good to me...and I like the 3 independent EQ's plus per channel presence. It doesn't really jump out to me as outstanding but it could be much better in person. Congrats to Mr. Tremonti.

They are going to sell a lot of these at that price, and that's awesome because in a year or two I'll pick one up for cheap and see how I like it.

I get offered mark vs on trade every time I put something up for sale . It’s ridiculous. I sell amps here and I’ve been given 5 on trade that I sell fast as fuck . Where I’m at it’s definitely generic amp of choice .

Sounds very plastic and two dimensional. I don't care how much low end it has, there's no depth of tone there.

I'm gonna have to agree with your assessment................I have to add that I don't hear the clarity or articulation that I hear in Friedman's, vintage Marshall and Bogners. The clean channel sound great but we don't need no stinking clean channels.............:ROFLMAO::p

Probably just not much cup of tea since I'm not a Mesa guy but I heard that same kind of plasticy type of sounds out of some the newer Randall RD series as well when I played those.

Out of all the amps in this price range I have to say the EVH5150 Iconic excels at all the tones I like. Now that amp tempts me.........

I’m not feeling this too much based on the vids I’m seeing. Oddly I was a bit interested in this guy but the vids today cooled any GAS I had, and I generally like tones from some of the guys that released vids today.
 
Oddly everyone was so negative on the iconic especially at the price point. I think it delivered in spades
Hard to judge on YouTube but hearing what I’m hearing it might be an amp that’s hype out shadows the actual amp.

I’m sure they will sell like hot cakes.

I wish someone would make a modern high gain amp that was open and not so compressed sounding ?

Can you post an example of what you consider an open sounding amp and one of a compressed amp, please? I'm curious as to how you define those.

But, compressed IS the definition of modern sounding, IMO. And dark-ish.

Let's not forget, just like my little saying below....clips don't mean s*&^ one way or another....in the end, ya gotta hear it for yourself. If everyone only went by clips, Wizards would suck, Mark IIIs sound just as good as C+, etc etc....and we know none of THAT is true.

EVH 5153s are the DEFINITION of plastic-y. All friggin day. I don't hear any of the EVH thing in this amp. The Iconic though, sounds better to me than any 5153 I've had including both big boy stealths.

Once we get a few of these in, then we can report back...

The reason you get offered a Mk V in trade is, they just aren't that great. Every Mark fan that I know that has had one, either returned it quick or dumped it fast in the classifieds.
That's pretty much it, in the 12 yrs I've been here. Whenever I've had something for sale, almost every time someone wanted to trade me a Mk V too...so you're not alone.

Yes, and no. I don't think they sold anywhere near the amount of EVH amps....but I think they just get flipped pretty quick or moved on. So it's not because of the high numbers of them out there, I just think people want to like them but many don't. All the previous Marks sound markedly better, according to the great majority.
 
I have watched 4 different youtube demos...Honestly, seems like a lot of amp for$1,800. They will start drifting into the used market in a few months at around $1,200. Maybe worth a shot.
 
the Overdrive channel sounds like garbage IMO, the higher gain channel doesn't sound bad, but not overwhelmed especially with it taking 5 years to "design."

Because it’s supposed to be a mid-gain Dumble and not a JCM800. I think people thinking it’s an “overdrive” channel are mislead…they should have named it something else.

I'm fine with mid gain tones, but it still sounds boxy and weak. I've played Two Rocks that sound way better than this channel - based on the video of that channel it's not capturing the Dumble hype.
