Evh 5150 Iconic 40W 1x12 Combo BK

I'll start with the cons:
The grill grate is slightly crooked, on one side it seems to be slightly indented. However, the box was not damaged.
There is no headphone output.
When you turn on the overdrive on the first channel, the volume increases by 3 times. At the same time, there is no such thing on the second channel even with the Burn mode.

Pros:
in general, good build quality, everything looks solid and does not cause pretensions.
Great sound.
Best value for money. Tube 1x12" combo with signature fat sound like older models.

Review:
Despite minor cosmetic blunders, the overall feeling is that of a solid workhorse. The sound is excellent, after replacing the speaker with the G12M 20W 15Om it became even better. It was bought as a replacement for my 5150 III, since the older model is already very loud in the apartment. It's basically the same problem here. The combo is very loud, although if you keep the volume just below one, you can achieve sane values. My recipe is to set the volume to the very minimum and turn it on at all 40W mode - the sound will be acceptable for residential premises and more saturated than turning it 1/4 mode (10W).

This amp replaced a Peavey 6505+112 which I loved but I was seeking higher gain tones without having to depend on pedals. The Iconic 5150 looks sharp, its enclosure really stands out yet blends in too. The Iconic has a nice clean channel that, when pushed, goes into from a light to wild crunch. Then you get to that red channel and OMG, it's everything what I need. Super high gain that can be pushed into higher gain with "burn" and "boost" controls too. What I love in this amp is insane tone, flexibility, yet simplicity, build quality seems solid,
What I don't like, the noise gate, You can activate it but expect to put another in the loop too
