Named 5184 Bluesy British (or Steel Chicken), Iceberg Amps founder Dusan Mihajlovic’s (aka Dr. Spira) first guitar amp is a British-style 2 channel combo that provides 0.2W and up to 6W of power.
It uses for this three ECC83 preamp tubes and one EL84 in the power stage, custom transformers and a 5" Jensen speaker.
The Clean channel features a gain knob, a three-band EQ with a switch that allows for moving the treble center frequency and a Bright/Neutral/Smooth switch. You can control the Drive canal with drive, tone, volume, color (Bright/Neutral/Smooth switch) adjustments and a Shift switch.
On the rear, you’ll find a power level knob, a Pentode, Ultra Linear ad Triode mode switch and two Auto or Fixed bias modes. The connections include a line output, a balanced XLR line output, an effect loop, a speaker output and a footswitch connector.
The combo ships with a four-button footswitch for switching channels (also available on the front), modes (individual channels of mix), and enabling/disabling effects for each channel.
The 210 × 190 × 170mm steel chassis weighs 6.6kg and the price is £1900.
Two other combos will soon be available: the 6190 Twangy American will boost the power up to 12W and will use ECC83 and KT90 valves, while the 8284 Edgy British Brute, a vintage heavy metal style combo, will provide up to 17W of power and will host ECC83 and EL84 valves.
