Issac is correct! I'll amend my statement about Sunn not being iconic ..... I was thinking of the general guitar / bass community. Certainly there are small groups of Sunn fans that appreciate the various eras (Sundholm tube amps, Hartzell solid state amps, Fender era amps).
For me, Sunn is iconic. As a teenager in the late 60's and early 70's, I recall seeing bands from Portland, Oregon playing sock-hops at high school with Sunn tube amps. I collected Sunn catalogs and could only dream of owning them ....so expensive! I imagined that only pro musicians could afford them.
Decades later I could afford them and began collecting and restoring ( I'm a self-taught amp tech, read all the books and have a fully equipped repair bench). Now that I'm retired, I'm working through my collection ....restoring and updating. I have a 1969 Sunn 2000S on the bench right now!
