My Laney love continues unabated! So glad that they are still pushing the envelope with traditional-format SS amps. So many great British tones represented in these.

Hes a good player, when he's not trying to shred. Those parts are pretty bad lol

The Ironheart series and all its iterations is a modern classic. Nicely done once again Laney!!!

Ridiculous value - this is a breath of fresh air while so many amp companies are focusing almost exclusively on putting their best design work into the high end products. And Wrathe is a monster player pf course. Love the little quotes in his playing - I’m sure I heard George Lynch in there and a few others.

These amps are stunning value and sound awesome. I’m sorely tempted

Killer value and Captain, your playing and phrasing has improved so much over the years.... great outro jam!!

That DualTop stack sounds really versatile! And being able to use the head on its own for recording... I love it! I've become a definite convert to Laney amps since getting my Cub Super 12 (from Andertons, of course! 😉) , and these open up a whole load of new possibilities. 😎

Bro shredded that intro!

Great job Laney! I’ve got a Cub-SuperTop and they’re brilliant. British made, quality and good value 🙌

Great sounding amps! Dude’s a badass ripper!!!

These sound fantastic!

Been using the Dualtop for 6 weeks. It's really a great amp with feel and control. Don't need pedals for gain. So easy to set up and use in a band context since it's possibilities are well designed and works together. Sounds very good.

Just checked the price and wow was I pleasantly surprised! I don't even play metal but for the price of a decent pedal it's very tempting

That purple tele-like guitar is so beautiful

Beautiful tons! 🤘

Yup, buying the dual top rig. Just gotta finish paying off my tab with Sweetwater. Awesome video and great playing Cap'n!

Love a Laney! My backup gigging amp for when my Victory rig is being serviced.

This brings back memories of watching Lee at Dawson’s channel. His demo of Baja Tele is chef’s kiss.

Love this channel - but please, Lord above … what’s the point of demonstrating amps with your great big fx pedal board in front of it, adding extra gain etc etc…? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🧐 is it me…? We need to hear JUST the amp, eh?….

I agree. I always get frustrated when someone demos an affordable electric guitar (low budget Squier or Epiphone) but they play through Fractal Ax FX or a $3 thousand dollar Marshall. I want to hear the low budget guitar through a low budget amp. If I'm shopping for a cheap guitar, there's a chance that I would only be able to afford a cheap amp. Different subject I know, but same idea.

Great demonstration. I have used Laney gear for over 30 years and the reason why I chose Laney over Martin is that the salesman in Hessy's music shop told me that Laney's can be turned to 80% without breaking up.

Super rad setup on the second amp head! Would be awesome for home recording or live gigging. I dig it there certainly is a lot of value there in such a small footprint with some amazing tone as well.

I almost couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the price. This is literally perfect for practice. I think I'm getting one!

Have been looking at a Laney amp for quite a while now as wanted something British made (not designed in Britain) and thought this was the perfect fit. However, although there’s a U.K. flag on the front, these amps are made in China…..hence the low purchase price and ultimately the resell value in the future. Happy for those who this would suit though as they’re great looking amps!

Crazy good!

Monster gain little Amps. Wow...

This dude can play. Damn

Its hard to convince Captain Lee with budget amps, but this time he looked convinced, or at least slightly convinced 😊😅

Might I suggest the 60 watt 2x12 as part of the test rig backline ? There was plenty to like about the tones and versatility.

LOL. During the opening, wasn't sure if it was thew amp, or stock riffage, but when it faded into the actual video and seeing the Cap busting out fat chugs i lost my collective sht. >D Nice. Best intro ever on this channel.

That AZ242!

I'm getting the 112 w set up, early birthday present lol.

I had the old laney metal core for over 20 years and it was amazing, the volume was insane. Unfortunately it recently bit the dust and is unfixable now (my fault, not a quality issue). If they brought out a 100 watt version of this new foundry amp i'd be interested, but I just don't think 60 is enough for all types of gigs. If I can test one I will check it out though, and see if it's loud enough. Cos their build quality at Laney is top notch.

The valve versions of these go up to something like 160w.

I’m not a metal player, but what an amp for a driven Bluestone and for the price can’t beat it. I’m getting one

what I find kinda funny is how you can see inbetween the loudpedal and these two: guitar players are a very peculiar crowd. I'm sure Laney put some thinking into these three products and how it makes sense, market-wise to differentiate these products. I guess the Orange micro heads and terror stomps illustrate well enough how there is a market for each different version. However, what still strikes me with all these demos of the new head versions is just how unbelivable the value for money with the pedal version already is. It got all the features of the bigger amp, minus the reverb, the 1 watt version and the second IR - which, all fair, are great additional features. However, I guess there are just a lot of players who still want to stick to the physical amp-head instead of having an pedal-amp on their board, I guess. Me, I got me the pedal-one specifically for rehearsal and live-gigging because I can sent our drummer the DI for his in-ear mix even without a FOH (on small club gigs etc.) and its features and form-factor were basically made to fit for that application.

Oh - you just did 👍

The dual channel looks incredible value for money.

If there was a JH3000 signature model I’d buy it tomorrow

So what is the difference to the pedal version?

So how does this compare to the Boss Katana head?

Yes I am watching this from the future and this seems old

Just wondering about how these compare to the loudpedal on sound quality alone? I don't own any of these products but think I may soon.

Was the Captain playing metal? I take Lee has been practicing.

How does the emulated output sound is it worth it? Do you just plug into a DI and then into the interface?

Did you say who won the 850 subs prize? Nice review here.

The import fees for US distributors must be hell because the Dualtop is listed at $430 USD. I'd be just short of 100 bucks ahead buying from Anderton's and having it shipped here!

I am always skeptical when companies say they have designed a speaker specifically for something when so many speaker variations already exist.. I am more inclined to believe they try different ones out and choose a good sounding one and ask a manufacturer to brand it with their name. Am I mistaken or are there millions of speaker types now?

I like Laney but I don't go for high gain stuff at all. So Mr. Laney, how about doing something similar with your Lionheart amps.

On my newer Vox C keys it has a L and R XLR out that can go to your audio interface. BuT it warns not to supply 48v phantom power from the interface back into the keys as it may toast the keys. I purchased a 2 XLR to TRS for this as the TRS into the interface makes the phantom power not available on the 1/4" TRS. I haven't really tried this but wondered if the same idea could work with non powered mics by using the XLR to TRS cable there as well. Now I see the XLR DI out on this amp that goes to the audio interface as well? If so would supplying 48v from the interface damage this amp DI circuit and would using an XLR to TRS into the interface be defensive there as well?

They have plans for a lionheart version ?

So is it state or tube?

The ENTIRE demo of channel 2 was with the gain cranked.

I would assume that because they are both 60w Solid State amps, with an effects loop that these would be decent pedal platforms?

Naw. There absolutely is. And it's readily apparent when you start playing leads. Riffage is stellar, but there is a difference when you start playing leads. Why i love Dimebags riffs and tone there, and his lead playing, but literally hate his lead sound. Massive grating turn off. But i'm sure for a lot of people it's not an issue. I mean i've owned a few Fractals and currently it's my only rig. And i';m still looking at micro tube heads. I figured this one was solid state but promo doesn;t mention it so i searched for a review. It sounds killer, but i know no matter what if i bought one i'd eventually sell it and be looking for a tube amp again. And after 40 years, that will always be the case. Not sure why i even bother considering anything else. Axe is pretty great though, really great, but it's not better than a single tube head or even a 90's tube preamp with a few pedals or a rack effects. It just doesn't satisfy the same to the core if you know or have had th og sht. And back to back it's honestly no competition in sound. In ease of use yeah kinda. Touring or whatever yes, Recording yes. But absolute bliss that tickles the nut sack. Not at all. Not even at all.

30 quid extra for the footswitch.

I say this as an Ironheart IRT Studio owner. It continues to bemuse me why Laney themselves pigeon hole such a versatile amp range with such clichéd 'metal' styling, compared to the amps behind them in this video.

Nice, but a bit “much of the same”, where the competition are really innovating and moving forward. I would prefer a Friedman IR-X. Just my opinion, and each to his own.

Wow...very different from Phil McKNight's review...

Why did they not just make tiny valves to go with them? That would been much better imo

@ithemba

9 ай бұрын

there either are the normal preamp valves - which you have to run at way higher voltages than you'd find in a pedal to actually do anything really, plus they need bigger and expansive transformers. Then you'd got bigger form factor and problems with heat dissipation - OR you'd go the (mostly nowadays abandoned) "Nu-tube" route, which is a very niche and expansive technology that was only ever utilized in a few (quite expansive) pedals. Or you'd put a valve in and only run it at 24 V, which turns them into a show-y gimmick which actually doesn't do much (and nothing which transistors and clipping diodes can't do at least as good). The myriad of "valve" pedals and cheap amps with a single preamp tube built in from 10 years ago show that: most didn't sound that good and the actual tube doesn't do that much. Some sounded brilliant, but I'd argue they would have even without the single voltage-starved tube.
