How does Laney’s Ironheart Loudpedal stack up to its 120-watt tube amp? Sound off in the comments about how you use amp pedals in your rig, and be sure to swing by Sweetwater to check out Laney’s Ironheart Loudpedal and more 👉 sweetwater.sjv.io/Laney-Ironheart-Face-off

I bought a Loudpedal at launch. Tone wise it’s fantastic. But there are two issues with it. First the power input is very wobbly and is not likely to stand up to touring use. Secondly the effects loop is poor, it lacks a return level so you’re dumping your effects into the full 60 watts - which makes it super noisy and often full of hum. Some looper pedals won’t work with the loop at all because they can’t run the volume low enough.

I have the loudpedal too and agree with the power jack being loose. Effects loops wise I find mine to be really good! I have a looper, delay , reverb and noise suppressor in there with no issues ? Maybe a dud - too late to get a replacement ?

@@omegasunnit's going to depend on your FX. Putting a Zoom CDR in the loop of mine is fine. Some effects work ok, some not, due to levels. I have experimented using a JHS Black Box as a master volume in the loop and that helps a lot. It's not faulty, it's just doing what many amps do - not having a MV after the loop.

I think I might have to get myself a new Laney. My first ever amp was a Laney HCR60r, a 60w solid state combo. That thing was a tank! It was an absolute workhorse of an amp, and a great pedal platform. I got it about 20 years ago and it still works....mostly, but it was gigged to death, battered and then neglected in a shed for years. The fact one of the 2 channels still works is a testament to the build quality of Laney, even in their affordable range of amps. I've played through a range of amps and currently use a Marshall, so i'm tempted to try out Laney again, for old times sake!

I bought a Laney (LC-50 ) combo 30 years ago for a band that I was in at the time for a few years playing a Gibson SG.. I put in a Celestion 12” G12T-75 in place of the stock HH speaker, but aside from tube changes,the Laney combo has been a great amp. Clean channel and master volume drive channel, but I was using the drive channel mostly with moderate to low amounts of drive depending on the tubes and the desired amount of drive.

my last laney pedal lasted about a year and i dont miss it

The world needs a three channel loudpedal!

Just bought this cant wait to use it!

@@jesseparrish9198 it's really good. Great tone into the right cab. Currently using a Mesa oversized 4x12. Sounds a lot better with an overdrive before the pedal

@@georgeevans6547 thanks for replying back. I might check one out.

When turning to valve amps, one of my main options was the IRT-15 Studio. Ended up buying a Peavey Valveking MK II Combo, that i thought sounded pretty good (better than my ex Marshall MG100). I got the Loudpedal two days ago... I'm re-converted to solid state😂

Should have demonstrated the direct out

I’m super pumped about the loud pedal as a grab and go solution to not have to lug my IRT60 head! But my dudes, those high gain tones do not do these amps justice 😩

Who needs that much gain anyway?

That amp has too many bells and whistles and looks like it weighs a ton. I’m glad they made the pedal. I picked one up myself not long after it came out and I LOVE IT.

What happened to the SM57 vs SM58 vid??

Wondered the same thing!!!

The first Laney product I bought was an lc15 that blew up its transformer, my experience of using Laney since then has generally been pretty poor on the build quality/reliability front… I hope the lionheart and ironheart amps are better.

I have one. I would really like the loop to be in a better place. Its ro close to the output or if you put say a verb un the loop its gonna be in the way of something. Im in fact waiting on longer cables for a board. I like it enough to buy stuff to make it work. Im pretty much putting it on a board with chorus reverb n delay to be a simple grab n go thing

So it s not really a 120w head verses at 60w peddle if the head is set to 15w . It's a 15w head verses a 60w peddle.

9:30 amp 11:34 pedal

Sound (after intro) starts at 8:20 :)

Too much talking and too little sound sampling, especially for an amplifier

Same poor demonstrator. Shame. Laney hardware is very good ideed.
