I sure wish they had amps like this back around the late 70’s when I had first picked up guitar at these affordable prices. New players today really have so much choices at reasonable prices, very cool.

Actually just a couple years later than that there were somewhat decent sounding cheaper transistor amps. KMD which is long forgotten now made pretty nice sounding mos/fet amps that had a bit of a tube Marshall attitude to them. Not quite as low cost as the stuff these days but really low priced compared to a tube Marshall back then.

I got the Dual last week. It's fabulous. Takes pedals really well. The UK prices are very good. The Dual was £250

Was the cab included? i purchased 2 units, I pulled the trigger on IRF-LEADRIG112 60-watt Head and 1 x 12-inch Cab,

I have always thought that Laney amps are hugely under rated. I've used them for 30 years. The LC50 (Tube amp) has a brilliant clean channel that seems to work with single coils, humbuckers and P90s equally well and it is a killer full, balanced sound. The drive channel is an absolute monster too. Not quite metal on full drive but the rock and blues sounds available are as good as anything else I hear. More recently I am using the Laney Lionheart LT5 (5w tube). My SG with P90s through that has me on my knees.

I just watched 10 minutes but already know that this is the best demo from this amp I've seen so far - thanks.

i love that loose low end it has that sounded kinda great from a guy who is into stoner rock.

Great demo, good variety of sounds!

Great Video Phill I e been a Laney user for over 20 years I have there GH100L and the GH50L they have been killer amp I’ve only changed the tubes in them, You should have them Send you an Ironheart head.

at music brokers we were a laney dealer they made some great amps. we had the tony iommi models in stock they were pretty awesome sounding

Awesome. Thx phil

Awesome video as usual 🔥 Still really curious when the PRS Special 22 review is happening 🤓🙏🏻

sounds awesome, I'd consider getting one of these! what I wonder though is how they compare to other similarly priced amps that are also this "simple"

I play an old Laney Linebacker combo daily because it sounds incredible with pedals and its unique use of CMOS gain stages like a Sunn Beta. It goes from clean to stoner/doom. Dave from Laney knows/knew how to design a killer SS amp!

Recently picked up a Laney VC30 212. Swapped the Celestion 70/80s for HiWatt speakers and the thing sounds spectacular. These old Laneys can be had remarkably cheap if you look around and they do a good job.

Phil shreds. Sounds great. I hope they are ready to ship. I ordered a Laney Ironheart Foundry Loudpedal from Guitar Center back in July and it's still on backorder. Who knows if/when that thing is showing up.

Laney has a really good lineup now great review Phil! If you get a chance get ahold of a iron heart 80w or 120w head if you like the PRS Mt15 you will love the iron heart.

Great video Phil.....I was hoping you would get your hands on these......Dualtop is my next purchase

These sound pretty good. Phil, that Kiesel looks and sounds killer!

Cheers and blessings, Phil🙏🏻

Phil, you know what would be a great addition to the demo? After you've played through the amp, put an overdrive in front (Tube Screamer and/or Blues Driver) and then a distortion (RAT) and fuzz (Fuzz Face or Big Muff) to show how an amp takes pedals. Just a quick riff per pedal.

I’ve had the Lead for a couple of weeks now. Took a bit of getting used to like any amount of but can finally dial in what I want for the most part. Really happy with the gain channel and boost. Not crazy about the clean channel, seems you have to turn the bass and mids all the way down to get it out of the mud.

Your first Laney amp? - classic! I have one of their old acoustic amps, it's real solid. The one that I have liked the best is the 4x10 Lionheart combo.

I use the Laney Lionheart 20w head as my main amp. It is amazing. Seriously underrated.

As a newbie, thanks for the "max boost- almost max gain" tip.

I'd be interested to see what you think about the Laney Lionheart. That's a good amp IMO.

Deja vu

Have you ever played/reviewed a Monoprice 15 watt amp with celestion 70/80 speaker?

What a cool amp!!

You need to try the Lionheart man. One of the best clean sounds I have ever heard.

Really looked like you were enjoying that boosted clean tone! I have a Laney Cub 15 tube amp and absolutely love it. This might be a great option for me to use as a secondary amp for my girlfriend’s house.

Or your girlfriend…! 😂 sorry couldn’t resist, all in fun!

These look interesting. I had looked at the Laney Loudpedal and H&K pedal amps, but went with the Quilter Superblock UK for Marshall and Vox type sounds. It can run off a 9V pedal supply for 1W bedroom practice. Check out the demos by J-MAN.

Laney gets flubby in those settings to satisfy the 'Disturbed' metal crowd. I remember they played Laney amps. Nice amps. Thanks.

I definitely want one very much. Yet Australia as I’d really like a 1 12 can and speaker exact same your using Phil. As that first version for my old school rock and blues. But also some of the cleric 80’s I loved those 80’s years. I’m afraid t look price on my veterans pension. Companies making it so hard the new Rory Galager relic exact. Is not possible and at 52 few months. I wanted one custom shop relic Strat love my Gibson’s but being real a Strat for a 50 yr old veteran that’s fine a lot and suffers a lot for my service. I now after today see I can’t even go a really nice guitar. I didn’t ask for fancy sport car. Or stuff, I one my fussy ever thing snark rechargeable then hear that you guys couldn’t send and cost wise. So I just took that as normal for myself that I can say I win something just not able to get. So I just stood back and as you and your wife give slot to us all and being a broken soldier down under that got a card from VA on my 59th that’s it. Kids no family forgot and x as if she cared. Sad times when I look ahead at this rate. Still be jamming alone watching paint peel of walls some rental. I miss the days nights till sun up jamming with everyone from Harmonicas acoustics good friends and times. Was great little demo and that sound at start no pedals into the bottom amp version. Had to be it but the same cab speaker you use Phil. As that be great in lounge room for me as no visitors or drop ins but incase I’d play. As has to be one acoustic and an electric in lounge room. And that amp just a couple of my not on board pedals. It would sweet for my doing some old music courses by Marty on Jimi Eric and bb. Keep myself from getting sloppy tech as bought them and he is good guy good teacher. Practice each day then starting to add songs wanted to play every week or two. Cheers stay strong and keep on strumming. 🫡🪖🇦🇺🦮

Aww, yeah... that high gain (not QUITE full) with boost is where it's at. The 80's metal tone is good too.

How do these compare to Quilter or other solid states (orange, etc.)?

Wow, short and sweet I guess!

Boutique Amps Distribution started something!

Tube amps are overrated...... Not really. It's more of a case that solid-state amps are criminally underrated. The amp sounds good, seems to be gigable and the icing on the cake is that it's affordable.

You should get your hands on a Laney Lionheart.

Repost? Were there some edits?

Are these hybrids or full solid state?

you should check out their loudpedal

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?

Thwy sound fantastic

Impressive sound. How did you record it/signal chain, as you really captured the Amp in the room sound that so many guitarists prize as "feel"? Thanks

Sounds pretty good, but I am just not a fan of amps that have external power supplies. Wall warts are a hassle to me.

Maybe check out their Ironheart or Cub series. Not bad amps at all.

Not my cup of tea but thanks for sharing Phil!

Time update the Christmas list.

Hi Phil, hey, I was wondering if you'll actually see this comment/question and if so, would you even have the time to answer it? My question is; what's your all time favorite guitar and amp? I don't mean fav line of guitars and amps, I'm talking about your single most favorite guitar and amp? It can be one you used to own and got rid of and kick yourself in the butt for getting rid of, like I've done, or one you've played, but it wasn't yours or maybe wasn't for sale. Just your all time favorite guitar and amp? Maybe you could do a video on them? If you actually do still have it, maybe you could do the video on them, or one of them? Thanks

Yep IMHO probably because of class D power section. If it's class A or A/B it's gonna be heavier.

What I meant about mojo of the amp is the harmonic warmth of a tube amp. It is all subjective, to me solid state/digital amps have no character, they sound sterile. Where I choose not to like them and I’ve tried, you can choose to like them. I choose not to get in a pissing contest and have the right to like or dislike anything in life, just as you do.

i would be afraid of it being so light idk heavy amps give you that warm fuzzy feeling like there's parts inside

Pfft. I guess I'm not part of "everyone". 🤣

Why get a solid-state amp, when you can get a much more versatile (and arguably better-sounding) modelling amp for the same (or even lower) price? Fender Mustang (the old ones), Vox VT, Boss Katana, Line 6 Catalyst etc. are all objectively better choices than those Laneys.

Some people dont like modeling amps, I'm one of them. I hate messing with software and controls that have multifunctions being stuck with the signal path they provide I feel that simpler to me is better. Also when or if a modeling amp fails good luck fixing it. I personally own both modeling and analog products, laney lc50 and a marshal jcm 2000 dsl100 I definately prefer those over any modeling amps they are less versatile and not as easy to mic up at gigs though

i think they sound fantastic ... but i hope laney will move away from their design they use on this and the iron heart etc. the knob it just looks cheap imo the les are cool but the knobs and the front panel.. idk i think they simply need to look more premium

I’m sorry, I’ve tried but cannot get into digital/solid state amps. Had Katanas, Tonemasters … no mojo.

Ahh the carpenter blaming his tools for not getting the job done.

It just sounds blah to me. The higher the gain, the worse it sounds. But, that's just me. Others might love it.
