It sounds BIGGER than it looks - Laney CUB-Super 12

[@mdmusic2130]

I used have the original one Cub 12 R and it was really good! Great easy sound amp for practice and small gigs! I don’t know about this new version but the old one was awesome! Highly recommend it!🤟🏻🔥🎸

[@Scooby743]

Youz Guyz do the BEST Reviews! Love the knob sweeps ❤

[@TSFAHTPS]

@@Scooby743 thank you very much!!

[@nicolasdenevi8989]

Just used it in a small gig (medium size pub) and was more than enought. Plugged in 15W using my pedals; Gain at 3 (wanted as clean as possible) and Volumen at 6/7. Recommend for the price. I play punk rock and could match that drummer intensity without using a Mic

[@phillecompte3438]

Amazing review .Thanks so much .I wish more reviews were as informative ,really helps in my decision to go forward with getting this amp and the fact you used a jazz master was just a bonus for me personally .

[@twelve-t4c]

sounds way above the price point ..laney under rated

[@Robstafarian]

It is a JCM 800 preamp, apart from the boost circuit and digital reverb, presumably the 2203.

[@SAMMYKO1]

Sorry what did you say?

[@mattm2827]

I just got this amp and it is amazing.

[@simoneric8183]

Yes it is. I play with Gretsch Electromatic (5135), Reverends (Warhawk RT, Airsonic, Buckshot, Crosscut) mostly cleans on it and everytime it's sheer pleasure.

[@randyman4075]

I have a custom shop les Paul standard with emg 81x and 60x and one overdrive pedal and sounds very beatifull

G’day! From England! Laney is made in Birmingham,England (The original Birmingham) one Tony Iommi uses Laney.

Thank you very much,well explained.Greetings from Italy.

[@simoneric8183]

Thank you for your demo. I play some Reverends guitars on this exciting Supercub and that is a prodigious association I must admit. I also learnt a few tricks while watching you on the video and I am getting ready to try them immediately !

[@TSFAHTPS]

Glad you liked the video!! Thank you!!

[@endlessnameless3996]

I just tried several Reverends on this amp and I agree, they all sounded great on it.

[@malcolmbliss777]

I have the LC15 (this, only 25 years old), and a brand new Cub 8 (the last version made b4 they deleted the model). Love them both, big time. The LC series was and is a GREAT sleeper, I got my LC50 mk. II for $300, from the original owner (she was going to college, owned it 10 years, never left her bedroom, came w/ the original tubes). These amps are HUGE!

[@TSFAHTPS]

Yeah I remember the LC series from when I used to work in a Music Shop…they were great amps!!

[@mattgilbert7347]

I have the original Cub12R with a Vintage 30 swapped for the stock HH and it's amazing. With my modified Blues Junior IV (Fromel mods and an Eminence L'il Texas Neo speaker) it's the ultimate lightweight, portable dual amp rig. Perfect for stereo or, my preference, wet-dry.

[@guitar_man3778]

Great review and playing! I own the head version. I bought it as soon as I could on release. It’s not the amp I’ve used the most. That honor goes to the ‘’Polytone Mini-Brute I’’ combo and the ‘’Victory VC35’’ head. You’ve inspired me to try the Laney with the 2x12 cab. I really enjoy your channel!🙂

[@TSFAHTPS]

Thank you!!

[@Brantdrangus8489]

Amp sounds great. Amazing how many tones u can get. Yummy.

[@PRS8124]

Great review, thanks guys. Now subscribed

[@TSFAHTPS]

Thank you

[@sunjamm222]

I have the Laney CUB-Super 12. I usually just have it on break up or over drive it with a tube screamer or distortion or both.The 1watt is good for at home, 15watt can get loud. But one thing I like is that the Super 12 can drive a cab so no problems most times with drummers.

[@TSFAHTPS]

Good to know…thank you very much!!

[@sawdustcrypto3987]

Great job guys!

[@vaughan7835]

Saw the "Top" advertised on FB marketplace for $360? I think. I already have a Cub 10 combo & Love it ! I don't really crank the gain much anyway but this could change my mind. Also have a AC 15 C1 & a Peavey Classic 30 & many more + a fair few different kinds of guitars. Gretsch, Epi 56 Gold top special & SG Goth, 3 teles, 4 different Strats. Just bought a mij early 80s SQ. New Favorite! ❤

[@davetrombetti4240]

I’ve been looking at one of these for the longest time. I think I might finally get one now. They’re pretty inexpensive.

[@Scooby743]

Im gonna grab one of these and put a G10 Creamback in it 🎉

[@clarkster98]

Laneys cleans are nice

[@simoneric8183]

I agree 100%... especially paired with a Reverend Airsonic, or Crosscut, or Buckshot, or even a Warhawk...

[@steventhomas231]

This looks great. Im really torn between this and the blackstar ht5r for home use.

[@lukehumphrey7517]

Same here! Found a great deal on an ht5r on Facebook marketplace that I couldn't say no to. Did you end up pulling the trigger in either one?

[@steventhomas231]

@@lukehumphrey7517 got the blackstar ht5r mark 2 which was fantastic but had to return it in the end as our house is very noisy with interference and needed something with a noise gate so ended up with a boss nextone stage which is really good but the blackstar had a really nice clean tone and the drive was also really good.

[@mojobag01]

Lovely built in reverb.

[@gabsguitarvlog]

would be interesting to see you using this amp in a live gig.

[@bluessumlin...7067]

Laney amps always loud… small cub stack worth checking out!🙂

[@memphis200]

Have you or anyonr else giĝged this amp . Was it loud enough to avoid a full distortion sound.

[@TSFAHTPS]

I have never gigged with it…sorry!!

[@ubellubo]

I wonder how these compare with the Vox AC10C1? I was looking for a used Super-Cub 12 for ages but a well-priced Vox AC10C1 came up in my search first so I went with that, but the Laney has some really cool features that the AC10C1 lacks. Would this be as loud as an AC10C1?

[@FabrizioPeretti]

Even a bit more versatile in terms of tone. I was really impressed trying it in the shop, I don't always like that "vox" nasal quality so this little amp, as quick and reactive as the vox but "flatter" is really cool to me

[@gabrielviana88]

Laney super cub vs blues Júnior?

[@Robstafarian]

Why were the humbuckers in the Sire given so much less detail than the Strat and P90 pickups? That was genuinely disappointing.

[@valueofnothing2487]

I usually like to play on the neck pick up and it wasn't a lot of that to be heard here. Otherwise, it seemed a little fizzy and trembly and not very nice sounding. How much tube is this amp? Is the boost a tube booster that sold state boost? This is a pretty expensive amp at around $739 USD. Much more expensive than the Harley Benton 15, although that amp has been known to generate noise.

[@Robstafarian]

This is a JCM 800 preamp, apart from the boost circuit and digital reverb, hence most of the old tricks to tame JCM 800 fizz should work (the Laney's lack of a presence control complicates translation). The amp will sound darker with the gain turned up, which can be combined with lowering the treble control (even to zero) to balance the fizziness, and a cleaner sound can be achieved by rolling off the guitar volume (though it helps to have a treble-bleed circuit).

[@NintenDub]

Should put it against the mono price/Harley Benton, stage right 15. I got one some months back. A great amp. And many have said it is a clone of the curb(the og)

[@benford1726]

I heard they used to be a Cub clone but at some point they changed it and the newer ones are Blues Junior clones

[@Stereostupid]

I heard they are really good the hb people recommend a new speaker and a better set of tubes and they are pretty amazing but they sound really nice for the price .. But the Laney is definitely a step the speaker and everything is great!amazing pedal platform also

[@yungkp2834]

No earplugs? 👀

[@Amusiastudio]

shame it has digital reverb. Should have a proper spring in it.

[@TSFAHTPS]

I don’t know…I don’t think it really matters…to me anyways…I think it’s a pretty good sounding reverb

[@Amusiastudio]

@@TSFAHTPS who doesn’t love a real spring?

[@TSFAHTPS]

@@Amusiastudio all I’m saying is that I didn’t miss it when I was playing this amp…but that’s just me

[@Tiler-ju9zl]

No body uses the over drive or reverb threw amps any more. I mean come on

[@TSFAHTPS]

I do..

[@scottagar6061]

When they sound good you do!

[@helio1055]

$750??? for a 15 watt amp?? jesus fucking christ…

[@Tiler-ju9zl]

Sound absolutely terrible.u would be kicked out of the club U playing out. Be honest now

[@TSFAHTPS]

No…I don’t think you would…depends on your playing I guess

[@watchfan6180]

Chassis needs to be removed to change valves. What a stupid design, what a shame was about to pull trigger.

[@motooilermotooiler9597]

Oh and really you do it every other week, stage master? 😂

[@JPG747]

You might not do it every week but when you do, you will see what a PITA it is. On mine the chassis screws all sheared on removal, the wood inserts were poor quality, it was more agro than it was worth for an amp with an ordinary sound, and struggled in my studio sessions. You will need to bias the valves as well, Laney say at 20 so they run cooler than most. Never gelled with this amp, it's saving grace was the 1 watt input but not enough to save it from the dustbin.

[@Wooburnmusic]

A straight valve amp 3 ECC 83 and 2 EL 34 + a couple of pedals and thats all you will need, this poor little Laney is all distortion ....... Pretty useless onstage, phew, glad i never fell for this amp. 🙂👍🇬🇧

[@GreggBennett-j3p]

Ugly sounding, imo.

[@IAmWatcher]

'Boutique amp' vs 'budget amp'. Friend of mine is a technician, he says this is a tweaked Monoprice/Harley Benton Tube15, same circuit and components (except for the speaker), but at double the price. Even the knobs and the connections at the back panel are identical. This doesn't have a spring reverb however, just a digital one. They split the 1-15 Watt attenuator switch into 2 inputs and added the 'boost' function. You can buy one hell of a boost pedal for half of the money that this amp costs. LOL. Remove my comments all you want, h-y-p-o-c-r-i-t-e-s.

[@easye9-21]

This is a ridiculous comment on so many levels. I got it used for around 500 bucks and this amp punches way above it's weight class. I have far more expensive amps and lately have been playing this one the most. Great sounding amp.

[@Robstafarian]

Your technician friend is woefully lacking in knowledge of amp history, including recent history: the Monoprice/Harley Benton amps are clones of the original Laney CUB amps. The Laney Super CUB amps are effectively a response to that cloning such that Laney's amps have differentiating features. The Laney CUB12 preamp is pretty much a JCM 800 preamp; how many years after Laney released their CUB12 did Marshall release their SC20? I doubt your technician friend could answer that without looking it up. By the way, your technician's misinformation also indicates that he does not understand how reverb tanks are driven: that is a significant difference in the amp topology. I would not let your friend near any of my equipment, particularly my tools.

[@IAmWatcher]

@@Robstafarian Oops, so sorry if I triggered your boutique feelings with my remark lol, but the guy is not my technician, I don't gig anymore, so in the end I really don't care who's right or wrong. Cheerz mate!

[@IAmWatcher]

@@easye9-21 Thank you very nice for your 2 cents.

[@Robstafarian]

@@IAmWatcher Get away from whatever culture or subculture makes you think that I was triggered and that I, or anyone else, has "boutique feelings". I have studied guitar gear and its history for more than a decade.
