Laney IRT15 - Older Amps You Should Own - Part Three

A very versatile amp imo, decent cleans and robust crunch underneath what this amp is known for - a brutal metal tone! Nice EQ that you can scoop or make mid prominent with both sounding good.

Just got a used IRT15H-2 from guitar center. Really happy with the amp. I did pay a bit more at $350. I like how the second version is more like a regular head. The original version was neat though with its form factor and carrying bag. I own a few budget heads and this might be my favorite of the lot. Also the “

OGJ, I really like you go into depth on all of your videos. Tech specs, tones and your opinion. I have the same model. I use it with the Laney Black Country Customs, TI Boost. Great Black Sabbath sounds. I look forward for your next videos. Thanks for keeping it honest. Craig...

Thanks Craig, will do \m/ Guitar Jon uses that Laney Black Country drive a bit on his Sonic Studio channel. Guess I’ll have to try one out.

@@oldguyjammin9732 By the way, I see you have a new toy. Is that an IRT 30? When can we see a review?

[@oldguyjammin9732]

@@craigsavickislivefromsunny4000 - the IRT30 has a lot to offer and will take me a while to really get to know it and figure out how best to highlight it. I find it surprisingly good, somewhat Marshall like with a hint of Engl tightness. It’ll be a few weeks but a review is coming for sure \m/

As far as I notice the amp have a headphones output, it is possible to use it without a cab for home practice? Thanks nice demo!

I know it's an old post... But I am wondering if you figured out how to deal with the "fx loop insert muting the preamp signal" issue... Can't just simply use a delay or chorus padel in the loop because it will cut all the preamp signal out...

[@oldguyjammin9732]

Sorry, not aware of the issue. I’ve since sold several amps and recently picked up a SLO30. Can you use use a patch cable?

@@oldguyjammin9732 Thank you for your kindly reply! Today I figured out that I made a mistake setting my fx unit send and return level to 0....

Well THANKS Bob :)

How are you doing the Marshall dimed at home? Attenuator?

[@oldguyjammin9732]

Hey Macaroon - re the DSL20 with the master half way up it sounds great and nestles in right around 90 dB, with the master up to 3:00 the dBs go up to about 104 which is pretty loud but sounds great and according to my Mesa manual I can play a good hour or so without hearing loss, lol. It’s really quite a bit lighter and easier to move around than the 40 and honestly I’m thinking it just sounds better for some reason. The reverb is better for sure. A couple of weeks ago I hooked up with a drummer/bass player and while the little dsl5 (pushed with The Killing Floor) held its own it would’ve been nice to have that little extra that the 20 provides. When I review it I’ll put some ear plugs in and we’ll see how loud it is ‘dimed’. I guess you’re referring to my comment that the 20 is nice because you can dime it..? I should have been clearer and just said ‘get the master properly in play’ :)

@@oldguyjammin9732 that was exactly what I was meaning. Thanks for such a detailed response. Great video and content as always. Definitely keeping an eye out for a Laney IRT too
