Laney Ironheart Demo

[@glenthompson93]

No matter how old the video, you can always rely on Rob and the captain when looking for a gear review!

[@yaliguttman33]

Indeed

[@damasterkarej]

Good they are back now :-)

[@jakeobscene5159]

Still true

[@markrosenquist8259]

Yes sir

[@chusamusic1409]

Yep🤘

[@TheCrumpers53]

I can personally tell all of you guys. I own this amp and i have to say its awesome. Its tight powerful and heavy. It has a great clean and you can get some dirty blues. Me personally i like a Killswitch Engage tone. I use the Maxon OD808 and this thing is a riff monster.

[@12ealDealOfficial]

The built in boost is not half bad either. It pushes the signal before the preamp and is fairly lush sounding without being 'too much' where some OD pedals can take some focus out.

[@Gravy1255]

Do you think I could get a thrash tone out of it like Slayer, Anthrax, and Megadeth.

[@jonnelson5881]

Absolutely!

[@michaelbrohl1625]

I think you're doing this amp a disservice by saying it is only good for metal. This is a very versatile amp that can get a wide variety of high quality useful tones.

[@FALpwn]

Michael Brohl do they last better than bugeras?

[@michaelbrohl1625]

FALpwn Don't know. Never had a Bugera but I've had no issues with this one.

[@dancortes2164]

FALpwn dude you can't compare Laney with Bugera. Laney it's way better

[@FALpwn]

Dan Metallic I've never been able to afford a tube amp but I found both amps cheap so I guess I'm getting the Laney.

[@Agent-nw3me]

Hey guys, you think is better a Randall 1503 or the Laney Ironheart?

[@mattmartinez1992]

I been watching so many of their vids they no longer have an accent to me. Strange.

[@benleese7297]

I've had my 60 watt head for about 7 years and I've never looked back. Easily nails dark blues, rough rock, all the way to metal. I've looked at other amps but nothing has this sound. Plus you can switch the bias from 6L6 to EL34 which is cool. Currently running mine with 6L6s in the matching 4x12

[@andrewvanrhoberts]

That 60 watt head looks really cool. looking through the grill is like looking into a furnace.

[@peeblesj1131]

Three independent channels on a metal amp seems like such a no brainer to me. This thing sounds killer. GAS: Engaged.

[@cast390]

Rob should never play Sabbath again..

[@cast390]

Actually ,yea I can.

[@Binxxx9]

It was a copyright issue. He can play it

[@Disharmonikash]

this sounds really great! i like how this thing is voiced, really thick, mid rangy sound. Great.

[@DamianS1893]

I like this video because it shows off more true real world tones... I am considering buying this amp

[@markovcd]

Rabea's playing was so awesome that it distorted space around his pickups.

[@chrisbisperink3902]

Contrary to what you guys are claiming here (It's just a metalamp), I found that my IRT-Studio can do all the sounds that I need in my coverband, from surf to blues to rock and metal, and without any pedals! I'm just using wah, chorus and delay to taste, the rest of my sound is just the amp. Not only is it very dynamic, but also it is very responsive to different guitars and volume changes (think guitar volume knob halfway on the rhythm channel to get decent cleans, etc.)

[@daved2352]

Chris Bisperink I've pulled a convincing Funk sound from mine through a Mesa Dual Rec cabinet.

[@alexandert696]

Interested to learn how you get your surf tones without a reverb pedal.

[@chrisbisperink3902]

johno doh the amp has a decent reverb built in. For surf tones I use the clean channel with reverb pretty much cranked. Other than that, you just need the bridge humbucker on your guitar, and a tremolo bridge if you're that kind of player. It sounds convincing enough to me.

[@alexandert696]

Chris Bisperink Surf tones to me are a huge compromise. A strat is the bare minimum if you dont have a jazzmaster or a jaguar. Then you need a tremolo and a spring reverb to get that rhythm drip. You can kinda get a digital reverb pedal and a delay set on slapback and dial some top frequencies.

[@chrisbisperink3902]

johno doh with the right cab, I'm convinced this amp can do it. The clean channel is quite spanky by itself. If you really want to make it sound big, use 2 in stereo with a good stereo tremolo. And like i said, the built in reverb is quite decent.

[@JamesKenningtonMusic]

YESSS I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS EVERYWHERE AND WAS HOPING YOU WOULD DO A REVIEW... Thank you Chappers now I can get a good look at it with some chappers and lee goodness

[@Driftuner]

that jam at the end was one of the best things that happened in my life

[@spartanworria]

This is another good video from you guys. I watched this ages ago but came back for recap.

[@lollipophugo]

I've been playing around this amp, and if you reduce the headroom and open up the "dynamic" control you can get really, really good lead tones. I am both stoked and surprised at how good it sounds.

[@smkonwater23]

These 2 Laneys sure beat that last Marshall demo clip on the sound.

[@almackay8353]

This is not just a metal amp, has tons of sounds, just takes a bit of time to find what you are after

[@daved2352]

Alasdair Mackay Agreed, I let my old lecturer loose on mine who is an experienced rock and blues player and he loved it, I think it really opens up into new territories with other cabinets, I'm not keen on the laney cabs but I've run my Ironheart through a marshall 1960 and a Mesa dual rectifier cab and it's awesome. I also switched the 6L6 valves out for EL34's and they sound great too but I'm undecided as to my preference yet.

[@Smiagol08]

You guys are friggin awesome !!! Thank you soooo much for doing this review on the Ironheart. You are the greatest men on earth. Capt. Lee and Chappers I salute you !

[@stephenbradley3153]

This is the best amp for cleans in the under £1000 market. A tele into this blows any Fender in the same price range away.

[@ratsalad80]

You guys really managed to dial that amp in very nicely. I had high hopes for the Ironheart when it first came out but in all the demos it sounded so harsh and tinny. Hearing the tone in this video has peaked my interest again. Hmm, this or save my pennies for a freakin' year for a Boogie Mark V? At any rate, well done guys!

[@EnduranMusic]

YES YES YES! FINALLY LANEY IRONHEART! RIGHT BEFORE I ENLIST INTO THE ARMY! THANK YOU CHAPPERS AND LEE!!!!!!!!

[@JasonGrantProject]

Thanks again Chapers and The Captain for another stellar review. You guys are the best!

[@KevinMarchesini]

OMG This sounds very good. I don't if you are recording better or with more quality but this could be the best sounding amp I've ever heard.

[@larryshredmonkey]

i struggled with the same decision over a while and after lots of testing i went for the laney 60 watt w/ 412 cab. its much better for metal, as the blackstar didnt have enough gain for metal really. but this amp does everything you could ever want. despite what rob says you can totally play blues and normal clean stuff as well as rock and metal and whatever. its an amazing amp, you should definitely get that over a ht100 if you want high gain.

[@eingechillt]

which boxes or speakers can you recommend for this? I now have the Kong Monkey Cage 212 with 2x VC30 speakers and I think it sounds too rancid and thin

[@bumsex4me]

From what I've heard so far, 10 mins in, it sounds great!

[@12ealDealOfficial]

I've owned my 60w for about four months now. I'm still really happy with it. The breakup is very sweet and raucous, rich, thick, non-washy, and throaty but not boxed-in sounding. Build quality is spectacular. No shaky tubes, very sturdy, convenient handles that are accessible from the top and sides. It's also very loud, but even dimed out, there's no white noise wash in the top end. The push/pull knobs on the eq make a huge difference and aren't just there for show. The clean tone is sparkly and spanky- it projects well, but it's not like a 'Fender clean', there's more lower mids and less treble. The built in digital reverb is serviceable, but nothing too remarkable. The boost feature is very handy even if it's not ideal.

[@fhdk227]

so man u thing this is a good amp for black sabbath tone and lord tony riffs ?

[@12ealDealOfficial]

fahad abdulkareem Absolutely! Ola Englund made a Lionheart video where he plays a sabbath riff.

[@fhdk227]

thanks man im going to check iy

[@adriansmith76]

9:45-52, what a riff! sometimes riffs just catch my ear and immediately create a song in my head of how it would sound if it was a song. brilliance.

[@Levi_Skardsen]

Can't wait to see one of these used on eBay. This is going to be the go to budget amp for a lot of first time giggers.

[@DamianS1893]

This amp head has a very nice clean channel...

[@brandenray9587]

Haha you guys always crack me up"and that's for your two second intros" thanks guys!! Subscribed too!

[@virgult]

Actually there is a very good reason to choose very powerful power amps: a very cool and clean power amp stage is essential if you're after a sound for Pantera-style metal, thrash, djent etc... In general, you can get an aggressive sound with scooped mids when you have an almost hi-fi setup with plenty of headroom, no compression or saturation whatsoever. That's why digital simulators and solid-state amps are so popular in those genres. A massive valve power amp is another option. :)

[@dillonsnyder1172]

You two guys are great to hear. Torn between the laney, the Randall Diavlo and the HT....

[@glenben92]

Ahhh when it's 3:14am and theres knob all on the telly, it's nice to notice a new 20 minute andertons demo!

[@jesperbroeckx1258]

thanks for your reply man, now i'm definitely getting the ironheart

[@DrChuck45]

the clean sound is suprisingly good...for a metal amp I would say

[@scottmahoney7752]

this can handle very low tunings indeed. Iv played in drop A and it just sounds so beast! I love this amp. Got it a couple of months ago, and im still loving it. The only down side is its not amazing at low volumes, so not a bedroom practice amp (obviously) even with the wattage control. But out loud, its a beast

[@dkistheshizam]

Just had to walk away there at the end, the tone was just to nice. Perfect pairing, the tweaked ML2 and the Laney. Rocking Chappas!

[@larryshredmonkey]

no problem dude!! prepare to be blown away!

[@jasonforster1358]

Anyone else have a Laney either this amp or another model just to see how awesome you amp is.

[@rk28984]

jason forster Yes! I got the IRT 15w version been playing it for about 2 years at home/rehearsal/gigs and it's everything I want and need, no issues with reliability (even survived using it for 5-10 minutes without load due to a broken speaker cable), it handles pedals very well, only got compliments about the sound and it is louder than any 15w amp I ever played...I have a few videos up with it, you can check them out if you are interested. ;)

[@Totone56]

+jason forster Had a hybrid head, now it's a JSX but still on the Laney 70/80 2x12 cab ! And it's awesome !

[@Dimiguitar]

Wouldn't say this is only a head for metal. Quite versatile!!

[@dmike03]

Chappers, you are f***ing crazy dude! Setting your guitar down fully on in front of the amp and walking away! Epic! Damn would I love to have a beer with you and jam. If I ever get to the UK, I will have to come to Andertons and hang out with you a Lee!

[@Escapism7133]

I have a River K-Tre and it's a 120watt head. I know Chappers isn't big on having a super clean tone all that often but it really does give you tons of head room. I still gig with mine on about 4 out of 10 on the volume. It's usually the first half of the volume knob that has a great increase in dB, after that it's just driving the amp harder.

[@kevisauceda]

I really wish you guys would have reviewed the FX Loop...

[@richrichardson8627]

I bought the irt60 combo and I love it. it has an awesome clean channel, really full. The rythum channel has a hell of a range of sounds, from blues to metal. Now to the lead channel, METAL UP YOUR ASS!!. For me the best option is the watt control. I closed the back for more punch and I got it. 10 out of 10 is my opinion.

[@psychedelic-rock]

I used IRT60H and IRT212 cab in bedroom, the volume can be accepted and does not lost metal tone. It's a great distortion amp.

[@StormedProds]

i think this is the fu**ing best amp I've ever heard

[@SixStringHarmonies]

I can't get over Bleed The Light. I just fucking love those lines. Damn you, Rob! Gorgeous.

[@mattgilbert7347]

My cousin Paul used VC50s. Those things are grunge/metal/pedal platform heaven. You can use Laney for many tones, not just metal. I use mine for Floyd & Zep covers, among others. I have a class A as well and running them in dual mono, stereo or wet/dry is fkin amazing. Digital reverb sucks ass. Spring!

[@icarusi]

Tried one last year and it was pretty versatile, not just a 'metal' amp. Looking to try the Ironheart Studio.

[@rgriffo13]

I use the 60w head for mainly blues. It's absolutely perfect

[@MonkeyZo0]

More Laney demos would be nice. Would love to see a Lionheart one.

[@Cobrachild]

I'd love to see the Laney TI100 make an appearance in the future. With the new Sabbath album and all.

[@piptar]

What i said about the other amps was in terms of MUSICALITY, sure they all have a certain “sound” and at best can be labelled Metal with some music, but laney at the hands of the right player brings out the MUSIC in Metal! Mind you i am also a great fan of KRANK Rev+ 120 head and cab for different reasons! I would also like to thank you for a great review specially the end with BKP! The Only pickups i use.

[@fiipedc]

Hi I bought the 60W and the 2x12 cab 6 month ago... These are amazing ! It's a High gain but I was really amazed by the crunched sound. So you can do EVERYTHING. The Boost is really usefull : when you want to go to 11 ! ! ! The only problem I have is on the setting on the lead sound with a lot of gain. The bass range sound seems sounding realy dirty. I don't understand why. I have this problem with my guitar with EMG 81, but not on my 7 Strings. You have to try it with your own guitar.

[@AftershockPS3]

this product can play blues? joe bonamassa "Yes !! ALL 10"

[@98GuitarTECH]

FINALLY!!! Someone demoing the 60W version!

[@RutgerVeltman]

I was hoping for a demo of this amp already, Chappers always serving in my needs ;)

[@lespaulguy32]

WOW... I must say, this is a really great amp!

[@giggs102]

Laney is such an underrated guitar amp brand! :D I had a pro tube 100 watt head for a bit, got it for real cheap too.. awesome awesome head

[@sbboyle]

The look on Bea's face at around 13:40 when Chappers came in early....absolutely priceless. Everyone has been there in a jam.

[@Insinfier]

This video is going to tell me if I should buy this.

[@Vanadeo]

I love my Laney.. Mines a TF300 got it for 8- quid off ebay lol.. best amp i have ever owned.

[@feralerrol2122]

@12:05 I need a pixelaated T-Shirt like that! where can I order one??!!

[@CodyZabianClark]

Having just the head will let you hook it up to any cab, rather than being limited to a 2X12 combo head. You can hook your head up to a 4X12 for massive presence etc. Hope this helps, try to go for the head only when ya can.

[@CluntEstwode]

Ooh! Yes. Yes you can indeed! There is a shop around Sydney that holds them, if you're actually interested in that

[@schleprok6333]

I have the Ironheart 60 watt head and love it... thought I think it sounds better with EL34 power tubes... When is the demo for the GH50R coming???

[@Gaz426]

The jam reminded me of the Dynasty Warriors soundtrack, awesomeness

[@REBELSCL]

Question...Can you get a usable blues tone out of this without a pedal? I like this amp because it has 3 foot switchable channels all with separate EQ's and I can dial the power down to

[@Shafano]

15:49 really is quiet astounding.

[@dsaashley]

can we get some demos without the chapman guitars please.... these are nice guitars but would be great to hear more sounds from other guitars

[@eckharteric]

friedmansolo I really doubt that Rob and Lee are going to look at comments on videos from 2012. And if Rob likes playing the chapmans (which he should seeing as he owns and endorses the company) then more power to him.

[@dsaashley]

Eric Eckhart sure man... Whatever.. Sorry i had an opinion which doesn't match yours. I am big fan or rob's channel and it waa genuine comment from a fan... But like i said, sorry i offended you.

[@eckharteric]

+friedmansolo you really don't need to apologize, and you didn't offend me. everyone is entitled to third own opinion

[@eckharteric]

+Eric Eckhart their*

[@dsaashley]

Eric Eckhart thank you for the grammatical correction, you're very talented.

[@mikeoldman2259]

I own the 60W version of the amp and can say that everything the guys are saying is true. You can get great sounds out of it, but only if the watts control is dimed. Everything below sounds fuzzy (in my opinion). I have the dynamics control between 8 and 9 o'clock for a tight bass response and use an equalizer in the FX-loop to turn down the volume in case I want to play in my bedroom.

[@theprovider9853]

You should've tuned the guitars, guys... The ML-1 and the ESP Eclipse are not tuned the same and it hurts your ears especially when you're playing some low chords. Anyway, The amp sounds awesome. I'd love to see Bea review an amp or a guitar by himself, I think that would be awesome! (And I don't think I'm the only one) :D Anyway, you're awesome, Chappers. Have a great week !

[@altiguess]

awsome amp, sounds great!

[@marianoarnaiz]

I own the combo one! It rocks!!!

[@RedroomStudios]

loved the Aeromancy jam with Rabea!

[@coldembraceprod]

Dude I do like this music intro ! That was great !

[@Zipdeck998]

Awesome video guys! Just keep doing what you do!

[@usernamepl0xx]

This thing sounds amazing.. My kinda amp

[@caoileeleazar]

to paul, i think you just need to turn your eq off on your multi fx to get the real sound of your amp coz thats what i do and sometimes, i just turn down all the eq in my amp if i wanted to sound it diff and switxh on my eq on my multiefx. i believe it cuts both ways depending on what sound you want to get.:)

[@zekewee11]

BIG BANG THEORY SHIRT!!! legit my favorite show..

[@julianlopez85]

would love to see how this amp holds up in 2020... a new video with Rabea and Pete possibly...please

[@ivorharden]

I miss this version Rob. He was very shreddy.

[@JossDTV]

02:44, beautiful bleed the light cameo, just beautiful. :')

[@frankardos4211]

Rob,you either have a flat close by Andertons or sleep on that black studio couch!LOL!You fellas put out some vids!All good fun,really!

[@letthemusicdothetalkingb4438]

I have a Miracle Man, love it, great and huge sounding pickup.

[@JayFraser0987]

The ML3 IS going to be a telecaster, they are already in the design process for an MLB (bass) and the ML7 is coming out at the same time as the ML3 and will be a 7 string with the design process helped out by Keith Merrow. This is, of course, unless something horrible has changed everything.

[@vandenkevin]

That reversed tele headstock looks cool! :)

[@KingofPho75]

This and the evh 50 watt sound amazing

[@oaxaca911]

i can't escape these guys, i go here for all my guitar reviews. then i search for "Jordan 5 laney sneakers" and there they are!

[@JoneHoftun]

Andertons is in guildford, and working at a music store usually requires you know a little bit about all kinds of different effects, instruments and what not :P

[@ValHazzard]

this seems to be the best, most versatile amp for the money...and with the watt control it's good for bedroom players. I think this is gonna be my next amp...I'm just not sure whether to get the head and cab or the combo.Any thoughts ?

[@guitari666]

"2 second intros you guys do before your Death Metal tunes", SHIT, Lee's found out our formula.

[@michaelzampetakis5703]

Gonna buy this amp!!!

[@garethhowes6193]

It's weird how when ever I see something blurred I cant help but ask myself whats behind it.

[@20finnskinn20]

There should legit be a sub-genre of metal called "dad metal"

[@sparrowsblade]

The man with the pix-elated chest lol =] awesome demo lol

[@FilthyInsomniac]

I totally dig the Laney's, but I'm torn between the Taurus Stomp-Head 4 and Ola's signature Randall Satan. Randall Satan is totally unique all the way around. Yet the Taurus Stomp-Head is completely innovative and much more easily compact to carry and transport and sounds good as well.
