Kids just starting out on guitar these days are so lucky to live in a time when solid state didn't = suck.

[@PooNinja]

Is gorilla still making amps…. God i hope not!

[@resington]

Solid state and sounding great! Great feature set. Intriguing!

[@nj1255]

For a super cheap and small amp, that Leadtop sounds absolutely awesome! However, the cleans and edge-of-breakup tones on the Dualtop is so good that I would have to get that one just for the versatility. Also, Laney actually included a switch to disable the onboard cab sim. I don't understand why not all amp builders do that! Hardwiring a crappy cab sim on the DI out just makes it useless to 99% of users (although the cab sim on these amps don't sound half-bad actually).

[@salzulli6290]

I love how the amps with usable IRs have the option to switch them off, but the bad ones are hard locked on

[@Rustinpeace117]

The LP in drop C sounded awesome

[@UseTheSupeRsonic]

The iron heart is a total sleeper. When I bought my second Triamp mkii, I plugged into one of these and it stopped me dead. Awesome amps

[@thetribalist6923]

Just to be clear, did you plug a H&K amp into another amp? I’m familiar with slaving amps but wasn’t sure if that’s what you meant here.

If I were in a store, I'd try this out and A/B it with the Orange Super Crush. Would love to see which one comes out on top.

[@bassica5195]

Super Crush, no question

[@RubyRoks]

The Orange is far more versatile. If you just want metal and a good enough clean, get the Laney (specifically the Loudpedal since it's the same amp but $130 cheaper). If you want a do it all amp, get the Orange.

[@gabrielstevens41]

I have the loudpedal and the Super Crush and like them both. The Orange naturally sits in a mix with my band a bit better but I gig with the Laney because it just sits on my board instead of needing a separate board + head. Also the Laney seems to like its built in boost better than the ODs I have so I just use it and don't need an OD on my board.

[@darklinkduck2275]

[@CMFL77]

My first "real" head and cab amp was a Laney (solid state 2 channel head w/ reverb & Laney 4x10 cab). I have such a soft spot for them. Being 16 and buying it with months of saving from work I just did not have the know-how to get the sound I wanted out of it. Boy was it loud tho. Went to locate another one as a nostalgia purchase, and if you can find one they're not cheap now lol. These new heads are really cool!

[@EzyoMusic]

My first tube amp was a Laney. I did sell it but I wanted to have a Laney again because of it so I got a different one. I will always have a soft spot for Laney too.

[@frayedsanity]

I owned a Laney Ironheart 60watt head years ago and I could NOT get the tone I was after. Changed tubes, changed cabs. I just could not get the gain saturation I wanted, and I had active EMG pickups in my guitar... Your demo sounded awesome though. Nice work.

[@Rob_V_EvilDead39]

I had the same issues with that amp. Tried different boosts in front as well and it just always felt like it lacked balls. Definitely curious about picking one of these up at the very least as a power amp for my Ax8.

[@frayedsanity]

@whiteness2289 I think Laney should make a power amp version of this amp, just for this purpose. The amp is incredibly transparent, and when I used my Korg AX3000G pedal through the power amp, it was sonic bliss!

[@CryptToneMusic]

Do you think this amp could keep up in a LOUD punk band? Sketchy venues with a crappy PA (or no PA) are common in my area and I don't wanna take my nice tube head out where it could get stolen or messed up with lame power from the venue.

[@renevillalba]

Great review Kyle, it was a wise move on Laney's part to send you the amp. Others videos over there are not covering hi gain tones or if they are.... too processed mixes. Thanks dude

[@jacobbockover1628]

I have the loudpedal. Its good for the $ money. The sound is good with modulation. It feels ss but it takes like 30 seconds to forget. Im pretty into the duo top but im not kicking either out of bed

[@wootks]

One thing that is weird about these amps is that even the Dual Lead has a power brick instead of a IEC power connector. They should have gone with 120w on the DL so it was a better competition with the Orange Super Crush.

[@joejohnson8966]

Is that a Bogner Uber Ultra in the background? Laneys sound great.

My peavey xxx just passed way so I dropped it off at my local shop for repairs. Obviously I’m getting it repaired but I’m curious about solid state backup options. Do you think I’d be able to push the dual top when playing with my band? My other guitarist is also using a xxx so I’m nervous about getting lost behind the beast

[@Seven7Pain1]

Kyle now you need to do the ironheart mini stack 😅 it has 4 3 ''speakers in a cab with head

[@rivalmindss]

i'm sold on the lead. I'm currently using a full size amp in the Peavey Supreme XL on the 50w setting for hardcore gigs. $300 for a easier to handle head with the same equivalent output? it's a no brainer.

[@ragingskeptic9753]

Kyle, honest opinion. Will this amp metal properly with just the amp's gain? Will it chug, or is it best suited for classic rock?

I have a question for you, Kyle. If you could answer it, it would be amazing and helpful. How loud are you playing when you demo these things? I only ask because it’s quite apparent the noise the amp is producing with the boost I’m just wondering, do you have this that at a considerable volume? Or is it a bit quieter?

[@AdamRainStopper]

You don't, by any chance, happen to have (or have easy access to) a Peavey Windsor, do you? I'd love to know what you might get playing riffs through that with a typical clean boost. It's supposed to be Peavey's answer to somewhere between a Plexi and a JCM800, and they can be had for like 300 bucks.

[@belligerentamateur]

I made a video on the windsor quite a while back. Despite people saying it's supposed to be Peavey's take on a Marshall, it falls very short imo

[@Boogieplex]

Since you have Laney’s ear, you should slap them in the face for putting such a subpar boost section in there regular sized Ironhearts.I mean really, that could’ve turned a fantastic amp into an incredible one.

[@JasonMcNamara]

The Boost works great. Just need to drop a Noise agate into the FX a loop and you’re all set. Laney not adding one helped to keep the price down so low and plus most High Gain players own a Noise agate anyway. I know I do 😂

[@Boogieplex]

@@JasonMcNamara My problem,and many others as I’ve read,was not with the noise. It seems like the boost acted almost as a fuzz pedal as apposed to a “clean” boost or overdrive. It worked fine until you dial in some bass frequencies. The problem with the boost section is it doesn’t shelve low end like most boost pedals. Im not the only one with this opinion.
