Tube Amp vs Solid State -?What's the Difference?


Incredible push-pull EQ





Plenty of tube heads pack a powerful punch. But no two punches are the same, which is why this head lets players shape their tone with a unique push-pull EQ system that renders basic 3-band EQ infinitely more flexible. Each EQ band packs an alternate voice. The natural pushed position keeps frequency ranges conventional, but pulling EQ knobs extends frequency bands for extreme chiseling of lows, mids, and highs. This ingenious system lets players achieve extreme frequencies common to heavy styles without requiring tons of additional gear. Alternate voices are as follows: deep/bass extends lows to be extra heavy and full; shift/mid shifts midrange lower for tighter focus and less width; and shift/treble widens the treble band for rounder, three-dimensional highs (a favorite for giving thinner pickups more presence). Moreover, you still get a traditional tone control, plus Laney's unique dynamics knob that reigns in lows for a tighter punch or loosens them for a wider presence.





Three channels ? any wattage!





The Laney Black Country Customs Ironheart IRT60H's three flexible channels work hard onstage or off. Lead, rhythm, and clean voices spread across two independent control sections offer independent EQ and level controls for workhorse 2-channel switching with a professional feel. Although these channels brim with up to 60 watts of power, an onboard wattage control lets you tame output for any room, whether band practice in the garage or late-night sessions in a crowded home. Five, 20, 60 watts ? the choice is yours ? and thus, the BCC-IRT60H doubles as a practice tool! You can shred with massive gain-polluted saturation at unintrusive levels. Recording, going direct, and even going cabinet-free onstage are all a breeze, thanks to XLR-DI that's fully balanced and complete with switchable line-level and PA/Desk level modes and optional cabinet emulation for seamless routing.





Laney amps: stunning since '67





The journey of Laney Amplification harkens all the way back to 1967. Lyndon Laney left behind the British group Band of Joy (and members John Bonham and Robert Plant) to venture into the expanding realms of amplifier building. From Lyndon's family garage to stacking huge stages at the disposal of some of history's greatest groups like Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and Kiss, Laney and its legacy of high-quality amp engineering has found tremendous worldwide acclaim for decades. With a long list of sound systems and characterful heads, cabinets, combos, and pedals for guitar, bass, keyboards, and more, Laney offers a stunning lineup of top-tier products with an enviably versatile appeal.
