Got this Laney Ironheart 60 in trade last year. Was on a downtune kick & 5150 & DSL just ended up on the CD. But ..it sounded great with lower -gain & the clean is pristine!! was on a Ibby/Gibson guitar mode..now some strats are out..have tweed deluxe head & it puzzles me. This amp..really works well..its almost lining up that 6l6=strats & el34=Gibson in my tone land. laney.1.jpg
 
rolling some tubes this weekend ..de metalizing & think its getting into the range am looking for. It really is versatile with the way you can set breakup..Laney def has a dark midrange thing going on & a strat exploits it pretty naturally. never knew..wanted itto act like a DSl or metal amp.and miss used .can do it but i believe it thrives as a clean amp & a mid gain powerhouse. A song is being done on it for sure, The clean channel can break real nice like a jtm45..needed dif tubes to warm the amp up

Pretty sure that’s the amp my bassist gigged with throughout the 1990s....while I ran a Laney AOR 50 series II.
He kept frying a big resistor in it...I cut my teeth on amp repair on that thing.
It had a fantastic tone!
He still has the cab, but it’s in dire need of structural reinforcement.

Maybe it would shine with some kind of dirt out front.

ahh...the AOR they have MOJO !! Can we all just have the gear we used to have back & a few of the cars !!
 
got some TAD 6l6 & my buddy is bring me 2 less hot pre's not sure what..became a huge Mullard fan in the Marshall's, The goal is to keep the very pristine clean channel so i can get the strat doing its thing..but the gain to make it come alive but not like the M circuits i have...cant wait to get it on the 425a cab..those g12c greenies..they just wotk with kt66 & 6l6 , had it on jcm 800 era gt75/vintage30 was good but i felt it would pair better with something else
