This. I've been looking for a good Marshall solid state that I could potentially gig with, but I've been left disappointed. I wanted Marshall because that's what all my guitar heroes use, but the tube amps are waaaaay out of my budget. I want an amp that's good enough for gigs but I wont have to sell my car for. Guess I'll be switching my allegiance to Laney
Yes. Unfortunately, Marshall used to have the AVT series which was more affordable and much better than the MG series. Even though it's a hybrid amp not a solid state... I don't know why they don't make those amps anymore
Dude, thank you so much for not JUST showing off the clean channel on this...the drive channel and boost are lovely, and I think I found my next purchase 👍
@@PMTVUKI actually have the orange CR60c but there’s a 📦 sound that’s been difficult to fix. This Laney seems like a potential replacement. Sounds amazing.
@@robphillips8351 I just bought this amp, and I have the Boss Katana 100 1st gen. I think the clean tone of the Laney is better, has more character. On the other hand, the Katana has better drive, and imo takes pedals better (at least with my Zoom, maybe others have a different experience).
I’m enjoying the start of what is hopefully a wave of super quality analog solid state amps from the big brands. The Blackstar Debut 50r is such an amazing affordable amp. These are now a competitor for those guys and I really hope the competition expands
I've been building and repairing amps for 20+ years. I think their little 7W Cub amp is one of the underappreciated jewels out there. It's a great amp if you want a tube amp that won't blow your windows out and takes pedals really well.. If people are looking for amps to use as a pedal platform or to run modeler and preamps, IMO the Egnater Tweaker and Rebel 20s are still some of the best ones. They were really popular when they came out due to their versatility. They came out when players were just starting to move away from 50 & 100W amps, and didn't have much competition beyond a couple small Fenders, Orange Tiny Terror, Vox Night Train, and that was basically it : the Tweaker has a 3- voice tone stack for a Fender, Vox and Marshall tone. The Rebel has a fixed British sounding preamp, but you can go from 20W down to 1, and switch between 6V6 and EL84s. I picked up a Tweaker 15w combo for $300, and the Rebel 20 head used for $250. I run AIABs through the front of the Tweaker. The Rebel I only use the power section by slaving it to several separate preamps. If you run American Fender like preamps and use the 6V6s, or British style with the EL84s.
The Dumble inventor a few years before he died was asked will solidstate/digital amps ever sound and feel as great as tube amps. Paraphrasing "It's not a question if they will, but when. Eventually somebody or a company will create a solidstate/digital amp that will sound and feel just like an actual tube amp."
That Ibanez Iceman looks and sounds so freakin' cool! Now I've got my sights on the Ibanez/Laney combination, they're putting out seriously good rock tones for a decent price point. Wish there had been such quality for a mid-range budget when I was younger.
Always had a soft spot for Laney---they were founded in my home town. I remember when all they had was a tiny unit on a small industrial estate. They have come long way since then and these latest amps sound great.
Cant beat a solid state transistor amp for home use. Had a Katana, silverline, fender Gtx. Sold them all as i didn't like the sound, sounded to processed to my ears. I always went back to my old Marshall 30dfx always sounded nicer to my ears and felt better to my fingers when playing. Tried a blackstar debut 50 a few weeks, sounded killer. Tried the Katana gen 3 and didn't like it at all. I really didn't get the whole Katana thing. These days I rock a Marshall dsl 5 🤘🤘
With these, the Katanas, Orange Super Crush, Blackstar Debut, Quilters, and various digital units, I feel like tube amps are becoming antiquated. I had my mind set on one of the new Katanas. Now I have a decision to make.
I wish Randall amps would still Be alive and kicking 😢they made some of best SS amps beside peavey, Marshall never had enything like peavey or Marshall in SS amps...
Everything I have seen on this series of amps suggest they are for clean and up to classic rock tones only. With the gain cranked up and the boost on can they do a legit sounding 80s hard rock sound, or would it need a Marshall-in-a-box type distortion pedal for that?
How loud are they though? I mean im after a reliable gigging amp and out drummer is a hard hitter. Potentially looking at the 2x12 version but i dont want to pull the trigger until i know theyre a loud bugger
These make great versatile, affordable and reliable amps for function/pub bands. Also the 1 watt mode just makes perfect sense for home use. I think their purpose is just because some people who may just be wanting an all in one solution would prefer getting one of these rather than a pedal with a separate cabinet.
These look great. This is what Marshall should be doing . Laney are doing good stuff at the moment.
Literally had that same thought watching this, I guess Laney's where it's at now!
Nailed it 👍

First Orange and now Laney, there’s clearly a gap in the market for great affordable solid state amps.

Yeah the OD tones are stunning!

Sounds ridiculously good, the XLR out is gold. That seems to be the Achilles heel of amps in all price ranges, they hit the bullseye here.

I'm blown away over how the IRs sound through the amp. Wowwww 😮
Dagan really likes his Ibanez iceman. Cool amps laney is making some pretty killer amps!
He LOVES his Iceman! 🤘
Which model/year is that Iceman?
@@rogerbiggerstaff3293 that is one of the new ones they just released for 2024
@@PMTVUK I know he does it is an amazing guitar I have been a fan of them ever since I saw Paul stanley play one for the first time many years ago.
These little lions roar. The boost around 9:35 was excellent. Good pricing as well

I had my mind set on one of the new Katanas. Now I have a decision to make.
Not a Katana ! Don't do it !
@@brotherhawk3228 I already have one of the originals, which I got a while ago. Its pretty good for what it is but I'm looking for a better sound.
I wish Randall amps would still Be alive and kicking 😢they made some of best SS amps beside peavey, Marshall never had enything like peavey or Marshall in SS amps...
Don't do the katana, I had it, compared to the others it's honestly pretty garbage the super crush is the way to go imo
these amps sound awesome
Extremely good sounding!
Sounds awesome, great vid! =)
Cheers Luke! They're awesome! 🔥🤘
I have one it's great. Laney got this SS right. Reckon he has got the gain nearly maxed. Wonder how the eq was set....
Are these similar to the iron heart as I have them they are amazing and worth the money
I’m sorry, did my man just whip out Sucker by John Mayer at 14:10? Absolute legend
I watched another demo that made these amps sound terrible .In this demo they sound awesome.
And I had more or less decided on a Super Cub...
Great video ! How lt sound with Strat ? Thanks !
They cost less than a lionheart pedal.
More effects but no USB for changing IRs.
But built in IRs sounded way better than a 12" speaker.
WTF?
How much $$$ ? You should do an Anolog shootout. Orange vs Blackstart vs Laney vs Boss.
Great idea! You can find all the prices linked in the description box 🤘
@PMTVUK you need to include the peavey bandit too. You can't leave out transtube!
@@cavanray6742- or the Special 212, which is a 2-12 version of the Bandit with a global master volume 😊

Just add a distortion pedal yes, and you have the full range. The hole thing sounds awesome imo !!
@@gunnarulfberht1610 Yes but can it do hard rock without pedals just the boost and the gain cranked up? Some of us don't like pedals and pedal boards.
Blackstar debu50 or this?
Can't find price of these on laney website...
All less than £400 from what i have seen advertised ion stores online , makes them a blimmin winner to me
How loud are they though? I mean im after a reliable gigging amp and out drummer is a hard hitter. Potentially looking at the 2x12 version but i dont want to pull the trigger until i know theyre a loud bugger
At 60W they are super loud. The 2x12 should be the loudest, obviously.
What's the price on these amps ?
You can find all the prices via the links in the description box 🤘
@@PMTVUK lol Thanks ! The links workie now .
Dam those are great prices!
Why didn't they do just heads, like the iron heart series ?
Lee Wraith said they may come out with just the head version.
Because you touch yourself at night.

OVC with cheap brick wallpaper and some gash purple lighting.
Not as good as the Orange Crush.
content, good. but 2024 an no subtitles on any video. thats just ridiculous guys. thank you
I can understand the pedal, but not these amps. Like the iron heart foundry boring boring boring

Think of it as a lionheart pedal with a cab, for $50 less.
