Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? I bought this from AMS and it shipped from Nevada rather than New Jersey. Excellent head. I simply love the sounds of this amp. Nice covering, great look. I have had it a month and overall, I really like it. Reliability How has it stood up over time? So far so good after 1 month. Overall Your general opinion of this product. I love this head, I would not necessarily say it is a metal head, but gets great singing tone. Comes stock with Ruby tubes, for metal players you may want to switch it to TAD's, I did for a little while but found them a little too strong for the overall sound of the amp. I love the Ruby's tone much better! Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? It has an exceptional EQ section, which I have found to be really flexible. Great for all styles though maybe it is a GREAT hard rock amp. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Can be pretty much anything you can dial in. It was very easy for me to dial it in for my guitar. can be a little bright with the existing 12ax7s that are stock. I am planning on changing those over time to Preferred Series to mellow out any brightness. I have the treble set at -1 on both the rythm and lead channels. I love the addition of the boost function. Really nice! Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Looks great! Action How was the action out of the box? No action on an Amp! :-)
This amp is AWESOME !

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? I've only had mine for 5 months, but no any signe of a problem. I rehearse 1x a week and gig 3. Reliability How has it stood up over time? same as above Overall Your general opinion of this product. This amp has a great variety of tones. It's been kinda billed as a metal amp, but I get a great straight ahead rock tone as well...ad the clean channel is the best I've ever played...which shocked the hell outta me. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Very responsive...it's got the best EQ system I've ever owned. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? I love the slightly strained break up of the old Larry Carlton 335 tone I get. The rock tones I like are fat, but not too over the top...but when you wanna get over the top. man it is there in spades. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Really well built. It's got a huge round transformer which I've been told are the best at keeping the power exactly where it needs to be. THis is a great rig, and seems to be one of the best kept secrets out there in amp world. Action How was the action out of the box? perfect
AWESOME, POWERFUL & AFFORDABLE TOO!

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Bought this amp about 4 months ago..I have been gigging out with it constantly!! Has NOT let me down yet!! Built like a tank & So far it's EXTREMELY dependable!! Reliability How has it stood up over time? So far, so good! I am pretty hard on my equipment and this amp can take it!! Overall Your general opinion of this product. Great gain channels and even a GREAT clean channel!!?! (was very surprised by this on such a high gain amp!!) Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Whether you are playing with FULL out gain or clean..it is REALLY responsive to your playing!! And unlike some other "classic" amp companies, the tone controls actually WORK!!! The push/pull Features are incredible and I LOVE the wattage control feature!!(I can get that amazing creamy power tube distortion at ANY volume!!) Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Great tone!! Can get a very heavy tone, an amazing sparkling clean tone OR anything in between! I have been in the studio doing my guitar tracks and it is really the ONLY amp I need for ALL my tracking--Rhythm, Leads and clean! Sounds Fantastic!!! Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Very "cool" looking amp...LOVE the red lights and the metal grill!! Action How was the action out of the box? Was able to dial in some AMAZING tones right out of the box!!! It was so easy to get a great sound out of this amp!! simply LOVE IT!!
Great tone

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Very well made and awesome feature's. Very dependable so far. No issues whatsoever. Reliability How has it stood up over time? I've owned quite a few Laney products over the yr's and am a big fan of their tone. Overall Your general opinion of this product. A well built product that is dependable and can take abuse on the road. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Variable wattage control is amazing, especially for the studio. This feature is nice for smaller rooms as well. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Slammin' tone....the best distortion out there period. Great clean tone as well. Killer overdrive in between...not only high gain by any means. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Looks really ballsy and cool.

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? This is arguably the best built amp I have owned to date. If this is in fact built overseas, Laney's quality control is second to none. Reliability How has it stood up over time? I have owned this amp since 2011 and it has yet to need any maintenance beyond a tube replacement Overall Your general opinion of this product. This is an amazing amplifier! The Ironheart's stellar clean channel was a revelation, especially considering that it was built for mainly for metal mayhem. That capability sets it apart from 100-plus-watt monsters with high-gain proclivities. Other amps may have more gain, but very few are as capable of such a beautifully wide range of tones at such an affordable price. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Clean, focused, punchy, and loud! This riff box has been the epitome of versatility! The control sets are all about delivering tweakability that should be able satisfy the most serious tone obsessives. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? In my opinion, aesthetics are almost as important as sound, and the Ironheart is the coolest looking amp I've ever seen! Amps are usually boring looking black boxes, but the Ironheart manages to look just as awesome as it sounds! The internal red glow from the LED lights look sick both on stage and in my house!
Great amp! Tried them all and this is it!!!

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? I have had the Laney Ironheart for several months. Gig 3 times per week and no issues! Clean is amazing, and the dirty channels can get me any sound from classic rock, blues to heaviest metal! Reliability How has it stood up over time? No issues and plenty of gigs! Overall Your general opinion of this product. I tried Marshall, Blacktar, Hughes and Kettner, and just about everything. This was the BEST bang for the buck and love my tone. I play clubs and festivals and record and have owned dozens of amps. This is the best deal and sound for the money hands down Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? tube amp-feel applies! Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Can do it all and the most tones available from any amp out there in any price range. I love it! Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Great look and build quality is very well and zero issues!

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Exceptional quality and durability. I am currently playing gigs and recording with it. Reliability How has it stood up over time? So far it has been bullet proof Overall Your general opinion of this product. Have completely enjoyed this amp. Will be purchasing another very soon. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Great heavy tones but with a suprisingly good clean channel. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Dark but with a tight, focused low end. Exceptional clean channel as well. Very versatile EQ section Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Amp looks great when it is lit up Action How was the action out of the box? Everything worked great right out of the box

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Quality it there for a Chinese made amp. Reliability How has it stood up over time? This is a problem. The lights burn out every month. Makes me question what else is going to burn out next. Overall Your general opinion of this product. Cheap Chinese made crap. Do not waste your money buy a Marshall be happy the first time. First Laney amp that I own that is made in China and it shows. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Sounds very muddy, the hotter your pickups the more it sounds like crap. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Looks great when the lights work.
