An absolute beast

This thing has quickly become my go-to for home use and recording. Has an unbelievable sound for heavy stuff, and a pretty decent clean sound also. Sounds fantastic through my Marshall 212 cab and equally great when recording directly.

Product Review
Been wanting to get one of these for a while; don't know why I waited. This little head does it all, from gentle, bluesy breakup to burn-your-face-off metal; and all stops in between. Small and flexible; makes a great studio companion, bedroom shredder (at 1-watt), and a great club head.

Product Review
Purchased amp for home/project studio playing and recording. The 15 W or 1 W option along with re-amping abilities and direct out make this a unique amp head option. 3 channels from clean to crunch make this a flexible amp head. Even at 1 W this thing gets loud...

Not as versatile as I'd hoped

Product Review
I got this product home and starting dialing it in to my preference. Sounds great, I was really impressed. I can see how this unit would work great in a studio setting. I decided to attempt to also gig with it. At gigging volume the cleans get pretty dirty. They lose the pristine clean the amp is advertised as having. After a few hours of playing the amp's volume begins to fluctuate and the power indicator gets dimmer then brighter. I would have assumed it didn't have decent power but I was plugged through a power conditioner and watching the voltage. I maintained a 118-120v consistently while the amp would lose power. I'm guessing that since this machine is at an exceptional price point that Laney skimped on the transformers would be my guess. Overall for studio and bedroom playing I give it 5 stars, using this in a live setting I give it 1 star so I'll meet in the middle with 3.

Your general opinion of this product.
Just got this today. I usually play a Laney LC50 II but I wanted to try this based on the reviews on the net.
I must say that the sound is tremendous! The tube breakup happens at such low volumes, yet the tone is in no way restricted.
I'm still fiddling with the dynamics and tone dials, but so far I've found only great tones.
This unit is so compact (although it's a bit bigger than I thought it would be) that it's a great improvement over the LC50 II.
I haven't tried the "re-amp" feature yet, but I can't wait to get into it!
This amp really is a pure joy to use.
The amp, as well as the four button footswitch, although made in China actually feels very sturdy and dependable.
The switches, knobs and build all feel like they'll stand up to quite a bit of pressure.
As of right now, I've got it placed on my computer desk so I'm within easy reach of Logic, the interface, pedals, etc.
The looks like a million dollars!

Great recording/practice amp

Your general opinion of this product.
The Laney IRT Studio has amazing tone, both clean and high gain, and is perfect for recording or practice.
Just got it, but can't see any issues coming up. Very strong construction and the rack ears fit perfectly.
All controls are smooth and void of issues.
Again, this is made for metal and the tone is perfect. The EQ pull-knobs really allow you to dial in a tone that suits you. Additionally, the digital reverb is very nice and sounds on par with very good stomp box varieties.
I'll say the "action" is the footswitch here, and it's nice. 4 buttons, lead and clean, reverb and boost. Easy to use and again, built well.
It's black...
As a fixture in my studio for years to come, this unit will occupy my favorite spot in my rack unit.
