Hello 👋🏻 from British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦 and Happy New Year! 🍹🥳 Ola. I Love your channel , guitar playing and your sense of humour! I’m a huge fan brother! loved the badass riff at the start of this vid ( anyone know if this is from a song or just a riff? ) and also Hello 👋🏻 to all at Laney Amps as well. A few years back just purely out of curiosity about the sound etc. because Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath uses Laney Amps, I bought a little Laney LX12 practice amp. I thought if Tony uses their gear they must sound good as I have always loved the sound and tone that he has. I have a number of different amps, 2 Marshall’s Valvestate 80V + MG 30 DFX, Peavy Studio Chorus 210 ,Roland DAC-15XD, Yamaha GA10 , and the mentioned Laney LX12. After I bought the Laney I took it home and plugged it in and was Not Disappointed in the least ! ( especially when you consider this thing is tiny!) I was immediately blown away at how great this thing sounds for such a small amp ! It sounds much bigger than you’d expect! Like a big amp with everything cranked up but running at a low volume I also have tons of pedals and other gear mostly Boss , a few MXR’s , and a Dunlop - DIME signature Cry Baby from Hell Wah and lots of other random stuff. I usually just run a very minimal setup through it though - Boss Metal Zone stacked with a Boss Hyper Metal and a Boss DD3 Digital Delay. That Laney sounds amazing for what it is! If someone is just getting started and needs a small 1st amp or even just needs a little amp to practice with grab one of these if you can. It’s a truly great little amp and after hearing for myself what that tiny LX12 can do… I have been able to test out a few bigger ones since buying the LX12… I absolutely have to get a new bigger amp from Laney ! These things are a Beast for metal style guitar ( but in case you are wondering they sound great fully clean as well) at the very least consider giving one a go ! … I’m just gonna go ahead and say … you’ll probably be taking it home ! 🤘🏻😄🎸😎 cheers guys 🍻 please take my money 😁, you make Great Amps !
One of the best things about your older videos: more 7 string demos. It helps because if the amp is producing a tight tone even at lower guitar tunings, then that’s automatically good for those using higher tunings and six string guitars. I think you should always demo with both. Your old Ironheart video was gold just like this one.
Agree! That’s the whole reason I got into this channel in the beginning, was cause of the 7 string stuff he was doing. With the amps, and guitars. Agree 100%! I mean I still love the channel, but I get even more stoked when he does break out the 7s for amp demos
@@ericsmith6633 Well said. In the end, it’s always great to see Ola carve out excellent tones from various gear, but when the demos also involve lower tuned and 7-8 string guitars, it becomes a greatly welcomed bonus.
@@sabahoudini not enough gain. Weird high end with no squish or complexity to the low end. It absolutely hated a number of my guitars- sound okay with a few. This is just my opinion though. Flipped it for a 6505mh and am much more satisfied
Y'know I could've sworn there was a Type S that had the white binding but looking at the sight I can't find it anymore. You're right though, classic look and with an Evertune or a Floyd, got dam
I own this amp for quite a while, pretty much exact same settings as Ola. Some important points I noticed dialing it in: - lead channel is actually best suited for solo playing - the interaction between the watt poti (kinda master vol) and the channel volume is crucial for tight tone. Put one of them too high and it's muddy. I run pretty much Olas combination - an external boost like T808 or TS9 really tightens up the loseness of the power amp you described. I run it on all the time in boost mode (lvl max gain 0) - dont use the pre boost - the clean channel is pretty great aswell so this amp delivers even way beyound metal
People don't realize how hard content creators work to bring them free content, and most don't start getting paid for a few years. When viewers get angry cuz you didn't show/say what they wanted, it can get heavy if uou let it. You have the best metal/guitar channel out there and I love what you do sir!
This is so true! I've been creating anime and vgms music for 5 years already and my channel just started popping ( and finally producing a little income). You have to love your craft definitely.
Me tooback in the early 90's g a dude loaned my friend a 300w Laney head for a barn jam, and we couldn't believe how much better it was than any of the heads we had in there before or since all the shootouts show the IronHearts to be just as good.
ola my old mate....you are appreciated brother and dont ever question that.your subscribers like and appreciate what you do and who you are as a person.Much love from a long time listener here in the U.K.
Your original Ironheart video is what made me pick them when I got back into gigging again. Have been using them happily for nearly 5 years now. They sound great and have so many features for the price
Cannot believe people complaining 10 years ago.... I mean... You and merrow are the only 2 UA-camrs that have great gears demo (in metal genre)... For quality, both of you are top tier. Fluff channel still in his "primitive form", Rabea haven't even started... The only people who "diligently" uploading demo videos at that time are chapper and toneking, but they still use their camcorder mic 🤣
Glad to see the amp properly back on the channel. Used to gig and record for years with 15w lunchbox version of this amp - and even that had this huge, chunky clarity to it. The 15w head is basically that green channel and pre-boost only. It has an FX loop, but no watt control/power soak. Been waiting for this, sounds good man!
@@oli8624 Been thinking about the Studio, since it's basically a rack version of the lunchbox head - but with built-in dummy load. Great for my needs in home studio.
@@Traski The IRT Studio is the best you can buy for that money and not to forget: it has three channels like the big versions. Thats the big difference to the lunchbox version. And even for live purposes it's definitely loud enough. With some compression in front and eventually a booster (I use the TC Electronic Spark Booster) it's absolutely tight. I found my dream setting which works with every guitar I own. Without cab connected it has 1W and it's still responsive as hell. With good IRs you can totally control the gain with your volume knob like on a big amp. Don't know how they did that :D
oh fuc* yes!!! I've waiting so much for this!! Your original ironheart videos were very important in my decision to purchase one. I still have it and love it. Thanks my friend!
To me it sounds like a more flexible 5150 preamp combined with rectifier power amp. I own an Ironheart 60 and it's increadable. Also the Ironheart sls is a great small gigging amp. Recommend it to anyone
The power amp section sounds like that because the «watts» dial is to low and is choking the amp. Watts dial is not a regular master volume control, but controls something Laney calls “variwatt” and should be maxed out for metal, otherwise you’re going to saturate the power amp stage. The channel volume dials is then used to control overall volume.
Exactly. It also didn't help that he had the tone knob maxed out and the dynamics knob turned down to be super narrow. I had this amp for quite a few years and know it can sound way better than this demo, so I was kinda disappointed with this revisit. Oh well, to each their own!
To be fair, than its on laney for calling it "variwatts control, which allows you to get the tone you are after at any wattage level without compromising your tone" from my understanding, they pretty much state that this shouldnt alter the tone.
@@Sageleef Yeah, but in practice it really doesn’t work that way. The lower the setting, the more the amp compresses and sags. That was my experience years ago, and after that the watts dial on my amp has been maxed out ever since. Maybe that was Laneys intention, to enable power amp distortion at lower volume levels. I’m also curious to why Ola, yet again, didn’t try using the amp with a tubescreamer or similar to tighten it up more and get more of that mid focused distortion. Still don’t think he did this amp justice 😕
I owned a Laney Ironheart 60w as my first tube amp for years because of that original video. I loved it, but I've been going steady with the JP-2C for the last 5 years now.
This has gotta be one of your most underrated amps of all time it just ROCKS riffs are heavy chug and linear notes still sound great and ring with a lot of tone. Definitely one of my favorites that you own!!! Very Cool!!! 😏✌
Proud owner of an Ironheart, and yes, maybe the best value for money you can find for hi-gain amplifiers with the JVM. Generally speaking, I think UK hi-gain amps have a better quality to price ratio. That is true for Marshalls, Laneys, Victorys, Oranges, etc. And don't overlook these amplifiers or you would be wrong.
Thanks for doing this updated demo Ola, watched your old video and got the 120w a couple of years ago. Couldn't be happier with it, such an underrated amp.
A few years ago when VST amp sims were not as common I thought about buying the IRT-Studio, basically the 15W rack version of this. The Ironheart stuff just sounds so ballsy and full, perfect for any style. That said, modelers and plugins are the future so I never went for it
I was in the same situation and I actually bought the IRT studio with matching cab. Two years after that my axe fx became a paperweight, my many (MANY) plugins sat dormant and I just started buying amps lol. I do love the modelers and plugs but the Laney made me fall in love with real amps, really for the first time in my life. That coupled with the fact you can use IRs/load boxes, there's not a minute of the day I can't plug in a fully cranked tube amp and get a bad ass recorded tone. The price difference is rough but hey, we do what we gotta!
This used to be my go to amp before I moved. Great metal tone and also great cleans so it was good overall if I used pedals with it. I also used it in my apartment in high school thanks to the Watt knob. The versatility was insane!
It's amazing it is still functioning 10 years later. First the reverb would go(whether you EVER used it or not) and then the main transformer failed. I had 3 Mk I's and 1 Mk II and they all failed. I still love my Laney LA30BL's run in stereo with MV mod, but to hell with the Ironheart.
I own the Ironheart 15 watt in my rack, and dare i say it... it is my favourite metal amps, even better than my JCM800 with a screamer in front of it. Severely underrated amp imo and sounds just as good as alot of metal amps a few hundred quid more whilst beaming with an evil red glow!
Now I'm really regretting passing up the ironheart 60w combo I saw on marketplace the other day! Killer intro, hadda put the cans on and crank the chugs!
I got my IRT studio 8 years ago and have used it practically every day since, never had a problem and always sounds consistently awesome. I go to some of my other amps sometimes but always seem to come back to the IRT. I viewed so many videos (including yours) when I was researching.
This was actually my first ever tube amp. I picekd it up 3 years ago used. Got the 60 Watt version and the 4x12 Laney Speaker for 450€ together and I don't regret anything. All I use with that is a Maxon OD808 and a Noisegate and your set. What I find astonishing about this amp is the very cear clean tone and in general the versatility you have.
I got this exact amp back in the day cause of your and Keith Merrow's demos of it. I really dig it, does exactly what I need it to do. 🤘Still working perfectly to this day.
Has it really been ten years? I remember this like it was yesterday.. 23 and was just learning how to record. Thanks for showing us all pointers back then Ola. Thanks to you, recording was possible for me. Thanks again Ola! (btw the intro song brought back hella memories) \m/
I love my Ironheart 🖤 This is newer model as the logo has been updated. I have a 60 watt version, and I also use mine as a bass amp sometimes. I think the matching can prob isn’t worth it, so get a decent one. “Your dog will die, your wife will leave you, and your car might get repossessed, but your guitar cabinet, is forever.” -Unknown
“Until your ex-wife sues you for alimony and you have to hawk it to avoid losing your job and spending time in the clink.” 😂 Hey…I thought it was funny…
I truly regret having sold mine (120W + x4 Cabinet), one of the best amp I ever had. And back then, in 2012, I was hesitating with 2 others cabinet, your video convinced me to take it, I went to my local store, they had one, I tried it and ended up purchasing it :)
Just discovered your vids and loving em bro! Just bought a new guitar after 8 year (🤔 I think) hiatus and learning a lot. Got my hands on a Peavey Vypyr thanks to you 👍 Cheers man 🍻😄
Revisiting this amp 10 years Later!
OLA!!! Love these amps I have the IRT Studio 15W but it's an absolute beast and super diverse. If you ever get to try one do it!!
Hola Ola!
You have a very old video on the orange th100 but not one on the th30. I think we need a will it chug for the th30.
@Ola Englund do the engl powerball mk1 would be awesome see what tones you can get fron that 🤘
thank you for this newer version of review! can you please do a new review of VHT/Fryette Sig:X ?
Awesome video as always Ola! We're glad you still like the Ironheart!
its easy to like really good amp

@@ericsmith6633 agreed man!!
I think these are super underrated. I have the studio ironheart and it's amazing.
I think it's fairly rated. I rate it very low and some would rate it high. Somewhere in the middle would be fair. I think it sounds really crappy.
I have the studio irt and sounds f***ing amazing with the Fortin 33!
I covered Ola's own song using that same amp 😁 recording through a mic too. No seperate IR and stuff
I’m with you , Just the tube driven DI makes my recordings sound so much better than just plugged in through the Scarlett
@@sabahoudini not enough gain. Weird high end with no squish or complexity to the low end. It absolutely hated a number of my guitars- sound okay with a few. This is just my opinion though.
Flipped it for a 6505mh and am much more satisfied
I’d love to see Solar do a “classic” version of this guitar, with the longer scale length, white binding, etc. such an iconic look.
Y'know I could've sworn there was a Type S that had the white binding but looking at the sight I can't find it anymore. You're right though, classic look and with an Evertune or a Floyd, got dam
i love my Ironheart i have recorded everything from country, blues, metal and jazz such a versatile & underrated Amp.

I would love to see Laney making a Signature version handcrafted in the UK with improved components like the transformer, the valves, capacitors, etc
@@daagaarasplaysvideogames980 yeah for sure!

I'm pretty sure, the Laney Ironheart was the first video of yours I watched. Hooked since. Never change!
I just watched your old videos about Ironheart and within hours, you posted this!!!
Did you read my mind Ola?????
Feared intro 👌
A few years ago when VST amp sims were not as common I thought about buying the IRT-Studio, basically the 15W rack version of this. The Ironheart stuff just sounds so ballsy and full, perfect for any style. That said, modelers and plugins are the future so I never went for it

All I use with that is a Maxon OD808 and a Noisegate and your set. What I find astonishing about this amp is the very cear clean tone and in general the versatility you have.
I got this exact amp back in the day cause of your and Keith Merrow's demos of it. I really dig it, does exactly what I need it to do. 🤘Still working perfectly to this day.
It sounds really good. It's not an amp I think of often, but this setup seems to sit super well in the mix.
Nothing beats a seven string 👌🏻
I'm in love with that guitar, man that's a beauty right there
Has it really been ten years? I remember this like it was yesterday.. 23 and was just learning how to record. Thanks for showing us all pointers back then Ola. Thanks to you, recording was possible for me. Thanks again Ola! (btw the intro song brought back hella memories) \m/
man Ive been watching forever lol, that last Laney Ironheart literally feels like yesterday, Cant wait for the next Laney in another 10,
I love my Ironheart 🖤 This is newer model as the logo has been updated. I have a 60 watt version, and I also use mine as a bass amp sometimes. I think the matching can prob isn’t worth it, so get a decent one.

I truly regret having sold mine (120W + x4 Cabinet), one of the best amp I ever had.
And back then, in 2012, I was hesitating with 2 others cabinet, your video convinced me to take it, I went to my local store, they had one, I tried it and ended up purchasing it :)
Love this amp … great show and tell sir ..👍👏
Just discovered your vids and loving em bro! Just bought a new guitar after 8 year (🤔 I think) hiatus and learning a lot. Got my hands on a Peavey Vypyr thanks to you 👍 Cheers man 🍻😄
Man, that's nostalgic!
Thanks the sick riffage! 🤘
Hola Ola... great video... incredible performance... thank you very much... saludos...!
