To me, I felt like the Ironheart was what I wished the 6505 was. It had more useable features (I feel like the features are not just for show, I feel like they are all useable and make the amplifier better), better clean channel, and more sounds I liked out of it

Another great vid demoing interesting gear and showcasing your fantastic playing. Like Orange amps, I've never played thru a Laney amp either but always wanted to. When I think of Laney, I immediately think of Tony Iommi (one of my early influences). Someone else said this already that this Laney sounds like it has EL34's rather than 6L6's because of its nice midrange. That tight/loose control is really cool. Lots of other knobs and controls to fiddle with though that are probably unnecessary. I'd always prefer a simple, vintage-style, single channel Marshall. Cheers!

Morjes Euge! Nyt on pakko heittää kommentti ja kiittää. I bought an IRT30 one year ago, a 30W combo version of Ironheart. It sounded ok but not great. I had really hard time dialing it in with all those push and pulls and whatnots. Tried everything! The sound just did not come alive and responsive no matter how I boosted it. Today I checked out this video and noticed that you were running the channel volume quite high, about seven. All this time I thought that the "attenuator" pot was master volume but it 's not, it's the channel volume! So I cranked the channel volume to 7 and holy mother of matadords did that thing blast! I used the attenuator on the Ironheart and an additional volume pot on fx loop to drop the overall volume to family-friendly-level and it still sounded really, really nice. Like a different amp.

Cool amp. I think it's really cool when amps, pedals, equipment etc have switch with extra options. In this case, the push pull of the equalizer is very interesting, especially for studio recordings, allowing you to layer guitars with small frequency variations.

I swapped the JJ Ruby 6L6 tubes out for JJ Ruby EL34's which was a great learning experience. I really learned the difference between these kinds of tubes and preferred the EL34's with the IRT60 that I had. Very cool feature that Laney baked into the amp. I ended up getting a Marshall DSL100HR which I really preferred in every way over the IRT60.

Have had this much underrated amp for about a year now but have been trying to dial it in at reasonable levels to respect the wife and neighbors. Being that I am a bedroom player, do you have any suggestions regarding the settings with the wattage control around 9 or 10 o'clock? It seems the tonal qualities are different at lower settings.

Thanks for the video man, as always great content and presentation. Keep them coming! On another note, for some reason, my 20 Watt JCM800 suddenly lost clarity, and sounds mushy (maybe noisy?), even when gain isn’t too high. I think it also lost some mids and high end, though not particularly confident about this. I’ve only had the amp for about 6 months and I bought it brand new. Could this be due to power tubes going bad? I wasn’t sure if this is the case since I’ve only had the amp for ~6months. Not sure if you have any video about diagnosing amp issues or signs of tubes going bad, could also be a good video idea if not. Thanks much man. Keep on rocking 🤘🎸

Thanks! Sounds like a tube issue so I’d take that to a qualified amp tech. With tube amps you never know how long they’ll last. Sometimes they’re done faster and sometimes they could last a few years.

Ironheart Studio basically has a built in Two Notes Captor. You can record DI (no amp, no speaker) AND record amped DI (with or without speaker sim). Has a re-ramp input. Built in load box .. can be played without a speaker. Has EL84 tubes 1W or 15W. I run a DOD graphic equalizer to bump the lows to mimic the 6L6 thump. Can drive a 4x4 .. and your master would be on 8 or 9 with a live drummer .. so your tubes would be really cooking !!!!

It looks like the Ironheart is using a Different type of transformer on the right side, I believe its called a Toroidal transformer, probably being used as the the power transformer as I am seeing pictures of the back panel and the power cable is on that side in the rear. Still using a typical transformer on the output section, where as the 5150 of course uses a traditional transformer for both power and output sections. It sounds very unique to me.

The LANEY IronHeart IRT60H has a toroidal transformer which is smaller but better. Just because those transformers have less hum. I prefer my IronHeart IRT30 with EL34 power tubes. Unfortunately mine is a combo, it needed to be rebiased and there a many many screws to remove which is pretty nasty! I also own a Mesa Boogie .50 Caliber+ head and even with Mercury Magnetics transformers I can hear a little bit oh hum coming from the speakers.

I love my IRT60, but a subjective question: would you spend the extra money for a EVH5150 6L6? (I like indie, to high gain punk to melodic hardcore)

They’re both great amps and has a similar vibe, at least IMO, but one can never have too many tube amps so why not 😎.

@WholeLottaBulldog 2 жыл бұрын

Its a great amp with one major drawback in my opinion. That is the input buffers; they hate being slammed and refuse to saturate like a 5150. Instead if you drive them too hard the preamp clips into farty fuzz territory. Great vid Euge.

use 2 or 3 clean boost pedals in the effects loop and it will open the amp up and give plenty gain. high end pickups help too.

@oli8624 2 жыл бұрын

I own a ironheart 60 and it's awesome to see how it compares to those well known sounds from a 5150 or 800. A thing i noticed though is that the gain starts to get flubby when its at about 1 o'clock and the boost is on more then 10 o'clock. Is this only on my amp or does yours do that as well?

@luca4352 2 жыл бұрын

It's normal on the 60watt and 120watt heads. It almost sounds like the preamp can't take the amount of gain and compresses really hard. Funny, on my IRT studio it is not this way.

@@luca4352 My 10 yr old IRT120H is the same. I keep the boost at around 10 to 11 o’clock, works great. The loop is really good and run a Empress ParaEQ (shaping and boost), Zuul and Delay there. The amp is biased cold from the factory so it can switch between 6L6 and EL34’s (bias switch on back of amp). I run Tube Store preferred 6L6’s and rebased the amp much hotter which adds more body to the sound. Really opens up even more. You have to add this bias mod to the 5150 to the same effect. Cut the gain a bit and it makes a decent pedal platform as well. SD-1 and Grind works great on rhythm channel too. More versatile than a stock 5150 IMHO.

@luca4352 2 жыл бұрын

@@rjw7032 The boost is more like a second gain control with a slightly different flavor. It's not really tightening anything up or boosting mids (it doesn't need a boost for tightness anyways). Most of the time I run an Boss SD1 infront. Gain on amp set to around 11 o clock, pre boost is almost always off. When I need ridiculous amounts of gain i set it to noon max. I almost only use the lead channel though

@@EugeValovirta230V yes, awesome answers from everybody 🤘 happy to know that my amp is working as intended. Also I tried the amp with using a Boss SD-1 instead of the built in boost. This allows me to krank the volume on the pedal and the gain of the amp as well without the amp getting flubby. Also it sounds a lot more like a 5150 this way to my ears.

with eq in the loop laney sounds like bigger boys????

@Boogieplex Жыл бұрын

The Laney is almost perfect,EXCEPT that damn boost. I would describe it more like a fuzz,especially higher settings. It doesn’t tighten anything up, it makes the amps circuitry overload, but not in a pleasant way. Great idea, failed implementation. Now, if they just put a classic TS style boost, it’s a win.

Glad to hear! I haven’t tried the 100 w but in general the bigger the amp - the bigger the transformers, more tubes and just a bigger sound in general 😎💪. But it doesn’t mean necessary the better; for example I like the 50 watt 1987x Marshall Plexi a bit more than the 100 watt one.
