Notes about the 'One Song' series:
The idea for the 'One Song' series came about when I was trying to come up with a cool idea for my next EPIC/MEGA amp comparison with around 30 amps. So I came up with the idea of writing a song in multiple styles that would do a good job of 'testing' the versatility of an amp. It would start clean and end with metal. And I thought it could be interesting to use multiple guitars, so one for each section. Then I realised that it would be cool to release each amp's video individually first and when I'm all done I'll upload a compilation that would essentially be similar to all my other mega comparisons, including all the timecodes etc. This will be called: 'One Song, 30 Amps!'.
So that's the plan basically! However, I'm also planning on running the song through some modeling platforms to also demo those and see how well they can work with all the material in the song.
I've chosen to NOT use the same IRs for each segment this time because I want to use cab tones that the amps are 'comfortable' with. So don't view this as a direct comparison of the amps per say, but view it as an amp showcase that also allows you to hear how the amps function inside the song or inside the music, of course in comparison to one another in that sense! This will showcase the uniqueness of the amps more, which is more fun imho, and it also allows me to be a little bit more creative when reamping each amp. Plus: some of you guys will say 'they all sound the same' anyway and the different cab sounds will make the amps sound more interesting and unique!
For the metal segment I'll very likely use a boost pedal for most of the amps, just so you metalheads or djentheads can hear how a downtuned baritone with a boost sounds with the amp.
Anyway, I hope you guys will enjoy this series and I hope I made the song interesting enough to listen to it a couple times (because I don't expect anyone to watch all 30 or more amp videos lol).

Every time I'm looking at new amps, you remind me my ironheart is all I ever need.
I got one. It really is.
Contemplating selling my Marshall DSL and ENGL Powerball. My little IRT studio is EVERYTHING.
It's Loud enough for gig in a band?....I Have an Orange cab 2x12
@@Angel-ZX Yes it is
lockedowng, you nailed my thoughts(!). Iwas yesterday gonna exchange it to an Engl amp, then I went like ”why!?”, so here I am, stuck with it again. :) Love it to pieces!
finally a demo video where they aren’t playing the most utterly boring and generic blues rock known to man.. I really appreciate these videos because they actually give me a good feel for how they sound !
EXACTLY. Well said.
Absolutely the most sonically reproduced and informative review on the Laney IRT Studio that I've thus far reviewed (x3 inc this). Now I have a fairly good heads-up on what my newly acquired IRT Studio can do, when I finally collect it.
Nice to see and hear the cross-section of guitars too... An inspired touch.
Thank you!
Awesome job!
Metal tones just sick! Thumbs up for excellent video!
The IRT is one of my favourite amps in my collection. Great video as always, mate.
Saw this and set my amp the same way in all ways,the same you did, and I’m always a laney user now! Thanks for this
Sounds awesome man
Another sick vid sir!
Such a nice music man, honestly!
Take my subscription sir. That was immense . Laney should be paying you for this. You just gained a new fan. Amazing composition. Well done dude . I'm a fan of the song more than the amp tbh but I'm tempted to buy the amp after that anyway 😅
That's a really cool series. Would love to see it with the Laney Irt SLS. Can't decide between the two. Wondering how much the power stage has an influence on sound and feel.
Awesome!
I have the SLS of this and yea, it's pretty amazing. I need to learn to tone shape better. This video shows me that I don't need something else.
Exactly. Arrives today! (or tomorrow)
Excelent sound¡¡¡
this demo is insane, laney should pay you
that's it. i'm getting one.
Used to have one. Siiiick amp
I’d like to see one of these with the IRT SLS model, have you tried that one?! Love your videos!
Классный канал! From Russia with love.
great video . i have a quis, can ir loader pedal could be used in FX loop ?
This was my first amp. Played it also with the fender Jim Root and found my love with blues. Weird but true story. This amp combined with v30 4x12 is really loud. I sold it 😭
So you regret selling it?
@@leo.nordmann yes! But I orientate my gear towards band, live, rehearsal, conditions.
I'm in your shoes now, man!)) Jas bought it + Plus Jim Root Tele)) heh)
Great demo and playing. Those tight rhythms were bad ass. Did you use the Laney's built in impulse responses at all? I'm wondering how they compare
Nice video. Did you use the DI out directly to your computer?
and now i have a problem.. Wich amp to buy? this Ironheart Studio or Ironheart SLS? On the tests they sound the same, but maybe I have missed something?
This has been around awhile so it’s proven itself, but I’m having a hard time choosing this or the new Marshall origin 50w....
Hi! Thank you very much for the video. Is it be possible to use an external guitar tube preamp, run it to the return and use only power amp section?
May I know,is it possible to connect the DI xlr out direct into IR cab sim and by pass the cab emulation built in. this setup for live rig
According to Laney's website, yes the DI has a cab sim that can be switched on or off to use with IR loader.
Is it loud enough for rehearsals with a metal band?
can I use this amp as a USB interface? I mean, can I use a USB Interface + Poweramp (bypassing the preamp) to run through a passive speakers and use amp sims with it? Thanks!
I own the amp, it has Di and USB ouput
Hello!) Do you use parallel reverberation ?
This demo lit my interest to play again with my IRT Studio. Do you use the USB function or via XLR to the interface?
I used an external loadbox
@@SonicDriveStudio ok i have another question, do you feel a difference between using the DI (without cab sim) and using an external loadbox ?
@@mt1843 good reactibe loads will almost always sound better than built in DI outputs tbh
Hey, what do you think this amp is applicable to modern metal, Djent etc ... How is working from 7, 8, 9 strings guitars?
It goes nice with my 7 string guitar¡
I presume the clean channel saturates on high volume? Wondering how it's clean channel compares to a Cub 12 or pro JR? My guess is, it's Laney so it's great? Great video and super tight playing!
Hi man,will it work with a impulse loader pedal with no power amp emulation ?
Take it from me, that's a big yes.
Sounds like all the rest to me... I picked up a Wang HD15 and a Engl Fireball 20 - how would you say this Ironheart differs from those?
The IRT sounds really raw in the mids and is really tight in the low end. He has a pretty unique distortion character in my opinion
@@luca4352 - similar to the Brent Hinds or Jim Root Orange heads perhaps? Those heads have the tightest ‘low gain’ sounds I’ver heard. Interesting because there is the illusion of more gain being present but it’s not... know what I mean? Thanks for the replay
@@oldguyjammin9732 The IRT has a Knob which lets you control the 'sagg' of th sound. It's kinda like a depth knob but it let's you get a really tight bottom end. I haven't played any of these oranges, but you can find a video of the Laney Ironheart 120 fully cranked, staying super tight.
th-cam.com/video/PgEcyX5DHqA/w-d-xo.html
The gain structure however is pretty different from the oranges in my opinion. The Laney doesn't really 'cut' like a marshall would in the high mids. It's rather grainy sounding and sits really well in a mix.
The Laney has pretty much enough gain for any genre, however, I run mine with a DS-2 infront, which makes it even better.
General advise of mine, If you want a tight sound, use another gainstage infront of it like a Overdrive or Distortion pedal. Even a Dual recto can be made kinda tight using this technique.
I hope this answers you question somehow, if not, feel free to reach back.
@@luca4352 - thanks again very much for getting back. I just always wonder if I’m missing something out there :) I sold my Mesa V because it was SO tight that it seemed to lack feel or character. I run OD pedals in front of my Jet City 22, Engl 20 and others. I’m not after the Toni Iomi (sp?) sound by any means, that’s a bit loose. Just always feel like some amp out there might end up being “perfect” even then because of the law of familiarity after two weeks even the perfect amp will end up ‘meh’ til after a month I try it again and think “DAMN! That sounds Great!”
Thanks again, I think I need to try one of these, they sound interesting :)
The ironheart studio without its onboard boost engaged is remarkably lacking in the gain department imo. Also, I find its almost too tight that it ends up feeling solid stateish in the low end. Perhaps it was tuned to be run with low tuned guitars...
The other thing is that you can play around with tube selection .... affects the sound MAJORLY. Comes with Ruby brand. I went with orig Ruby EL 84s , a Tung Sol 12ax7 and then 2 JJ 12AX7s.
The other thing is that the Reverb is very subtle, perfect for metal. 5 years and NEVER had a problem with this, still discovering so much. This little beast tames my 8 string just fine. I downtune to D standard its great!
Used to have one. Regret it since then
First one!)
Sorry for dumb questions, but is this a stand-alone amp; as in, can I just plug with a 1/4" directly into this and THIS unit will produce sounds?
You'll need a cabinet as well
@@SonicDriveStudio I found this amp trying to look for something reasonable for apartment playing, where the dynamics still shine through at lower volumes. Will this do that? Does it have to do w/ the 1w/15w switch? Thanks btw.
@@jsr7599 yes type this in laney irt brown sound on youtube and will be a nice video of a brown sound demonstration on a 1x12 thats what brought me here lol
@@jsr7599 it definitely will do the trick on the 1w setting
Only guitar and amp? Are you using pedals in this video?
Do you think using a Two Notes Captor for direct recording rather than the built in DI and Load would yield better results? Wondering if this feature is useful to me at all, or if I should just plan to continue using the Captor.
I´ve used it with its amp simulation and with an iR and there´s no match, it sounds so much better with the second one
you really dropped the ball on even beginning to explain how you used this... are you recording using the 2 channel usb- it can record one track dry and one track eq'd and tubed up right? is there any onboard amp simulation or is that all digital? are you monitoring with a guitar cab in room are you also mixing a live cab. are you using the revamping at all?
Seeing that he shows the IR in each sample, it is clear he is using impulse responses and not a mic'd speaker or cab in the room. Also, it matters not if you use the USB or the DI out, the cab emulation sits in front of this. The USB only gives you the dry re-amp option, the DI is cab emulated output. All of the gain/distortion is the tube pre-amp section in the amp (ecc83's), reverb/delay effects are post in Helix and the overdrive on the metal tones is a pedal in front of the amp.
@@nudsh On DI`s you can turn off ir emulation thou, there is simple switch near the XLR output.
Sounds like a muddy mess
Oh boy another blues player trying to demo metal. Oh wtf?!? This dudes shreds?
