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
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 !
🤘
I’m in love with mine
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 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
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.
Yeah I just play way more 6-string nowadays. Thanks for the kind words.
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
@@OlaEnglund Thank you for the excellent content on any guitar of your choosing. It’s always helpful.
@@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.
@@ericsmith6633 agreed man!!
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.
The old video inspired me to learn Daddy’s Girl, and get a Laney Ironheart 120. Still have it and love it.
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
Have been using the 60w as my only amp for almost 10 years, and it is still my favorite amp of all time. Clean channel sounds great too.
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.
Goddamn that's great sounding...The dynamics and punch in the intro were sick af!
I like how you make the videos much more now, more confidence, more humor and above all much easier! I love you Ola, greetings from Argentina.
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!
I bought this amp because of your original video, and I love the hell out of it. Thanks for doing what you do.
I was waiting so long for you to bring er back, one of my favorites
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
💯
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!
thank you for this. I've always used the boost and lead channel all the time. I think I need to reconsider my settings.
@@VhangorD2 glad I can help! Hope you get good results adjusting 💪
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.
I remeber buying this amp because of your old demo! So cool to see a rewind haha
man, it's the first video that the sound really impresses me, your mix has evolved a lot, congratulations bro !!
I'm so greatful Ola has reviewed everything I look up. Makes everything easier. Thanks Ola
Bought the 60 watts version a few weeks ago and it sounds great! One of the best metal amps in this price range imo.
I have been wanting to buy an amp by LANeY for so long and I feel good to be able to buy this relatively soon. Awesome 10 years later demo!
LOL!!! Ola....I absolutely LOVE your "eye roll" when you said you are also very humble about it 🤣👍. Keep rockin'! 🤘
The intro meeeen, what was that? 🤩 the sound and the rhythm, I love it, more please!
I was watching some demos a couple of weeks ago and this amp is absolutely kickass!
Yes! I've been looking forward to this
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!
I thought the same, I have the first version of the 60 watts, very good sound for the price and for 3 channels ! 😍 🤘
You should try the irt-sls, its the 15watt, but with a 300 watt Transistor power amp and a lot more features
@@ederiel It is a very solid amp, no matter what version of it you buy.
@@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
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 have this amp, and your video on it was how I found your channel when researching what amp to get.
Awesome playing as always Ola!
great amp and demo Ola, tack mannen
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.
Yess!!! Finally I waited for this long time ago.😀 Laney 4 ever! 👊🏻✌🏻
I'm pretty sure, the Laney Ironheart was the first video of yours I watched. Hooked since. Never change!
Cannot believe people complaining 10 years ago.... I mean... You and merrow are the only 2 TH-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 🤣
Internet gotta internet.
Leon Todd is really really good too. Awesome player, cuts right to the chase. Knows how to squeeze every last drop out of his gear.
Damn, your production skills have come a long way man.
Hell yeah Ola! It’s like a damn throw back to your early days.
Very brutal sounding amp! Lovely tone 🤘
Thanks for your content man
was waiting for this one 😍
So that old Laney video helped me decide to get the IRT60H and also caused me to sub and I've been watching ever since. Also I love this amp!
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 🍻😄
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.
Thanks for the review Ola. I like those Laney Ironhearts so much, I got three of them, the Studio IRT 15W, Combo IRT 30W +112 IRT Cab and the Head IRT60W on Hesu M212. Very versatile and appreciated even by my neighbours, thanks to the built-in powersoak. The clean channel is also worth to be presented. In my opinion, one gets good value and amazing sound for the money.
Love this amp … great show and tell sir ..👍👏
Just got one of these amps. Love it
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!!! 😏✌
Sick Riffs Bro-Hammer!
Love the Ironheart, good stuff Ola
Yes I’ve been waiting for this video since I bought one thanks ola
holy shit this demo was one of the best demos ive ever seen, fucking brutal!!!
Laney is my all time favourite.
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.
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!
Bought one used without really needing it, just because it was stupidly cheap. It has since become my go to metal amp.
I missed out on one with a 2x12 cab for 700 bucks... kept dragging my feet and poof,gone. Poop.
@@chrisdigital Wanna know how much I paid for the IRT60 head (like new)? 250 euros lol.
@@kutnersuicide Wow! Excellent score 🙌
@@kutnersuicide my best bargain has been an MG100HDFX for £30, first amp I bought and still haven’t bought a new one😂
@@tomsmith184
Solid state Marshall amps sound like ass - way too bright, trebly, and digital.
That intro was badass!
15 seconds in the video, compulsive like! Sounds awesome!
Glad to see the S7g make a return!
Loving this series
I just watched your old videos about Ironheart and within hours, you posted this!!!
Did you read my mind Ola?????
That intro was fire 🔥
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.
Wow!! Cristal clear!!
Thanks the sick riffage! 🤘
I really dig this amp , some of my favorite rhythm tones were recorded through this , and for the price thats crazy
Dude, that mix fucking slapped
That is one gorgeous looking guitar.
Holy shit, that amp aounds incredible... Also, that first riff is crushing. In fact, this whole song is pretty amazing.
It sounds really good. It's not an amp I think of often, but this setup seems to sit super well in the mix.
Just got the 60w head a month ago, it’s an amazing head!
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!
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
I personally really liked the sound of the lead channel. To me it sounds more aggressive and just has more bite. Great vid as always!
Don't care what people think ola! Your awesome for that video in 2012 I'm going to check it out to learn more from yu now. Thanks Ola your greatly appreciated 🤘🤘🤘
Had this thing since 2016 and still rockin to this day!
@@KhaosWarrior6662 not yet
@@KhaosWarrior6662 yep or more…
sick tones!
You have reminded me of very good times. Headbang at work.
I got the same amp. Love it!
Hola Ola... great video... incredible performance... thank you very much... saludos...!
Pretty sweet that you dusted off the Strictly 7 for this vid too. Love the look of that guitar so much.
Some really tasty riffs in this intro, damn!
Fierce another awesome vid
I'm in love with that guitar, man that's a beauty right there
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.
man Ive been watching forever lol, that last Laney Ironheart literally feels like yesterday, Cant wait for the next Laney in another 10,
Awesome video.
I love my IRT-60H, which ive owned since they were released. Great amp, versatile, can actually manage any genre well, i wouldnt gig or do a studio session without it as an option! =)
nice to see the Ironheart getting some love. i have the 15W Studio version. best bang for the buck home studio amp imo.
That intro song had some of the sickest riffs holy crap
"Ten Years After" was a great band! 🎶🎸
Hell yes.
It's okay Ola you were doing good 10 years ago and you are doing great today with your videos.
🤘on and stay strong.
Finally!!! I love mine!
Seems to be a great coincidence, I bought mine an hours ago!
I have one. I love it!
I have the 30watt and just love it. Very versatile.
Hey Ola I need that 7 sting bro. Killer tone! Love the Laney stuff would love to see an Iommi series’s
Such an underrated amp in my opinion!
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 :)
That’s an awesome Guitar man. Sounds amazing!! 3:43 sounded like a bee. That amp has a killer tone. You’re pretty knarley man!!🤘🔥
Man, that's nostalgic!
The tone is spot on
Oh man we also get classic Ola riffing! Fucking nostalgia trip.
