Laney Iommi TI15-112, Operating Instructions Manual

Page: 9 / 20

“It began with a clap of thunder and a tolling bell. Then, as a heavily
distorted guitar played a diminished fifth – an interval once banned
by the Roman Catholic church for being the Devil’s interval – a
male voice started to wail as if from the grave…… and music was
never the same again.”
The date was February 13, 1970 and the album was Black Sabbath by
Black Sabbath – the guitarist was Tony Iommi and the distorted
th
diminished 5 sound was a Laney LA100BL.
Since this auspicious day Laney’s association with Tony Iommi has gone
from strength to strength resulting in multiple signature models over a
span of 20 years including the original GH100TI, and the newly
introduced TI100.
We are extremely proud of our association with Tony Iommi and very
happy to be able to announce a new Tony Iommi signature amp – the
TI15-112.
Based on Tony Iommi’s new TI100 head, the TI15-112 was created for Tony to use for practice and warm-ups -
providing the same great tone at lower volume levels.
Born out of an exhaustive period of product development, carried out hand in hand with Tony, bringing unique insight,
suggestions and innovations at every stage whilst continually assessing and refining the sonic character of guitar tone.
The TI15-112 features high and low power input sockets that allow you to crank it up for gigs, or dial it back for
bedroom practice, while driving the amp as hard as possible All finished off with Tony’s trademark livery.
There are very few chances in life to claim a first, many people can claim to be the biggest or the fastest but
only one person can claim to be the first. In the case of Heavy Metal …….the first Heavy Metal guitar tone
was crafted by Tony Iommi and powered by Laney.
