INTRODUCTION
1969. The year Heavy Metal was born. Integral to that explosion of power and attitude
was a humble guitar amp in the hands of the one-and-only Mr Tony Iommi. The amp?
The Laney Supergroup.
The LA100BL Supergroup was unleashed on the world in 1967; while everyone else
was celebrating the summer of love, Laney had visions of the future
– a future birthed
from the tonal prowess of Tony. Several reissues and special editions later, we fast forward to 2022
and that very same amp is back; better-than-ever and retrofitted with everything the modern player
demands.
Introducing the LA-STUDIO, a 3W fully featured, tube driven tone machine. Based on the now
legendary LA30BL hea
d, it’s drive n by 3 ECC83 preamp tubes and a single 12BH7 power tube. Of
course, there’s a fully reactive load box built-in to guarantee totally silent operation at home too.
Not only that we’ve partnered up with Two notes, world leaders in cabinet emulation, to include their
Torpedo technology to make this a tool at home in any studio, home and even live on stage.
The LA-STUDIO, all the classic looks, tone and feel of a truly vintage style and sounding head but
filled with cutting edge technology. The LA-STUDIO offers you real hot tubes, real hot tone, real feel,
and real dynamics.
Why the LA-STUDIO.
The LA-STUDIO is a vintage designed low wattage, great sounding tube amp, something we are very
proud of. The LA-
STUDIO’s design comes from a heritage of amp design where everything about
building an amp was done in the pursuit of tone.
Vintage amps have a particular sound and feature set to them which we have stayed faithful to. The
LA-STUDIO is a very straight forward amp
– a single channel, no reverb, no FX loop and just the right
amount of gain to be driven to the edge of breakup then pushed over the edge into glorious tube
distortion by your favourite drive pedals, sat where they should be on the floor in front of your amp.
So why no FX loop? To build an FX loop into a guitar amp you must break the signal path at a
convenient point to insert the FX loop. The unique and pleasing tonal character of a vintage amp
comes from the interaction between a preamp and the power amp and having nothing in-between to
break that interaction produces the best tone
– full stop.
The LA-STUDIO is primarily designed for use in a recording studio and in particular a home recording
set-up. In most modern recording situations, effects are added within a DAW. So, the fact that the unit
does away with an FX loop in the pursuit of the ultimate tone is not an issue when it comes to using
FX.
Tone is everything.
The LA-STUDIO is THE REAL PLUGIN.
