The Laney Ironheart Foundry Leadtop is a 60-watt guitar amplifier head from the Ironheart Foundry range, the newer and more compact expression of Laney's high-gain Ironheart line. As the Leadtop it is voiced around lead and high-gain sounds rather than offering a broad clean-to-crunch spread, making it the more focused option next to the two-channel Dualtop in the same range. At 60 watts it has enough output for club and stage use. Laney has built amplifiers in Birmingham since 1967, and the Ironheart series represents its modern metal-oriented voicing. It suits metal and hard rock players who want a compact high-gain head rather than a full-featured multi-channel amplifier.
The Laney Ironheart IRT30-112 is a 30-watt three-channel all-valve 1x12 combo from the Ironheart range, the series Laney built around high-gain capability and versatility for heavy music. Its three channels cover clean, rhythm and lead, so it spans clean tones through to the saturated high-gain sounds the range is known for without needing pedals. At 30 watts in a single-twelve combo it is practical for rehearsal, clubs and studio work. Laney has built amplifiers in Birmingham since 1967, and the Ironheart line represents its modern metal-oriented voicing rather than the British classic-rock tones of the Lionheart range. It suits metal, hard rock and progressive players.
