The Laney Ironheart IRT-SLS is a three-channel 300-watt amplifier head from the Ironheart range, and the highest-powered model in the line. Where the smaller Ironhearts are all-valve designs in the 30 to 60 watt bracket, the SLS pairs the Ironheart preamp voicing with a much larger power section for players who need substantial stage volume and headroom. Its three channels cover clean, rhythm and lead, spanning clean tones through to the saturated high gain the range is built around. Laney has produced amplifiers in Birmingham since 1967, and the Ironheart line is its modern metal-oriented series. It suits metal and hard rock players working at significant stage volume.
The Peavey Invective MH is a 20-watt all-valve mini head designed with Periphery's Misha Mansoor, distilling the larger Invective into a portable lunchbox. It pairs a pristine clean channel with a tight, modern high-gain lead channel derived from the 6505 lineage, adding an onboard noise gate, a boost, an MSDI cab-sim direct output, and effects loops aimed at progressive metal and djent players.
