Laney Ironheart LoudPedal Martin Miller Signature
Laney · pedal
The Laney Ironheart LoudPedal Martin Miller Signature is an unconventional 60-watt, 2-channel amplifier built into an oversized pedal-shaped enclosure designed to sit on a pedalboard in front of a power amp or PA, developed in collaboration with guitarist Martin Miller. It combines Laney's Ironheart voicing with a compact, boardable form factor, aimed at players wanting a full amp-in-a-pedal solution for compact rigs, direct recording, or supplementing an existing amp setup rather than a traditional combo or head.
