Laney Cub Super 10
Laney · amplifier
The Laney Cub Super10 is a single-ended Class A, 6-watt all-tube combo powered by two ECC83/12AX7 preamp tubes and one EL84 output tube, paired with a 10-inch HH custom speaker, larger than the Cub8's 8-inch driver. It replaced the earlier Cub 10 model, switching from that amp's 6V6 power tube to an EL84, giving a different harmonic character alongside a built-in boost function for pushing into overdrive. Positioned above the entry-level Cub8 in Laney's tube combo lineup, with more preamp gain stages and a larger speaker.
