Laney Ironheart Foundry Leadtop 60W Head
Laney · amplifier
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.
