Laney Klipp
Laney · amplifier
The Laney Klipp is a 100-watt tube amplifier (with 60-watt variant available) featuring 4 EL34 output tubes and 4 preamp valves with original Partridge transformers. The amplifier provides separate volume controls for clean and overdriven channels, with the Klipp circuit featuring a valve differential amp that delivers gnarly boost when the amp reaches full volume. A distinctive treble boost switch adds versatility across musical styles. The amp can operate at 4, 8, or 16 ohms, and is renowned for delivering warm, organic tone with excellent headroom from its all-tube circuitry. The Klipp's clean channel rivals Marshall amplifiers for sweetness and musicality.
