Members hcprimerib Posted June 10, 2011 Members Share Posted June 10, 2011 Just re-acquired a Laney VH100R. Why did I ever get rid of my old one? I love the voicing of these amps. So many options. I seriously don't know how the new Ironheart is going to top the VH100R. / of csb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Chrisjd Posted June 10, 2011 Members Share Posted June 10, 2011 The Ironheart will be on my buy list when it comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members timmyfirst Posted June 10, 2011 Members Share Posted June 10, 2011 VH100r is a powerhouse of great tones! The Ironheart does that VH100 sound, but it also has another drive channel thats more modern voiced and designed to handle lower tunings while still giving great definition. I've heard them both side by side and they're both great amps, the ironheart is probably that bit more flexible though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Norton666 Posted June 10, 2011 Members Share Posted June 10, 2011 Laney makes GREAT amplifiers. The problem is that in the US , they have the worst resale value of any amp company I can think of. Because of this , myself and other dealers dont really stock them anymore. Its awfully hard to sell a now GH100l for $1199 when you can find a mint used one for $450-$500. The other problem is that they arent pushed by their distributor. Laney in the US is the same company as BC Rich , Kustom , Michael Kelly , Traben etc. Very few of the reps have even played a Laney and they are well aware of how hard they are to sell so they dont even present the Laney line to potential dealers.

Members Valtiel Posted June 10, 2011 Members Share Posted June 10, 2011 Loved my VH100R LOOOONNG time. Clean channel w/ boost engaged and a Keeley SD-1 hitting the front was the best blues lead tone i'd ever had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
