Iommi Laney Cabs Specs.

Sabbath brotherhood where art thou???

The Supergroup/AOR era cabs, what are the detailed specs, wiring, speakers, magnets, insulation ? wood ? What's out there that you can get today and mod your JCM900 1960A cab to get to those specs as close as possible. Thanks.

It's my understanding that Iommi is now using Celestion Heritage G12H30's in his cabinets. I'd just put those in a 4X12.

Apologies for my ignorance, but what's "Supergroup/AOR"?

A model of Laney head that Tony Iommi used in Black Sabbath.

All I know is that he used and still uses the G12H/G12H30 speaker.

The Laney Supergroup is from the early seventies, just post Plexi era. The AORs are from the 80s hair metal souped up JCM era. 2 different birds, although I would guess the cabinets are very similar.

I haven't played through any of the Supergroup era cabs, but I would bet that they are pretty much inch for inch Marshall cabinet clones with H&H or Fane speakers. You should be able to get the same sound from a Marshall cab with G12Hs.

My <$0.02..., take it FWIW.

AOR = Advanced Overdrive Response. FWIW.

I've got a superb, never-sell-a-keeper Laney AOR Pro-Tube 50 watt. The first 6 knober generation.

And no, Supergroups were not HH or Fane speakers the were Goodmans.
