Re: Laney Iommi GH100TI ?
This won't help much, but if it's the same amp he used on tour with Heaven & Hell this summer, it's incredible. One of the best sounding amps I've heard live for that kind of music. It still didn't nail the tone for The Mob Rules though, lol. Whatever amp he used on that recording was "perfect" imo.

Re: Laney Iommi GH100TI ?
IMO, it's like they crossed a British flavoured amp with a Mesa Mark III.
It's very capable of sounding extremely heavy. It also does a reasonably good job of cleaning up with a turn of the guitar's volume knob. It's actually quite a nice sounding clean amp too if you keep the gain turned right down, but lets face it, you're not looking at this amp because you want to keep the gain turned down on it, are you?

yeah, I want fender cleans... NOT! LOL
I'm just looking for something a little heavier; for basically a hot hodded amp like this with some versatility. a Laney 4X12 with Celestion Heritage G12H30s would be nice too with more low end rumble.

I think that was a customized 100 watt Marshall Plexi that had an extra gain stage added. I just love the tone on Heaven and Hell and Mob Rules albums.

almost....../\
he used laneys unil the mid 80's, when suppliers to laney churned out crap. then he got back with them in 1992.
but to get his tone, you need to copy his rack and effects too. theres alot behind the stage and you wont get his sound by simply setting his amp to his same settings.

Re: Laney Iommi GH100TI ?
I really love Iommi tone too, especially on his IOMMI solo album. Great tones... I went to check out a laney VH100R, presumably the flagship of the GH series or such, and I was unhappy to notice that it really didn't deliver. But I've heard others use them for quite nice tones. Maybe it's just my playing/ears/whatever. But do try the whole GH series out.
