Laney Tube Amps For Metal?

Re: Laney Tube Amps For Metal?

Well in the seventies he might have been using Marshalls

A little bit, but not much. Marshalls were mostly in the 80s. He also used a Mesa Mark III for a couple of albums.

I thought he was big on Orange back in those early days?

He hated Orange. The only time he used them was for a music video shoot, and that's because they belonged to the club where the video was shot.

On topic....

The GH100TI sounds alot like a Mesa Mark III with a slightly more aggressive tone and a more British flavour to it. It was almost as aggressive as my Rectifier, was definatly tighter, and still had a big bottom end. It's also the loudest amp I've ever owned/used. It It sounds nothing like an 80s Marshall anything. If you can't get a metal tone from that amp you're simply too much of a p*ssy to be playing metal.

Mastodon use them. They're pretty metal.

When I saw Mastodon in Cincinnati shortly after Blood Mountain came out, they were using a Dual Rec and what looked like a Marshall Plexi.

I like how he apologizes for his sloppy playing, then proceeds to smoke 99% of the guitarists out there.

I hear a lot of the GH100TI in the Engl amps.

Laney's can easily do metal (except maybe whining thin buzzy metal sounds) but I mean a brand with Tony Iommi having a signature amp has to be metal. These amps created metal and the new laney's are way more high gain then the 70's ones while still being organic and thick.

The best player I know runs dry into a Laney with his band. His band covered Holy Wars to perfection and the guy nailed all of Marty's leads.. I was in awe, but I digress.

Some of those Laneys are bad-ass.
