HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 май 2021
- So guys you've wanted a very versatile tube/Valve amp that sounds great as is but also takes pedals really well..............look no further peeps, this is it!
the Laney Cub Super Top 15 has arrived
wow, that tone when you dialed in the overdrive pedals !
Wow! What a great amp head. I've looked at everything from the Fender 65 Twin reverb amp to a harley benton 15w tube amp to the Joyo Bandamp and now this amp head. It is absolutely amazing! Love your playing. Great demo. The clean tone is what I'm looking for, but the other sounds are killer as well. Total beginning player.
Yeah mate this is the one. Affordable and ultimately playable. And also thank you for the kind words man 🤘🏼🧟🤟🏼
Love your stuff Paul, Thks, Steve from Australia!
Aw thanks man, really try to be a none corporate none funded approach to gear, to many channels have a store to please. This is a channel for the gear nerd 🤓 by a gear nerd. Thanks again for you support broseph. X
Great review and monster player. I didnt buy the head(wish i could) but I bought the cab to use with my ht1rmk2 and orange micro dark. The sound is glorious. The speaker is very good. The finish on the cab is amazing also. Laney🔥🤘🏻
Thank you dude, really means alot to me to hear you like my playing and the channel. Glad to hear your also having a great experience 👍🤘🧟♂️🤘
I came across this rig yesterday. The key thing for me was it weighing about a third of the Blues Deluxe I currently own!! Gonna try it next week.
How did you get on Bob? 🤘🧟♂️🤘
Great demo, great playing, great amp....I've just ordered one on the strength of this vid! Ace :-)
Thanks man, sorry for the late reply my youtube app is playing up 🤘🧟♂️🤘
great review, i have this head now and must admit sound killer, as with Les paul, Strat or P90. Surprise even with boost on it cleans up very nicely plaing with the volume pot from the guitar
Its a monster and thats you for the props buddy 🤟🧟♂️🤟
Great demo and lovely playing. You’ve almost convinced me to go for this over the Marshall sc20c…. And it’s way cheaper. Thank you.
Almost? Lol yeah these little guys are one to watch out for. Whatever amp you end up with man, have a blast. Thanks for the kind words.and the comment buddy. 🤘🧟♂️🤘
great review. Lovely neck on that ibanez!!!!!
Ibanez ought to thank you too. I have a Strat and an SG and that Ibanez sounds better than I expected. Livelier pickups.
Thanks man, means a lot to me for you guys to dig what Iam doing here 🤟🏼🧟🤟🏼
It seems like there's a lot of competition out there for high gain sounds at a lower wattage at very affordable prices. Great sounding amp.
There is man and this one should not be overlooked. Iam building a mini amp wall at my home studio, so peavey invective, prs mt15, marshall studio 800, mini recto etc etc and this thing hangs with all of them at a fraction of the cost. Its brilliant even though i am bias iam still honest. 🤟🧟♂️🤟
@@PaulGlover Have you tried Ceriatone amps? They make some fantastic high gain low wattage amps as well as 50 and 100 watt monsters.
@@gtrman69777 no buddy, where are they based?
@@PaulGlover I believe they are made in Malyasia. I know that sounds strange but they are supposed to be very high quality at a very decent price. There are dozens of videos here on RUclips of people raving about them. They make an amp called the Son of Yeti that I think would be right up your alley. I love that name too. LOL.
@@gtrman69777 ill reach out to them buddy see if i can do a head to head lol pun intended lol 🤟🧟♂️🤟
Damn. Im looking at adding another mini head to the collection at the end of the year. Bit disappointed with the sound of the Friedman BE OD Mini tbh, but im now stuck between this and the Marshall SV20 Plexi.
This!!!!! 🤟🧟♂️🤟
Laney killing it with the Cub series. Almost a shame I’m a bass man… almost 😅
Great video! I love this amp! Nice tones you got dialed in. I’ve owned my Laney super cub 15 and 2x12 cab since the Feb/March of last year and this amp is so sweet! Very usable at the 1watt plug and I live in an apartment in NYC and it doesn’t bother my neighbors. I love you can push the tubes at 1watt and get some crunchy/saturated gain tones.
Your on it man, great little amp. Good to have you here man 🤘🧟♂️🤘
@@PaulGlover thank you for having me man! Yeah it’s an awesome amp from Rock, Blues, To Funk and R&B Soul. It’s a Swiss Army knife
Great review and great playing as well , do you think this amp could do 80s heavy metal ??
For days, this little thing is amazing. Plus it takes pedals really well so you could always embellish using stomp boxes. 🤘🧟♂️🤘
Cool vid man. Sweet playing too. Of course just Subscribed 👍
I've just seen one of these heads with the matching 1x12 Laney cab both in mint condition as new and the guy wants £350 for quick sale.
I'm very tempted as I'm looking for a good back up amp that doesn't weigh as much as my holy grail 1973 Bassman Ten Silverface housed in a custom 1x12 enclosure with a Eminence Swamp Thang speaker.
Could this head and the 1x12 Laney cab keep up with a decent solid drummer and bass player? If yes I'm considering grabbing it as the amp sounds wicked 🔥
Yeah man I'd say so. Thanks for the sub dude, much appreciated 🤘🧟♂️🤘 that's a sweet deal man.
Great review, thanx !! Do you think it’s usable in an apartment, or nonsense ?… I’m hesitating with the combo version but this one seems to sound better and looks so cool. 😁
Thanks !!
Yeah man these things sound great at lower volumes buddy 🤟🧟♂️🤟
@@PaulGlover Then I’m gonna run for it !! Many thanks ! 👍🏻😁🎉
@@francoismichel5292 its a little beast, well done man. 🤟🧟♂️🤟
I still use my L5-studio :)
And so you should, killer amp!!! 🤟🧟♂️🤟
If you had to choose between the two, which would you go for and why? I know totally different price points but that aside, L5 just seems that much better....or is it??
Reason I ask, I have a peavey invective MH but finding I've just got too much gain on the dirty channels. Rather than trying my luck to find a pedal, thinking I might just get myself a 2nd amp cos why not EY haha
Is this head and matching 2x12 loud enough for a classic rock band with a hard hitting drummer
I'd say yes they are very loud 🤘🧟♂️🤘
Is this amp really as good as it seems? I mean on paper it seems too good to be true. Right now it’s $650 for a 15 watt tube head, FX loop, power scaling options, reverb seems good and usable. Boost channel. I’m thinking about pairing this head with a premium Port City cabinet which looks stunning. I’m sure the setup would be tasty
God damn tasty my friend....and yes they are amazing Amos, so versatile, small, loud and sound great with or without pedals. 🤘🧟♂️🤘
I have a 2 x 12 cab in the speakers are mark 1265 does that make them 12 inch and 65 watts
Sounds like a winner to me 🤘🧟♂️🤘
Very JCM 800ish
Is the power led flashing a fault? I saw some mention it on other demos
I don't know dude, can't recal it flashing lol 🤘🧟♂️🤘
That’s the frame rate, it’s a LED pilot light and they do that with certain frame rates when video’d.
Great demo and playing, thanks for this. This ticks so many boxes for me, but that lack of headroom seems disconcerting. Do you feel like it runs out too quickly to be a semi-decent pedal platform?
Noob questions: What’s meant by “headroom” & “running out too quickly”?
@@misanthrope8699 Old comment, I know, but I'll answer it anyway. Headroom is the distance between clean and distortion. An amp with low headroom will start distorting at a low volume and low gain setting. An Amp with high headroom will have a wider range on the gain knob between super clean, clean with tiny amount of grit, mild crunch, crunch, heavy crunch, distortion, heavy distortion, then completely overdriven. (Low headroom amps can also distort with a lower volume setting.)
Low headroom = more drastic sound with distortion and tone while only turning gain and volume knobs a tiny amount.
High Headroom= Turning the gain volume knob more only gradually effects distortion, allowing for more tonal possibilities and more sweet spots on various settings.
Low wattage amps tend to have lower headroom.
Higher wattage amps tend to have higher headroom.
A 100 watt 5150 EVH amp puts out about the same volume of a 40 watt 5150 amp. If the volume output of these two amps are basically the same, then what is the difference? Headroom, the amount of distance between clean tones and heavy tones on the gain and volume knobs. The 40 watt will distort sooner at lower gain settings, and the 100 watt will stay cleaner longer before the serious gain kicks in.
Headroom can also affect the dynamics when picking, such as when picking soft or picking hard. Low headroom tends to have less dynamics when picking, and high headroom tends to have a wider range of dynamics when picking.
I hope this helps.
Edit: High headroom and low headroom is neither good nor bad. It's just a thing. Both styles of amplifiers definitely serve their purposes well.
@@legacyShredder1 To add to this a bit, headroom in a valve amp can be further split into input headroom and power amp headroom. An amp with low input headroom, even with a lot of power, will get dirtier rather than louder when the input is slammed.
@@Robstafarian I would agree.
The first thing that came to mind than your face turned up in this video was opeth😂you looked a little bit like Mendez i think 🤘
Can you use the head without connecting a speaker, ie just going from line out
That's a really good question.....I don't know ow buddy? I'd say yes like L5 and SLS but I'd check with your local dealer 🤘🧟♂️🤘
No, this amp does not have an internal load.
The volume of this head is loud, 2 only is already too loud. Is this normal?
Yes depending on your use cade. They are 5ube heads so tend yo be louder than solid state. You can use a volume pedal in thw effects loop to lover the out put level without messing with thw preamp or power amp volume tone 🤘🧟♂️🤘
Czy lampy są zamontowane z dołu do góry czy odwrotnie?
Whatever you said dude.........what does this say lol 😆
Z Tłumacza Google nie znam polskiego:
W głowicy wzmacniacza lampy montuje się najczęściej w pozycji pionowej, od obudowy do góry obudowy.
hi wat is the best speaker for this head?
I am loving this head through my Laney IRT 2x12 cab, the speakers are custom HH drivers and sound enormous with this head and are very well priced. Ive also used v30 loaded 4x12s but they are very bright, sound great for recording but for live use id go with the Laney IRT cabs. 🤟🧟♂️🤟
@@PaulGlover thx for the reply, do u think greenbacks pairing with this head a good choice?
@@b.gilbertl2923 dont think ive tried mate them buddy so wouldnt like to comment. This amp has amazing EQ so i dont think you can go wrong buddy. 🤟🧟♂️🤟
Paul, so it’s around 1 year on from the review and it looks like this head & cab can be had for about £500. What do you make of it now and does the fact that the cabinets are made from MDF make any difference to the sound or tone?
Still the same feelings dude, a monster amp. MDF is not an issue buddy the cabs are tuned to the head and sound amazing, I've tried mine with Marshall, peavey, mesa and PRS and the thing just kicks ass. 🤘🧟♂️🤘
MDF tends to be heavier and much more sensitive to moisture, compared to baltic birch (on the heavier end of normal) and pine (on the lighter end of normal). Keep your cab out of the rain, and you should be fine.
Does it chug? Can it thrash?
Throw a tubescreamer at it dude and it will smash. Works so well will extended range and drop tunings. I love this little b**tard 🤘🧟♂️🤘
Can it also take fuzz for stoner doom?
@@TheDistortionPrinciple yeah man it's a Swiss army knife. 🤘🧟♂️🤘
@@PaulGlover thanks! Great channel btw
@@TheDistortionPrinciple thank you so much dude 🤘🧟♂️🤘
Why does mine sound louder than yours when mine is on 1 watt and yours is on 15?
It was balanced at the project level in logic mate, was loud and meaty in the room. 🤘🎅🤘
This Belt looks strange ; )
pedal? Are you kidding me?
@@AnnoyingCritic-is7rp yes pedal!!!!! And hell no I ain’t kidding you!!!!!! Hope that answers your question 🤟🏼🧟🤟🏼
My $400 Gries tube sounds better- pristine clean and no noise. Spent the rest building a custom cabinet and a Y cable out to two cabinets 10 feet apart for amazing, full sound. Have a small Fishman 3rd amp for that stereo effects.
Well done 👏
Nnnnoooooooo stop doing it.........I have too many amps and no space for a brilliant new amp gggggggrrrrr dilemmas 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Shes only small hahahhahhaha 🤟🧟♂️🤟
@@PaulGlover 😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣 soooo tempted
Hi. I am very interested in this head, but unfortunately there is no info about the need of biasing that thing after replacing the power tubes/valves. Any info on that? Thx
As I am aware its like every other amp head or combo. When changing tubes it's good practice to bias them.
With most Laney Amps I've owned I have replace matched valves/tubes without the need to re bias the head. Hope this helps buddy. 🤘🧟♂️🤘
@@PaulGlover yea, h thats true. But to my knowledge there is no need to bias the amp if it is cathode biased. My 2 other tube amps are cathode biased and I normally switch tubes without any problems. So... Whats type is the super top? :)
@dkphotosdotcom can't help you buddy, I've checked the website to no avail but. Try your local Laney dealer mate, sorry dude 🤘🧟♂️🤘
Did you buy one yet? If not, check out Gries. I paid $400- used. Sounds amazing. The builder, Dave Gries is a nice guy too- hand-wired.
The Laney CUB-Super Top and 12 combo use fixed bias, meaning that their bias must be adjusted whenever one or more power tubes are replaced; the Laney CUB-Super 10 combo uses cathode bias, meaning its bias should not be adjusted manually (only component failure can throw out its bias, and that must be corrected by a competent technician). This was confirmed to me by Laney.
