We\u2019ve been designing and building tube amps since 1967. Since then we\u2019ve developed various ranges that have become cherished by rock, metal and all kinds of players. That will never change. That mission will continue and we will always have musicians needs at the heart of what we do. In short\u2026We aren\u2019t planning on trying to sell fridges any time soon. However, we recognise that the weight and price tag of a tube amp isn&#8217;t right for every player.<\/p>\n<p>So with that in mind, we\u2019ve recently been pondering the question\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut what if you could distil all that raw tube tone and dynamism. Into affordable, portable analogue designs packed with great tones and useful features? \u201c<\/p>\n<p>Would it be possible to create combos that sound as inspiring as their tube-derived family members?<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.laney.co.uk\/amps\/guitar\/lionheart\/lf60-112\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1825\" src=\"https:\/\/www.laney.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/LIONHEART-Foundry-Banner-HIGH-RES-scaled-e1718963960283.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"309\" \/><\/a><\/h3>\n<h3><u>Digital Detox<\/u><\/h3>\n<p>To start with, we knew what we didn\u2019t want and that was another generic black box. Filled with thousands of tones that are of no practical use. The problem we all face when trying use those personality-less digital boxes is that when you take them out of a home practice environment they just don\u2019t cut through on stage. Additionally, they force us to spend way too much time squinting at screens or messing about with yet another App just to get a basic useable tone. All of that time could have been spent playing guitar and actually making music, right? We wanted to deliver something easy to use, with great tube-like tone and response along with some super practical features to help every type of player.<\/p>\n<p>We needed to develop something that was &#8211; as Laney CEO, James Laney, succinctly put it \u2013 \u201cEverything you need, nothing you don\u2019t\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>That was the challenge laid before Laney&#8217;s engineering team with the new<a href=\"https:\/\/www.laney.co.uk\/amps\/guitar\/lionheart\/lfsuper60-112\"> LIONHEART Foundry series<\/a> of combos.

We picked Tremolo as the other effect to include in the SUPER60\u2019s.\u00a0 Tremolo is an often overlooked but super creative effect \u2013 the rhythmic pulse of the effect when used correctly creates a super inspirational sound.\u00a0 For the player we have put everything you need at your fingertips, everything from a slow mesmerising pulse to blink of an eye stutter effects.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Watch the LF60-112 video here&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/g19yALbbSzg\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/g19yALbbSzg<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><u>Real-World Torture Testing<\/u><\/h3>\n<p>Before production, the Foundry amps went through Laney&#8217;s merciless torture testing regimen by Simon (our resident tone-wizard). &#8220;We have rigs specifically mocked up to push these amps to their limits across every usage scenario &#8211; home practice, direct recording, gigging through massive cab rigs, you name it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Simon used all types of guitars, pedals, and instruments to evaluate the amps&#8217; response and feel. &#8220;You can instantly hear it when a solid-state design has the slightest bit of harshness or unnatural clipping. These amps just breathe and comp like a well-rounded tube amp, no matter what you throw at them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We went through exhaustive iterations with the engineers to ensure the effects integrated seamlessly with the core tones, rather than sounding tacked on&#8221;.\u00a0 Simon adds, in reference to the special attention we paid to the built-in modulation effects.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><u>Practicality Meets Musicality<\/u><\/h3>\n<p>While capturing inspiring tones was the core objective, the Foundry amps also pack a raft of practical features. They are lightweight but rock solid in construction to stand up to abuse at gigs. They have power attenuation for home practice. Plus, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laney.co.uk\/amps\/guitar\/lionheart\/lfsuper60-112\">Super60s<\/a> boast XLR outputs for recording or front of house duties.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These amps need to be able to handle gigs, rehearsals and recording and practice scenarios just as easily&#8221;, remarks Simon. &#8220;We also wanted to build in maximum flexibility and capture world-class Laney tone. While avoiding the hassles and maintenance of a tube amp&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>For Simon and all of us here at Laney. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laney.co.uk\/amps\/guitar\/lionheart\/lfsuper60-112\">Foundry amps<\/a> represent the culmination of capturing the magic that makes our tube amps so revered. While providing modern utility and affordability ideal for today&#8217;s players. In Simon\u2019s view, &#8220;These amps essentially allow you access to the primal rock tones and feel that made Laney legendary.\u00a0 Whilst also offering practical designs that just work incredibly well for creative players in any scenario.
