Full-scale Ironheart-inspired Tones in a Lunchbox Size
Compact with no compromises, Laney’s Ironheart Foundry Leadtop miniature head is a single-channel monster of an amp that’s tonally inspired by Laney’s legendary Ironheart amplifiers. This amp’s enclosure may be small, but its 60-watt power rating defies its humble size, supplying you with a shimmering Clean voice and high-octane Lead voice via a 2-way switch. And while the versatile 3-band EQ — borrowed from Laney’s Ironheart tube amp heads — delivers a remarkable degree of sonic sculpting potential, the Lead voice’s 3-position switch takes your tonal possibilities even further with Bright/Flat/Dark settings. You also get a transformer-isolated FX loop, headphone jack, aux in, and a variable wattage switch to achieve high-octane tones at reasonable volumes. A high-power footswitchable Boost switch tops it all off, adding up to a seriously comprehensive little amp that’s a fraction of the size of your typical head.
Kick into overdrive with a high-power Boost control
Perfect for turning up the heat during a solo or imparting extra punch to your licks, the Leadtop’s built-in Boost section is a potent sonic tool. Moreover, you can activate the Boost by flipping the switch on the front panel or with a footswitch for hands-free dynamic shifts up onstage. And while this amp’s Brutal boost naturally results in screaming room-shaking Laney tones, Sweetwater guitarists love how the onboard wattage selector allows you to transform the Leadtop’s 60-watt roar into a bedroom-appropriate volume!
From the stage to the studio to the practice room
The Leadtop is designed for maximum efficiency and simplicity, but this straightforward little amp packs quite a bit of utility under the hood. For players running a plethora of effects pedals, the transformer-isolated effects loop is a godsend, allowing you to integrate all your reverb, time-based, and modulation pedals cleanly and with minimal noise. Furthermore, the Leadtop is also remarkably well-suited to the practice room, sporting a 1/8-inch headphone out and aux in — perfect for silent practice sessions and jamming along to your favorite tracks.
Laney amps: stunning since ’67
The journey of Laney Amplification harkens all the way back to 1967. Lyndon Laney left behind the British group Band of Joy (and members John Bonham and Robert Plant) to venture into the expanding realms of amplifier building. From Lyndon’s family garage to stacking huge stages at the disposal of some of history’s greatest groups like Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and Kiss, Laney and its legacy of high-quality amp engineering has found tremendous worldwide acclaim for decades. With a long list of sound systems and characterful heads, cabinets, combos, and pedals for guitar, bass, keyboards, and more, Laney offers a stunning lineup of top-tier products with an enviably versatile appeal.
