Devin Townsend and his Laney LFR full range cabinets

Match made in outer space, Laney is killing it lately!

Been talking about these for a min, but no one seemed to care.....Devin is amazing, great pairing

 

[DrewJD82]

That definitely makes me interested to check them out, but I'll be leery of "FRFR" "I'm a real boy" until I feel it in my face.

Edit- I can buy two Mesa 4x12's for the cost of one of those. That's gonna be a nope from me, dog.

Many feel that the 4x12 is just Laney trolling us, but yeah, that’s what Devin wanted.

 

[likitlikeyoulikeit]

I understand all that, but a normal 4x12 doesn't have a 2400 watt power amp, a custom ir loader and all these options.

It isn't even a fair comparison.

Obviously it isn't for all.....

At least it isn't some plastic alto pos.

From my understanding these are handmade in England, so it will last.

I guess it’s similar to buying (4) 12” "FRFR"’s but they’re all in one 4x12 cabinet so it looks like a standard 4x12.

It’s definitely a niche product.

In a way, that IS Laney. They do not appeal to everyone, but to those that they do appeal to....those people love it.

No you can’t. A Mesa 4x12 is $1500. Unless you’re talking used, and then yeah, you can get a lot of things cheaper used.

This isn’t an apples to apples comparison either since A. one is full range and one’s not and B. you’d still need a power amp for the Mesa cabs as well.

 

[Alex Kenivel]

It all makes total sense to me now.

These came out and I thought to myself, "What crazy bastard in his right mind would use these?"

 

[Orvillain]

I need to try one of these, just have to sate my curiosity. I've always been quite staunchly "against" "FRFR", but really, it is based on nothing but a few experiences and prejudices and just wanting to preserve the status quo.

It could be really cool.

I wouldn't trifle with a man who rocks a beanie like that.

I wouldn't buy a Mesa cab for $1500, either, not when I can find them all day for $800.

Sound financial advice.

I LOVE Mesa, but have never once bought a new Mesa.

[FuzzyAce]

Not gonna lie, 2 of those 2X12 cabs would be awesome. Ok, 3 would be awesomer. W/D/W

 

[paisleywookiee]

Honestly, the 4x12 is batshit crazy. I can’t imagine ever wanting/needing more than the 2x12. The 112’s are amazing.

I'm guessing Devin has "people" for that.
