Laney Amplification Appreciation Thread

[grimmchaos]

I have a GH100S that's a hoot when I decide to fire it up. It's just so goddamn loud!! I believe they only made them for a year as an "S" before they changed them to the GH100TI as they were Tony's sigs at the time.

Between 2008 and 2011, I had one of these and it was a fantastic rock machine ! AOR Pro Tube Lead 50

Are there any plugins of the Laney GH/VH besides the STL one? Been trying to find one for a long time now

Also anyone ever tried that Laney GH series they tried to reintroduce a few years ago?

Ironheart gain 10 boost 10 or GTFO.

I like your approach sir

As great as the Leadtop sounds through a V30, I just had no power even though the switch was on, I tap it and sparks came out and I got power again.

I hate the power supply on those amps, why not a simple IEC power cable?

I eventually want a Laney and those older Iommi sigs might actually be perfect for me.

If you can't find one....an older gh is pretty much the same

Edit....the gh100s is the gh100l

its worth a shot, definitely a different flavor from my other amps. im finding now it sounds amazing with a couple of my guitars i dont really play that much, like this tele with 57s, which is great. they are still relatively inexpensive too.

A friend of mine recently gifted me a GH100L from ‘94. It was my first exposure to Laney amps and I’m absolutely hooked. It has literally changed the way I play. I’ve ditched all of my drive pedals and now just run straight into the amp because every overdrive I’ve tried with it just steps all over its sweet tone, it needs no assistance. I’ve since picked up a Lionheart L5 head and cabinet and I believe I am now officially a Laniac. Don’t even get me started on those clean tones!

I owned a TT100h it was a beast.
i also owned a VC30 and it was such a great amp

I saw Ratt headline with wait for it,...Whitesnake open (before they broke) Ratt had just had the mega hit Round and round. It was the 1st time I heard pinch harmonic dive bombs. I remember thinking what the heck amps are those, certainly not Marshalls.
Apparently Randall was the go to amp to take on tour to not thrash your prized Marshall. Dokken used them too

Story I heard was EVH lost his prized Marshall coming back from somewhere on pan am and from then on there were studio heads and road heads
