Sounds promising! Can´t wait for more infos and some soundclips (?)
Even single notes sound very rich and full!
Unlike any other amp I know - this one includes 8(!) preamp tubes - so much gain - even in the rhythm channel.
This amp can create the rich dark signature sound of Black Sabbath - but can be dialed for other metal tones as well.
The amp manual includes the signature settings used by Tony Iommi - and I profiled this as well.
In total your’ll get 44 profiles from both channels - so there should be a great setting for different styles and used guitars.
profile pack is up - (very) short first sound sample also - more soon ....
Enjoy!
Here is some more information about the amp and profiles:
This are profiles of a Laney TI100 tube amp - the Signature Tube Amp from Black Sabbath guitar player Tony Iommi.
We profiled this amp with a 4x12" V30 speaker cabinet.
All profiles were dual miked with a Shure SM7B and a Royer R121 microphone.
This set of profiles offers both - raw profiles of various amp settings (like you are used to get from our other profiles sets).
And in addition some ‘preset’ settings - as found in the amps user manual - this includes the signature settings of Tony.
The 44 profiles are named like this:
The numbers are amp knob values.
e.g.
LTI C2 0 3 628 57
LTI = Laney Tony Iommi
C2 = Channel
1 = Rhythm channel
2 = Lead channel
0 = Pre boost (0=0ff)
3 = Drive
628 = Tonestack setting (Bass,Mid,Treble)
here: Bass=6, Mid=2, Treble=8
57 = Poweramp settings (Enhance,Presence)
here: Enhance=5, Presence=5

I can't wait to give these profiles a try tonight
Use a Gibson SG and play some riffs from the new Black Sabbath CD '13' ...
Enjoy!
Any chance that we could replicate the early Sabbath tones with one of these profiles? (ala the Rangemaster boosted Laney Klipp/Supergroup fuzziness)
All profiles are amp only - without any effects.
You can add any of the inbuilt KPA effects.
Tony uses curtently only this amp - and playes the old songs as well as the new ones.
As promised here are some more sounds of the new profiles:
Sounds great!
Not to say it doesn't sound good, and I'm a fan of your profiles but I wish that instead of so many profiles at various settings you would maybe half the setting variations and do an alternate mic selection as well. Say half SM7b/121 and the other half SM57/121.
Especially for the 'metal profiles'
Good idea!
I actually did it for the latest pack #52
There are half of the prifiles single miced - for a more classic Marshall sound
and the other dual miked - for a warmer blues sound.
I ment actually switching the mics so it's not always the SM7b being used.
Maybe we could have the traditional sm57 or something similar
Thanks
I see what you mean - but the goal of all my packs (up to now) is to sound as close as possible to the real amp next to me.
This was and is my philosophy.
Sounds Nice!

Still think you could benefit a little from a couple other mics to throw in there for more extreme stuff like leads settings and metal amps. sm7b and 121 are great mics, but not very commonly used above pop rock.
Yes, you are right - some of my other metal packs use other mics incl. the SM57.
I prefer the SM57 & R121 or SM7B & R121 over a single SM57.
In case you get to much bass - just reduce it with a post EQ.
Here is a nice shootout:
SM57 vs. SM7B
Personally speaking I think the 121 is a great compliment to the 57. I'd sure be happy if you split the profiles into 57/121 and 7b/121 in future. Perhaps then you'd get recording friendly profiles and amp in a room friendly profiles
Just an opinion
