Introduction; Features - Laney IRONHEART FOUNDRY Series User Manual

INTRODUCTION

In the 1700s the first Newcomen Steam Engines were designed and constructed right here in the
heart of England, in the midlands; a 100 years later the skies were black with smog from burning
furnaces, fuelling the legendary industrial revolution. This was the beginning of the Black Country. As
the fire and brimstone that once scorched the sky began to fade, another type of metal was born:
Heavy Metal; the beating twisted heart of the Black Country.
The IRONHEART FOUNDRY series is forged from fire and iron right at the heart of the Black Country,
the legendary furnaces rekindled to create a beast. We, tone blacksmiths of the midlands, have
created a monster.
We call it the IRF-DUALTOP, a 60-Watt twin channel amplifier in a compact head format. It's soul, from
the IRONHEART that resides in the home of industrial revolution, is designed in the UK by Laney's
dedicated design team.
Set to CLEAN, you get crystal clear cleans with sparkle and bite, while setting to LEAD is all about the
gain. It can deliver Earth shattering power, from controlled gut punching tones at lower gains to
untamed feral roars when really turned up.
The 3 Band EQ section is the tonal offspring of the legendary IRONHEART valve heads, capturing all
their nuances and flexibility. This traditional passive tone stack with complex interactivity never sounds
bad. As well as the onboard reverb – based on the BCC-SECRETPATH Spring line algorithm, the
DUALTOP also features a fully transformer isolated FX loop for a pure, noise free, high-quality signal.
The XLR DI OUT is loaded with two high quality Laney customs IR's and allows you to connect directly
to your DAW or FOH giving you totally flexibility for noise free recording and streamlined cab-less
stages. You never need to mic a cabinet again.
An auxiliary input and emulated headphone output makes the DUALTOP ideal for practising at home
or on the move.
And then, if you dare, the last control. If you weren't already maddened by the insanity of the
DUALTOP, the switchable BOOST is there to tip you over the limit. Push your drive tones further and
feel the very soul of the IRONHEART scream out.
And yes, it may be small but it's LOUD, you can choose just how loud this monster is by the switchable
WATTS control on the rear panel, Max, or <1W ideal for the bedroom.
