Laney GH100R Guitar Amplifier Head (100 Watts)

No longer available at zZounds
The Laney GH100R dishes out 100 watts of EL84-powered British tube tone, with a simple 3-band tone stack that spans both channels, and a master output knob.

GHR is the product of Laney's long-term study of how guitar players interact with tube amps. "Tube tone" is composed with what we have come to describe as "RED" and "BLACK" tone elements: RED is tube preamp distortion, in which ECC83 tubes add drive.

BLACK is output tube distortion which increases as the power tubes are driven harder. GHR allows the player to balance RED and BLACK elements to seek the sweet spot in each player's setup.

BRITISH RND

The result of intensive design and development in Great Britain, the GH100R delivers 100 watts RMS of pure, rich, warm tube power from an EL34 loaded output section.

AMP TWEAKER

Both of the GH100R's channels can be configured to be used either clean or driven, with each channel producing subtle differences in tone depending on how you tweak them. This is the amp tweaker's delight! Whether its funk or melodic rock, whether you're a hybrid picker or a shredder, the GH100R delivers outstanding, dynamic, complex, rich & colourful guitar tones.

CONTROL THE MASTER

The GH100R's unique Master Output control allows you to dial in just the right balance of pre-amp v's power-amp distortion to find the sweet spot. A Master Tone control also allows tonal adjustment at the end of signal chain.

ONE STACK

The 3 band tone stack is shared between channels giving a simple yet effective tone palette. A Pull Shift function also increases the tonal flexibility of the mid-range.

STUDIO QUALITY DIGITAL REVERB

Studio-quality read more digital reverb gives rich ambience to the sound via a rotary control. A Pull Focus function adds further variation according to preference.

XLR DI WITH SPEAKER EMULATION

A Balanced XLR DI with switchable cabinet emulation allows the GHR tone to be sent direct to the mixing desk without the need to mic.

PRE-ACCESSORISED

The GH100R comes with 2-way footswitch and transport cover included.

I’ve owned the amp now for a little under a year now and my favorite thing about it is the feel when you crank output and lower the channel volume. Running clean like this gives you a very open “master volume” type sound and feel. The gain channel reminds me of a mix of a plexi and a boogie. Only down side is it has 0 chug. It gets supper muddy and loses a lot of definition when you run the bass past 3 o’clock. However it does classic rock very well! I run in stereo with a 5150 and it sits on top of mix of the two. Over all if I had to buy again I would skip this one because of the price point that being said...zZounds sent me a amp with a big gouge in the wood on the back near the speaker jack. Granted it was only cosmetic and the box wasn’t caving in or anything horrible so I decided to keep it. To zZounds credit they did take $300 off the price however this isn’t the first defective piece of gear they have sent me. Overall I regret the purchase because I’m not having any luck reselling/trading it off and the price is not worth the limited capability and the lack of chug in 2020 is just not acceptable imho.
