Laney CUB-SUPERTOP CUB Head

The Laney CUB-SUPERTOP is a compact, portable amplifier head that delivers genuine tube warmth in a lightweight package. Its manageable 7.5 kg weight and modest footprint make it practical for both studio work and transport, while the all-tube topology—powered by 3 × 12AX7 preamp tubes and 2 × EL84 power amp tubes—ensures authentic tone without compromise. This head represents efficient British amp design scaled for players who refuse to sacrifice character for convenience.

Tone & Amplification

The 15 W CLASS AB output delivers enough headroom for recording and intimate live settings, with breakup characteristics native to EL84 power tubes. A switchable gain boost and three-band EQ stack—controlling treble, middle, and bass—provide broad tonal shaping, while the built-in footswitchable spring reverb adds spatial dimension without requiring external effects.

Control & Connectivity

Two 1/4" guitar inputs accommodate both low and high impedance sources, with dedicated FX send/return jacks for integrating external effects into the signal chain. The external speaker output supports 8 or 16 Ohms impedance, allowing flexible cabinet pairing, while comprehensive control over volume, reverb, gain, and boost puts shaping authority directly at hand.
