The infamous 1967 Laney SUPERGROUP amplifier reimagined in a studio format and fused with cutting edge technology.

Hi-Fidelity - Low Volume

The LA-STUDIO is an Impulse Response loaded, 3W <0.1W - watt version of the critically acclaimed LA30BL head. Featuring a high-quality reactive load for silent, cabinet-free, operation. 3 x ECC83 pre-amp tubes and a single 12BH7 power tube.

Industry-leading Technology

Loaded with a full TWO NOTES Torpedo module, the LA-STUDIO is a real tube amp with all the benefits and ease of use of a digital PLUGIN. Real hot tubes, real hot tone, real feel and real dynamics. The LA-STUDIO is essentially a REAL PLUGIN.

The LA-STUDIO ships pre-loaded with 6 bespoke virtual cabinets/impulse responses, built-in and ready for use. DynIR is the next-generation of impulse response technology developed by Two Notes Audio Engineering. DynIR revolutionises the concept of a static impulse response: each DynIR Virtual Cabinet from Two Notes comes with 8 microphones, and a choice of multiple rooms. Using the Two Notes app, you can change the environment, move the mics around either in front or behind the cabinet, alter EQ and so much more. Hear the difference your tweaks make in real-time and experience the future of on-demand tone.

Just as the original supergroup amplifiers were made iconic by Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi, now the LA-STUDIO is THE amplifier used in Tony’s own recording studio.

Vintage tube sound revitalized by technology

The Laney LA-STUDIO tube amp head evokes the sound of 1967, with a low-power, high-tech version of the company’s iconic Supergroup ampâ€â€which was made famous by Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi. The Class-AB tube power stage rages at 3 watts, delivering the perfect volume level for home and studio recording. But if 3 watts is still pushing too hard, engage the onboard power brake to drop the output to 0.1 watt.

You can run the LA-STUDIO into a cabinet and mic it, or record direct to your DAW via the speaker-emulated Torpedo DI module by Two Notes Engineering. Two Notes DynIRs are included onboard that offer six virtual Laney speaker cabinets in different environments captured by your choice of a dynamic or ribbon mic. (Two more DynIRs are yours upon registering your LA-STUDIO.) Further parameters are accessible with Torpedo Remote software and additional DynIRs can be purchased from the Two Notes web site.

Four inputs are on tapâ€â€Bass Hi (transparent), Bass Lo (same tonal characteristics as Bass Hi, but with less gain), Treble Hi (accentuated high end) and Treble Lo (lower gain). The remaining I/O selection includes MIDI In/Out/Thru, USB, a balanced XLR output (Torpedo embedded), two ¼" mono speaker outputs (16 ohm and 8 ohm) and a headphone jack.

Class AB

A Class AB power section is based on the notion that music is a waveform and linear in nature i.e. you only get a +ve section followed by a -ve section, and you never get a +ve & -ve occurring at the same time. In a Class AB amplifier, the input signal is split into the +ve and the -ve sides of the waveform, and each respective part are sent to a separate tube or tubes and amplified accordingl
