The Laney GH100R Head is a compact, all-tube head that delivers a wide range of world-class clean and overdrive sounds to tone tweakers both on stage and in the recording studio. It allows the preamp distortion of the two complementary channels and the distortion of the power amp to be finely balanced, making it easy to achieve different sound characteristics and dynamic nuances. In addition to the classic passive 3-band EQ with mid-shift, the Laney GH100R further features a studio-quality reverb effect, whereas the balanced DI-out with speaker simulation provides the convenience of directly picking up the sound. With 100 watts of power from four EL34 tubes, the Laney GH100R head has ample volume reserves for band rehearsals or live gigs.
The Laney GH100R Head has two channels that are set up identically in their basic sound character . Channel 1 has an additional Bright mode for emphasizing the treble, whereas Channel 2 has its own Volume control for precise adjustment of preamp and power amp distortion. The classic passive 3-band EQ provides optimum sound adjustment for both channels, while the Mid Shift function opens up additional tonal dimensions. Furthermore the integrated reverb effect of the Laney GH100R convinces with studio-quality three-dimensionality.
To integrate additional effects, the Laney GH100R head features a serial FX loop that can be perfectly adapted to the effect devices used by means of a level control. Thanks to the bypass function , it is even possible to completely remove the FX loop from the signal path when it is not in use. Furthermore, the Laney GH100R Head features a balanced DI output for direct pickup of the guitar tone on stage or in the recording studio. Here, the switchable speaker simulation promises a particularly natural sound experience, whereas the ground lift helps to eliminate unwanted hum loops.
Last but not least, the Laney GH100R is equipped with an EL34 power amp that draws up to 100 watts of power from four of the popular vacuum tubes , providing plenty of volume reserves for band rehearsals or live gigs. Speaker cabinets can be connected via the corresponding connections at 4 Ohm, 8 Ohm or 16 Ohm impedance .
