Laney is played by some of the world’s best guitar players, and offers a huge range of products – from cutting edge, Tube-USB technology to handcrafted, boutique amplifiers.

Established in the late 1960s by Lyndon Laney – Bass player for Robert Plant’s Band Of Joy – Laney amplifiers really announced their arrive on the scene via Tony Iommi, as Iommi's use of the thunderous Laney LA100 with Black Sabbath created heavy metal.
