Laney IRF60-110 Solid-State Combo

Ironheart Foundry: Tube-Series Tone in a Compact Analogue Combo

The Laney IRF60-110 Ironheart Foundry is a 60-watt all-analogue 1x10" guitar combo that maps the Ironheart tube series' circuit topology into a portable, gig-ready enclosure. Powered by a custom-voiced 10" HH Audio driver, it delivers genuine Ironheart tone without the weight or maintenance of a traditional valve amp. Two channels share a 3-band passive tone stack, switchable Bright/Flat/Dark voicing, footswitchable Pre-Boost and digital reverb. This combo is the right choice for guitarists who want straightforward analogue tone with stage-ready headroom and bedroom-friendly scaling.

What Sets This Combo Apart in the Ironheart Foundry Line

The most compact member of the Ironheart Foundry family, this combo carries a deliberately simplified panel layout compared to the 1x12 and 2x12 siblings. Its HH H1060-8 loudspeaker is custom-voiced to bring out the Foundry circuit's character, while the footswitchable Pre-Boost sits in front of the gain stage — acting as a volume lift on cleaner settings and as a saturation thickener when the Lead channel is already cooking. The rear-panel power-mode switch drops output from 60 W to under 1 W.

Power, Headroom and Bedroom-Friendly Scaling

Power scaling is one of the IRF60-110's most practical features: the rear-panel switch moves between full 60 W output for gigs and under 1 W for bedroom practice, all without changing the amp's feel. The 60 W RMS solid-state output stage delivers enough clean headroom to keep up with a live drummer, while the all-analogue preamp preserves the dynamic response Ironheart players expect. The 6.3 mm FX loop's send doubles as a line out.

• Power Output: 60 W RMS — gig-ready headroom for stage and rehearsal use
• Power Modes: High (60 W) / Low (<1 W) — full volume or bedroom-friendly practice from the same amp
• FX Loop — 6.3 mm series send/return with the FX Send doubling as a line out for direct recording or front-of-house mixing

Two Channels, Three Voicings and a Footswitchable Pre-Boost

The control set stays focused: a Clean channel with Volume, and a Lead channel with Gain, Volume and a switchable Bright/Flat/Dark voicing that moves between sparkling cleans, tight crunch and saturated high-gain tones without scrolling through presets. A 3-band passive tone stack shapes the overall character, while the footswitchable Pre-Boost adds sustain, gain and output on demand. The Pre-Boost and reverb are footswitchable via the FS2-Mini (sold separately); channels are selected on the front panel.

• Channels: 2 (Clean + Lead) — clean and high-gain voices designed to replicate Ironheart tube-series tone and feel
• Lead Voicing Switch: Bright / Flat / Dark — three tonal flavours from one channel, no menu diving required
• Pre-Boost — footswitchable gain and sustain lift for solos; FS2-Mini footswitch sold separately

Custom HH Audio Driver, Digital Reverb and Full I/O

At the heart of this combo sits a custom-voiced 10" HH Audio H1060-8 loudspeaker, chosen to bring out the Foundry circuit's character with a responsive feel and plenty of low-end punch. Onboard digital reverb adds depth and ambience to both cleans and lead tones, and is footswitchable for hands-free control. The rear panel offers a 3.5 mm stereo Aux In, a 3.5 mm stereo headphone output for silent practice, and a footswitch input.

• Speaker: 1 x 10" HH H1060-8 — custom-voiced driver matched to the Foundry preamp
• Reverb: Onboard digital reverb — footswitchable for hands-free control between songs
• Headphone & Aux — 3.5 mm stereo headphone output plus 3.5 mm stereo Aux In for silent practice and play-along without disturbing neighbours

Who Should Buy the IRF60-110

This combo is aimed at guitarists who want the feel of an analogue amp without the menus or modelling complexity of modern digital units. It suits players who gig small-to-mid venues and need a 60 W combo that keeps up with a live band, as well as home players who want the same amp to drop to under 1 W for late-night practice. Metal, hard rock and crunch players will appreciate the Lead channel's Bright/Flat/Dark voicing and the footswitchable Pre-Boost, while blues and rock players get a clean channel with enough headroom for pedals. The IRF60-110 is the right choice for working guitarists who need a single amp that covers stage, rehearsal and bedroom.

Laney Ironheart Foundry: British Amp Heritage Since 1967

Laney Amplification has been building British guitar and bass amplifiers since 1967, when founder Lyndon Laney built his first amp for his own band. The Ironheart series has long been associated with high-gain British tone, and the Foundry sub-line distils that heritage into simpler combos aimed at players who want pure analogue character. This model is the smallest combo in the current Ironheart Foundry family.
