I believe this amp can handle pretty everything. Maybe it's not so Marshall sound but you can always replace poweramp tubes from 6L6 to EL34 (Ironheart have an autobias function).

It's not autobias, it has a trim pot. The switch only puts it "in the ballpark" for either 6L6 or EL34s.

GH/VH owners sometimes make the same mistake, the amp needs to be biased for the tubes you put in it.

Im interested to see how much you paid for it?
Sounds great by the way, especially for it on its own with no enhancements!

You are right sir!
I forgot that there is a switch to select 6L6 or EL34.
I don't know if KT77 KT66 can be used.

I paid €635 for it a few months ago, and my dealer (who is endorsed by Laney) told me that the idea was to get the 120w combo at about 1000. Not sure if he meant €1000 or $1000 though..

Nice clip. I really wanted one of these, but gas for 90's gear got in the way. I'm all rack now.

Hey! One year later and I still have it and love it:)
But...
I would like to have a mod: when you use reverb toggle switch, I would like also to enable effects loop. Do you have any idea if this is even possible?

Those IronHearts are great in my opinion, i bought two and i must say that i like those amps, i am thinking about putting in some EL34 tubes in one of them so i can see what difference it make.

On the fretboard!
HNAD!

I am itching for an amp, can't decide which but that is on the SHORT list! Being a Laney Fanboi Deluxe (love my VH100 and TT50) the IRT 60 CALLS to me!

I love my Ironheart it sounds stupidly heavy playing in B standard. I have zero complaints about it, and it absolutely slays for metal. I'd say the sound is somewhere between a 5150 and a marshall with a slight bit of mesa scoop going on. That however may just be my EQ settings.

If you use the pre boost for about half your total gain you can get a seriously tight sound out of it. The low B of my LTD MH350 crushes with the correct palm muting technique and a little bit of muscle behind the pick hand ;)

I have the matching 2x12 for it and its a worthy cab I must say.

I picked up the head for 400 bucks too which is a good deal I think. It was almost brand new.
