Hi threre. First post on here. Love that there's a thread for this amp on here. The laney forum is so dead and there's not many ppl with an Ironheart amp on there...or they just don't reply lol...
I've had my IRT-60watt head for nearly two years. At the moment I am using my Korg AX3000G multifx pedal with it using the 4CM. Works well.
I turned off the speaker sims today on the pedal and had to turn the tone knob down to -2, instead of +5. The cab sims make it sound so dull and thumpy, but with them off, it sounds pretty much exactly like the IRT dirt channels.
I am still trying to dial a good tone in using the 2 dirt channels only, but I am getting there. At the moment I got all JJs in there except for V4, which is a Groove Tubes ECC81 to tame the fizz a bit before going to the power amp.
I would like to replace V1 and V2 with hotter tubes, and one day I will. I got tungsols at the moment spare so I'll put them in V1 and V2 and see how much gain I get back. The JJs are a bit too dark. I need to spend more time dialing the amp in though.
Also I have a Boss GE-7 I run in the loop and it helps get rid off fizz quite well.
