Laney LFR-412

Looks interesting.

 

[gibsonash]

Maybe but my back says no ...

loading your own IR directly to the cab could be very useful in some situations

100 pounds. I wonder how/if they get around the beaming of a 4x12 cab. I'd like to hear one in person even though I have zero need for it.

I want to know how this works with effects. Usually you put some after your cab/IR. I assume there’s a way to completely bypass the IR on the Laney. It kind of defeats the purpose that I want a preset with different IRs per scene so I’d still want my Axe FX doing all the cab/IR simulation.

It is, with an FRFR with an option to load IRs.

It says best in class. Should say biggest tank in class. Probably fun to have in a room until you want to move it somewhere.

Probably a MDF cab like other Laney/monoprice products. That's a lotta weight.

I love the IR loader!! But that plate amp looks a lot like the same alto/headrush gimmick.

Probably will chug like Fug! If you are into that.

Can you create an aftermarket upgrade to make it 20lbs?

It is an FRFR with an option to load IRs.

I know what it is but the way they are pitching it sounds like it forces you to use their IR or yours you load, and not just take the full output from your modeler like the 2x12 does. I’d want their IRs off.

Yeah. Their marketing clear is unclear but the manual shows a switch for FRFR, IR 1, and IR 2

 

[TheRobotCow]

So is this now the one cab to rule them all?

 

[WKSmith]

I quit carrying around 4x12s in the 90s.
This is going in the wrong direction for my busted ol behind

Then don't use them... I am pretty sure it's an optional feature similar to Line6 PowerCab based on this:

 

[Kenny]

There’s 1x12 and 2x12 versions as well.

Something oddly familiar about this acronym…

2400 WATTS!
Of ridiculous marketing BS

I would love to get Fractal’s opinion on Petrucci’s statement in July 2023:
“If you're playing through an amp with a lot of distortion and you play an A [chord] and then you play that same A again, the way that it interacts with the amplifiers components and comes out the cabinet and the speakers is totally different,” explains Petrucci.
