Guthrie Govan setup (October 2023)

Last I heard he had 2 of the Laney 212 FR cabs. I'm guessing he's still using that setup. They look like this:

Hi,

here's what Guthrie Govan uses during european tour of The Aristoctrates.





One pedal is Volume, another one is Expression (confirmed by Guthrie's technician).
Really nice trick with the towel ;)

He stole my setup! :)
I’m drawn to his playing, but also impressed with his discussions concerning the elements that were important to his signature guitar design. I thought “spot on”…..

Yes, he is using a pair of Laney LFR-212 FRFR Active Cabinets. And it all sounds very clear!
And the funny thing that he was (during the show in Munich, Germany) in the same T-Shirt as on your photo ;)

I really like the look of the Laney cabs but every demo I have heard they never sounded right. I might have to pick one up and run it.

I have the 1x12 version. I used it as part of my main rig for about a year. Did me proud. It’s loud, built like a tank, on the heavy side (although I am an old fart), and to my ears, in a primarily live setting, sounded great. Sensible price too. Played in two covers bands with a wide ranging set covering typical genres and handled them all well. I’ve upgraded now but I keep the Laney as backup. If I had a criticism, it would be a lack of finesse maybe.

And the LED strip is cool.

Definitely worth a try.
