Re: NAD Laney IRT-Studio
Cool man, did you get a good deal? what cab are you going to run it through? Going in a rack case with other cool gear?

Re: NAD Laney IRT-Studio
I don't have budget approval for a cab yet. Besides, I don't gig so I'm happy to run it through my mixer to the monitors or headphones for now. Will worry about cabs when I can justify it, or an offer I can't refuse comes along.Mattallica wrote:Cool man, did you get a good deal? what cab are you going to run it through?

I've only had combos before this so it will sit next to my mixer for now, on a shelf. I'm a tad worried about heat and air circulation. Hopefully it won't be an issue.

Nice amp's i've sold a few of these and used one in the shop for quite a while.. I think you'll be pleased.
Stress... when you wake up screaming and realise you haven't been asleep yet!!

Re: NAD Laney IRT-Studio
Fair enough, the cab sim sounds alright so you can run straight out of the amp and not miss out.
I have mine sandwiched between another amp and a rack drawer. Run for an hour or two at a time and no overheating issues as of yet. I think as long as there is space for air to go front to back or side to side you'll be all good

Re: NAD Laney IRT-Studio
That's good to hear. How long have you had yours? What cab are you using? I assume you're playing mostly metal?Mattallica wrote: I have mine sandwiched between another amp and a rack drawer.

Re: NAD Laney IRT-Studio
Hmm i think it was sometime in December '14 * when i bought it *. I got a cheap Cub cab at the time, and also bought a Laney GS212 earlier this year. I like them both but the GS is closed back and is better for the metal, as you correctly assumed lol.
Jack Thammarat makes some sweet non-metal sounds with the IRT if you're after some references

Re: NAD Laney IRT-Studio
Good stuff I saw one of these amps at shearers and already decided that the IRT studio will be the next amp I buy unless one of the bigger ironheart heads comes along at some stage

Re: NAD Laney IRT-Studio
Was that you selling it last year? IIRC jeremyb also mentioned you built an iso cab?sopachrga wrote:Had one for a while. They sound great.
I've just set it up here and had a very quick play. It's quite trebley at the moment, will have to spend more time tweaking it. I had a VC30 that was quite trebly, but I managed to tame it. Fingers crossed I can do the same here. So far it's a super amp, love the clean channel too! I loved my VC30 but it was damn loud. After that I went to a Cub 12R, didn't like it much at all. This one now is much more reminiscent of my VC30 but in a rather manageable form and suits my needs better.

Re: NAD Laney IRT-Studio
I'm using the simulated DI through a mixer and monitors, going through the 15W is working just fine for me Will give the 1W a go when I get a cab in the future. This feels like a keeper to me... famous last wordsshafter wrote:I really like the 1 watt input you can really crank it and its fine at bedroom levels..

I did a hard rock demo of mine.

Re: NAD Laney IRT-Studio
Nice one dude, they're a great amp, prefect for recording or gigging!
