A 60-watt Powerhouse Fit for Stage and Studio
Boasting two fierce channels of Ironheart-inspired tones, Laney’s Ironheart Foundry Dualtop is a comprehensive 60-watt head that’s equally at home on the stage and in the studio. Each of this amp’s channels — a shimmering Clean channel and a dirt-laden Lead channel — sports a 3-way voicing switch to instantly switch up your EQ on the fly, further aided by a global 3-band EQ. Next, the onboard Boost fires up your tone with an extra helping of heat, while the digital reverb circuit imparts lush space and a lively presence to your playing. Tonally, the Dualtop is a remarkably well-rounded amp. However, its utility features truly push it over the edge as a studio and practice tool, including an IR cab-simulated XLR DI out, transformer-isolated FX loop, variable wattage control, aux in, headphone jack, and much more. Whether you’re looking to storm the stage or pick out the new centerpiece of your recording rig, Laney’s Dualtop head is a sure bet.

Kick into overdrive with a high-power Boost control
Perfect for turning up the heat during a solo or imparting extra punch to your licks, the Dualtop’s built-in Boost section is a potent sonic tool. Moreover, you can activate the Boost by flipping the switch on the front panel or with a footswitch for hands-free dynamic shifts up onstage. And while this amp’s Brutal boost naturally results in screaming room-shaking Laney tones, Sweetwater guitarists love how the onboard wattage selector allows you to transform the Dualtop’s 60-watt roar into a bedroom-appropriate volume!
From the stage to the studio to the practice room
The Dualtop is designed for maximum efficiency and simplicity, but this straightforward little amp packs quite a bit of utility under the hood. For players running a plethora of effects pedals, the transformer-isolated effects loop is a godsend, allowing you to integrate all your reverb, time-based, and modulation pedals cleanly and with minimal noise. Furthermore, the Dualtop is also remarkably well-suited to the practice room, sporting a cabinet-emulated 1/8-inch headphone out and aux in — perfect for silent practice sessions and jamming along to your favorite tracks. An XLR DI out with stunningly realistic IR cab simulation tops the Dualtop off, allowing you to achieve studio-grade guitar tracks at home without the help of a microphone.
