Laney CUB-SUPER10 CUB 10 Combo
The CUB-SUPER10 delivers authentic tube amplification in a compact, portable format weighing just 19.8 lbs while preserving the warmth and responsiveness of Class A single-ended tube circuitry. Its modest footprint and intuitive control layout integrate seamlessly into home studios, allowing engineers and producers to capture genuine tube tone without the spatial demands of larger rigs. The amp's 10-watt output pairs EL84 power tube driven character with true preamp coloration from dual 12AX7 tubes, producing the organic breakup and harmonic richness that defines tube amplification—at recording-friendly volume levels ideal for close-miking and isolation booth sessions.
Tone & Recording Character
This amp runs 2 x 12AX7 preamp tubes feeding a single EL84 power tube in a Class A single-ended configuration, yielding warm, touch-responsive gain staging with natural compression characteristics that translate well to microphone capture. The 3-band EQ (treble, middle, bass) paired with independent gain and volume controls enables precise tonal shaping for session work, while the switchable boost channel adds presence and harmonic aggression without requiring a second amp or complex switching logic during tracking.
Studio Connectivity & Workflow
Two 1/4" instrument inputs (guitar and FX return) accommodate flexible signal routing between instruments and external processors, while FX send and external speaker outputs enable integration of outboard effects chains or larger cabinets for varied recording scenarios. The 8–16 Ohms external speaker output allows connection to secondary speaker configurations for different mic placement options, and the combo's compact dimensions (13.3 x 14.6 x 8.3") paired with its 19.8 lb weight enable quick repositioning and relocation within studio setups—all while retaining the 1 x 10" HH custom speaker that defines the amp's on-tape character and sits naturally in dense mixes.
