Laney CUB-SUPER12 CUB 12 Combo
The Laney CUB-SUPER12 is a compact, responsive tube combo engineered to capture articulate breakup and natural amp saturation at studio-friendly volumes. Its lightweight construction and footswitchable controls streamline session workflow, while the Class AB tube topology delivers genuine amplifier character ideal for tracking and overdubs without requiring isolation or excessive headroom.
Tube Amplification & Tone
Built around 3 x 12AX7 preamp tubes and 2 x EL84 output tubes, this amp produces 15 watts in Class AB mode with the ability to run at less than 1 watt, enabling rich tube saturation and mic-friendly breakup at conversation levels. The custom-designed HH 12" speaker is voiced to preserve the amp's natural midrange character and smooth clean-to-breakup response, translating well through a condenser mic in tight spaces.
Controls & Connectivity
A single channel houses a responsive 3-band EQ (treble, middle, bass), footswitchable gain boost, and spring reverb algorithm that can be toggled on the fly for dynamic track layering. Two 1/4" guitar inputs accommodate different impedance sources, while the insert-style FX loop and external speaker socket enable seamless effects integration and cabinet expansion for varied session setups.
