Laney IRF120H Ironheart Foundry Analogue Guitar Amp Head, 120W
The IRF120H is a fully analogue 120-watt amplifier head that delivers genuine two-amplifier performance in a single compact chassis. Dual independent channels with distinct gain modes and voicing options provide dramatic tonal shifts via footswitch—not EQ variations on a single voice, but two genuinely different amplifiers. Built for recording sessions and production work that demand professional-specification head-and-cabinet rigs without tube amp weight or cost, the IRF120H combines flexible dual-channel architecture with studio-grade connectivity and analogue signal integrity throughout.
Channels, Voicing & Gain Character
Channel 1 offers three distinct gain/clipping modes—ASYM for harmonic asymmetric breakup, CLEAN for maximum headroom and pedal platform response, and SYM for symmetric high-gain saturation with even harmonic content. Channel 2 features Bright, Natural, and Dark voicing options paired with a dedicated 3-band EQ, creating a completely independent lead tone. Both channels include footswitchable pre-boost for instant dynamic control during recording or live mixing.
Connectivity & Studio Integration
All-analogue signal path from input through XLR direct out with LA·IR digital cabinet IR emulation for seamless recording integration or FOH compatibility. Dual speaker outputs support 8 or 16-ohm cabinets (minimum 4 ohms total impedance); stereo aux input, FX loop, USB Type-C audio I/O for DAW integration, and headphone output with watts control enable flexible monitoring and session workflows. Onboard digital reverb rounds out the feature set.
Key Features
- 120W RMS output with switchable low-power mode (less than 1W)

Reviews
At a Glance
The Laney IRF120H is a 120-watt analogue head designed to capture authentic Ironheart valve behavior in a solid-state chassis, offering two fully independent channels with dedicated 3-band EQ and distinct gain/voicing options for sculpting and stacking tones. For home and project studios, the USB Type-C audio I/O, LA·IR cabinet IR emulation, XLR direct out, and headphone output with level control make it a complete recording tool—record direct to your DAW, monitor silently, and print professional tones without mic'd cabinets or room treatment. The analogue signal path, switchable low-power mode, and flexible speaker/aux connectivity let you dial in articulate cleans and high-gain saturation equally well, making it ideal for metal and progressive tracking or genre-blending demo work.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the two channels?
Channel 1 offers three gain modes (ASYM for harmonic asymmetric breakup, CLEAN for headroom and pedal response, SYM for symmetric high-gain saturation) with a 3-band EQ. Channel 2 features three voicing options (Bright, Natural, Dark) with its own independent 3-band EQ, creating two entirely different amplifier personalities you can switch via footswitch.
Can I record this amp directly to my computer?
Yes. The USB Type-C audio I/O allows direct connection to your DAW, and the XLR direct out includes LA·IR digital cabinet IR emulation so you can record professional tones without a physical cabinet or microphone. Headphone output with watts control also lets you monitor silently during recording sessions.
What speaker cabinets will work with this amp?
The IRF120H has dual speaker outputs supporting 8 or 16-ohm cabinets, with a 4-ohm minimum total impedance when running both outputs. Check your cabinet's impedance rating to ensure compatibility.
Does this amp have a low-power mode for bedroom or studio use?
Yes. The amp features a switchable low-power mode (less than 1W) so you can achieve full tonal character at whisper volumes, plus a headphone output with independent level control for silent practice and recording.
Is this a tube amp or solid-state?
It is a fully analogue solid-state head designed to recreate Ironheart valve circuitry behavior without tube maintenance or weight. The all-analogue signal path delivers harmonic warmth and breakup character while offering professional-grade connectivity and switchable low-power operation.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
We collect sales tax only on orders shipped to California. Orders shipped to any other US state are charged $0 sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. On this item that is roughly $42 less out the door than the same listed price at a national retailer or on a marketplace.
