COMBOS SECTOR SPOTLIGHT Peavey
The 6505 Plus 112 combo harnesses the full gain and legendary tone of the Peavey 6505 Series. It has five select 12AX7 preamp tubes and a pair of 6L6GC power-amp tubes, while patented circuitry such as Peavey's Resonance control tweaks the tone. Both the Lead and Rhythm channels feature an independent three-band EQ, pre/post gain controls and Presence,as well as Resonance adjustment. The Rhythm channel also includes a footswitchable Crunch boost.
Classic Series all-tube amps span the tonal landscape from vintage to contemporary. They feature three 12AX7 and four EL84 tubes, plus a three- band EQ, footswitchable dual channels, presence control and reverb. They are available in Classic 30 112, Classic 50 212 and Classic 50 410. Vypyr Series modelling guitar amplifiers are based on a combination of powerful 32-bit, floating-point SHARC processors and patented TransTube analog circuitry. They feature 24 amp channel models – both the clean and distorted channels of 12 popular amps for the first time anywhere – plus 11 editable preamp ‘stomp box’ effects and 11 editable post-amp ‘rack’ effects with dual-parameter control. Players can use up to five effects simultaneously. When used with the optional Peavey Sanpera II foot controller, the possibilities further expand from 12 in-amp presets to 400 programmable presets, with an on-board looper and more.
Orange
The Orange TH30C combo offers the perfect balance between power and portability and is ideal for regular gigging.

The combo features a 12 Celestion G12H-30 speaker and a choice of clean or dirty channels, retailing for around £764.94
Laney
Laney’s newest combo addition is the Ironheart IRT60-212. The standout feature of the range is the Watts control in the master section, which allows you to really screw down the output of the IRT60-212’s 2 x 6L6 to less than one Watt, which is ideal for getting the full-blown sound at bedroom levels. The Ironheart range featured heavily at this year’s Download Festival with
the likes of Fozzy, Killswitch Engage and The Prodigy. Not forgetting that the main stage played host to Black Sabbath and Laney’s new Tony Iommi signature amp. “We are really pleased with the sales performance of Ironheart. It shares similar DNA to the new TI100 Tony Iommi Model, so it’s in esteemed company and the players out there seem to really embrace it,” says Laney brand manager Paul Oldfield. “It’s great to see the players commenting in the forums and posting videos from all over the world, really enthusing about the amp. It’s massively versatile, we’ve made sure the combo incorporates all the Ironheart features that have made it a stand out success, without any compromise whatsoever.”
