Laney TI100 - Manual (Page 9)

“It began with a clap of thunder and a tolling bell.
Then, as a heavily distorted guitar played a
diminished fifth – an interval once banned by the
Roman Catholic church for being the Devil’s interval
– a male voice started to wail as if from the
grave…… and music was never the same again.”
The date was February 13, 1970 and the album was Black
Sabbath by Black Sabbath – the guitarist was Tony Iommi
and the distorted diminished fifth sound was a Laney
LA100BL.
Since this auspicious day Laney’s association with Tony
Iommi has gone from strength to strength resulting in
the launch of his first signature model the GH100TI -
originally called the GH100S, almost 20 years ago.
We are extremely proud of our association with Tony Iommi and very happy to be able to announce a new Tony Iommi
signature amp – the TI100.
Tony Iommi’s TI100 is a leap forward in guitar tone!
Born out of an exhaustive period of product development, carried out hand in hand with Tony, bringing unique insight,
suggestions and innovations at every stage whilst continually assessing and refining the sonic character of guitar tone.
The TI100 features: 100 Watts, 4 x 6L6 output section, twin channels, footswitchable variable PRE BOOST on each
channel, 3 band EQ, Volume, Enhance, Presence. All finished off with Tony’s trademark livery and to top it all it even
glows an ominous red!
There are very few chances in life to claim a first, many people can claim to be the biggest or the fastest but
only one person can claim to be the first. In the case of Heavy Metal …….the first Heavy Metal guitar tone
was crafted by Tony Iommi and powered by Laney.
