Ready to take on the stage, the studio, or even the bedroom practice session, Laney’s Cub-Super12 is packed to the brim with professional-grade tube tones. This amplifier’s 15-watt power rating and robust 12-inch speaker supply more than enough volume for live applications, while the handy 1-watt mode allows you to access sweet tube saturation at home-appropriate levels. And although this straightforward single-channel amp is designed for plug-and-play functionality and instant tonal gratification, a 3-band EQ, studio-quality digital reverb, and footswitchable boost control grant you just enough sonic versatility to tackle any genre in the book. Lastly, the Cub-Super12’s broad range of tones and built-in effects loop make it an superlative platform for stompbox fanatics. When it comes to a top-class tube combo that can hang with the best of them, Laney’s Cub-Super12 is at the top of the list.

Tube Amp vs Solid State -?What's the Difference?


No-nonsense control layout





Laney’s Cub-Super12 spartan control setup gives you precisely what you need for stunning out-of-the-box tube tones. It’s the ideal amp for the guitarist who prefers plug-and-play functionality over endless knob twiddling, although the 3-band EQ, studio-quality digital reverb, Volume, and Gain knobs provide a surprising level of sonic versatility. Finally, integrating your favorite stompboxes is a breeze with the Laney Cub-Super12’s built-in effects loop, ensuring your time-based and modulation effects remain nice and clean in your signal flow.





Turn down the volume with 1W power scaling





On paper, 15 watts might not sound like a lot, but trust us ? the Laney Cub-Super12 can get loud. If you’re looking to lay down a few late-night tracks in your studio, cranking this beast up into overdrive simply isn’t practical for most players. Thankfully, the Cub-Super12 comes equipped with a convenient power scaling function that takes this amp’s rating from 15 watts all the way down to a single watt ? a significantly more bedroom-appropriate volume!





Footswitchable Boost control for speedy dynamic shifts





From the mildest vintage-style single-coils to high-power humbuckers, the Laney Cub-Super12’s built-in boost function makes it easy to achieve rich tube overdrive. If your tone is sounding a bit anemic, crank the Boost and Gain knob to taste to achieve searing tube tones. Lastly, while the Laney Cub-Super12 sports a straight-ahead 1-channel design, the Boost can be toggled with a footswitch for instant dynamic shifts between edge-of-breakup rhythms and roaring, overdriven lead licks.
