“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.

FRONT PANEL CONTROLS

LEAD CHANNEL

RHYTHM CHANNEL

LEAD & RHYTHM channels are provided, both can have different settings and be switched between with the channel switch (8) or footswitch if connected. Although the functions of the controls on each channel are similar, the sounds can be very different.

INPUT: 1/4" mono jack socket. Connect your guitar here. Use only a good quality instrument cable.

PRE-BOOST SWITCH: Switches the input boost circuit on or off. The Pre-Boost circuit increases the input signal to the preamp tubes, just like placing a boost pedal in your signal path. This drives the preamp tubes harder, resulting in more distortion. This works on both channels.

PRE-BOOST CONTROL: Controls the level of boost applied to the guitar signal.

PRE-BOOST LED: This LED will illuminate when the Pre-Boost controls are activated.

DRIVE: Controls the level of preamp distortion on the Lead channel. Turning this control clockwise will add more distortion to your guitar signal, ranging from light overdrive, to full on metal. Use this in conjunction with the Volume

Control (5) to achieve the correct volume and distortion level you require.

EQ CONTROLS: These are a traditional set of passive tone controls. Passive controls have the advantage of always sounding musical at any of their settings, due to their unique interactive nature. This gives the player a more natural set of tools to shape their ideal sound. Set these midway at (5) as a good starting point.

FRONT PANEL CONTROLS

VOLUME: Controls the volume of each channel independantly. Experiment with different combinations of the Drive and

Volume controls to achieve different sounds. Reducing the Drive while increasing the Volume will result in a warm, open, overdriven sound as the power amp is driven harder, while reducing the Volume and increasing the Drive will give a tighter, more modern sound with more distortion. Once set, try using your guitar's volume controls to interactively adjust tone and distortion levels.

ENHANCE: This allows control over the response of the amplifier at lower frequencies. Turning this control clockwise gives a looser low end, while lower settings provide a tighter response. The optimum setting is dependant on the speaker cabinet used.

PRESENCE: An output stage tone control. This adjusts the high frequency response - it adjusts your sound from being dull to giving it edge/sounding sparkly.

CHANNEL SWITCH: Switches between the Lead and Rhythm channels, the LED lights on the active channel.

STANDBY SWITCH: Disconnects the main HT voltage from the tubes but keeps the tubes warm so that they are ready to play instantly. Switch for short breaks when you don't want to wait for the tubes to warm up again. With the switch in the 1 (up) position, the amp is in play mode, while 0 (down) allows the amp to warm up.

STANDBY LAMP: This will illuminate when the amplifier is in play mode.

POWER SWITCH: Main power switch for the unit. Tube amplifiers take between 30 seconds to 2 minutes to warm up and be ready to play after switching on, this is normal. Use in conjunction with the standby switch to prolong tube life. To turn on, flip the switch to 1 (up).

POWER LAMP: This will illuminate when the power switch is operated, indicating the presence of mains power within the amplifier.

Always switch off and disconnect power cord when not in use

Spare fuse located in the fuse drawer.

MAINS INLET SOCKET: Make sure the voltage indicated on the rear panel is correct for your country!

MAINS FUSE: This drawer contains the main safety fuse for the unit. The fuse protects the amplifier from damage in the event of fault by disconnecting the mains power supply.

HT FUSE: This fuse disconnects the high voltage DC power to the tubes within the amplifier in the event of a fault.

Replacing fuses - USE ONLY THE CORRECT SIZE AND RATING SPECIFIED ON THE PANEL. - Using a fuse that is too large in current rating may cause serious, irreparable damage to the amplifier and presents a serious fire hazard. The fuse ratings are detailed in the Specifications section of this manual, as well as printed on the rear of the amplifier. Fuses are designed to protect, do not take chances.

BIAS SWITCH: This allows the use of either 6L6 or EL34 output tubes in your amplifier. Ensure that the switch is in the correct position for your output tubes, otherwise you may risk damaging your amplifier.The TI100 is factory fitted with 4x matched 6L6 tubes. We recommend the use of matched sets of output tubes for optimum performance.

POWER AMP IN: This socket provides the user with an input to the power amplifier stage. When a Jack is connected to the

Line In socket the preamp signal does not pass to the power amp.

PRE AMP OUT: This socket gives the user an output for driving other amplifiers, mixing desks etc. . Can also be useful in multi-amp setups where a single preamp can drive several power stages. The line out is an (unbalanced) line level output.

FX RETURN GAIN: This control serves two purposes:

1) Side Chain Mode: It controls the mix level of the global FX

2) Insert Mode: It behaves as an overall level control for the global FX Return.

REAR PANEL CONTROLS

EFFECTS LOOP RETURN: Connect the output from your external effects to this socket.

EFFECTS LOOP SWITCH: This allows the global effects loop to operate in three distinct modes:

1) Side Chain: The return signal is mixed with the dry signal, the level of FX return is controlled by the FX return level control. This allows you to set the right mix between the dry signal and the effects signal. Use Side chain mode for FX units such as delays, flangers etc where a direct signal path is maintained internally to avoid loss of dynamics through the external

FX processor. When using this mode the external FX processor should be switched to ‘effect only mode’

2) Insert: The return signal is buffered and sent directly to the output tubes, no mixing with the dry signal happens.The wet/dry mix is adjusted within the external FX processor. The FX return level control then acts as overall level control allowing you to make up for any insertion loss that may occur in the FX processor. Use this mode when the whole of the amplifier signal needs routing through any external processors such as graphic EQs etc.

Warning: In insert mode with the FX return level control at minimum the amplifier will have no output, a good normal level for this control is ‘5’ which is approx unity gain.

3) Bypass: The global FX loop circuitry is switched out of circuit altogether.

FX SEND: 1/4" mono jack socket for connection to the input of an external FX unit. This can also be used as a line out for connection to another power amp slave input or for recording.

FOOTSWITCH CONNECTIONS: The TI100 is equipped with a 5 pin DIN socket for the connection of the supplied FS4-

TI footswitch, allowing remote operation of the following functions: Channel, Lead Boost on/off & Rhythm Boost on/off.

SYM LINK: Link sockets are used when connecting two or more amplifiers together with a single master amplifier. The connection ensures that the slave amplifiers change channels synchronised to the master amplifier. This enables the

Presence and Enhance controls on the slave amplifiers to be synchronised with the master amplifier.

SYM OUT: Connect a 1/4" mono jack lead from here to a slave amplifier to ensure channel synchronisation.

SYM IN: Connect a 1/4" mono jack lead from a master amplifier to ensure channel synchronisation.

LOUDSPEAKER CONNECTIONS Five 1/4" mono jack sockets are provided for the connection of a variety of speaker cabinets. Mismatching your speaker impedance will reduce the performance of your amplifier, and in extreme cases may damage the unit. Never operate any tube amplifier without a load connected: serious irreparable damage may occur.

TUBE AMP TIPS

Tube amplifiers generally sound much warmer/sweeter than solid state transistor amplifiers but they also need a little more respect due to the fragile glass tubes. The TI100 head uses eight 12AX7 preamp tubes, and four 6L6 output tubes which should give you years of trouble free service, however like all tube amps; it is important to treat it with a certain amount of care. Use the following steps as a guide for how to take care of your amplifier:

!

Take care when moving the amplifier. Tubes are fragile glass components, they can easily be damaged if thrown in and out of vans.

!

Make sure the impedance of your cabinets matches the setting on your amplifier. Improper impedance matching will result in reduced output power and compromised sound at best, and amplifier failure/shortened tube life at worst.

!

Allow the amplifier to warm up to room temperature before switching it on: the sudden thermal shock can crack a cold glass tube enclosure, plus any moisture is bad news around high voltage electronics.

!

After playing, allow the amplifier to cool down before moving. Hot tubes are more fragile than cool ones.

!

Always use good quality loudspeaker cables: instrument cables are not capable of handling the load requirements of the loudspeaker and can short out.

Replacing Tubes

A tubes life expectancy is based upon a number of factors which include operating temperature, how hard and how often it is played, vibration due to travel, etc. Tubes should be changed in your amplifier if you notice any deterioration in your amplifiers sound or performance. Otherwise, they need not be changed at any regular interval.

Typical problems with preamp tubes can be crackly noise, hiss, hum, and microphony. If they fail or exhibit reduced performance, preamp tubes can simply be swapped out with no further action required.

Typical output tube problems can include a blown HT fuse, sound lacking in punch, sound lacking extreme highs or low, and low level hum. The output tubes can be replaced singly if you replace them with the exact same type AND grade as factory fitted, otherwise they should be replaced as a matched quad set.

To change a tube, firstly switch off and unplug the amplifier from the mains supply. Wait for the tubes to cool down. Remove the rear protective grille held in place with four screws. Preamp tubes are protected with a screen can; to remove, push down and twist the can anti clockwise and then pull up. The tube can now be gently pulled out. Output tubes have a spring retainer which grips the base of the tube; push down on this with one hand, whilst gently rocking the tube with the other to remove. Take care when inserting the new tube in to make sure all pins are correctly aligned.

If you have swapped the type of output tube (from 6L6 to EL34 for example) make sure that the bias switch on the rear panel is correctly set before powering on.

The user should not attempt to service this product.
