Name: Laney LA100BL Supergroup
Brand: Laney

Tony Iommi's amplifier of choice. The Laney Supergroup is a high-powered British valve head with a thick, grinding overdrive and heavy low-end response. Its dark, saturated character is the foundation of Black Sabbath's doom-laden sound and the blueprint for heavy metal amp tone.

Iron Man (1970)

Tony Iommi's Iron Man Doom Riff Tone

The tone that invented heavy metal. Tony Iommi's SG through a cranked Laney produces a thick, grinding, dark distortion that is the foundation of doom and heavy metal. The Rangemaster treble booster pushes the Laney into heavy saturation while maintaining note definition. Iommi's prosthetic fingertips and light string gauge contribute to a slightly looser, more aggressive attack.
