Over the past few years, the guitar world has witnessed a noticeable shift in the way guitar players are building their rigs – and, as digital technology advances at a breakneck speed, more and more guitarists are ditching their amps for amp modelers.
It’s a simple fact that gear such as the Neural DSP Quad Cortex, Line 6 Helix, Kemper Profiler or even the Boss GX-1000 are more versatile and transportable than conventional amp-and-pedalboard setups.
However, substituting a tube amp for a digital replacement comes at a cost, with many who make the switch – this writer included – losing out on the feel, response and ‘pushing air’ phenomenon that comes with playing in front of an actual amp.
That’s where full range, flat response speakers come into play, and for the past few years Laney has been assembling one of the market’s leading lines of FRFR cabs under the LFR banner.
The LFR cabs provide unparalleled amplification for digital guitar rigs, offering studio-quality sound via tailor-made drivers, designed and engineered by HH Acoustics, that ensure players feel like they have a real guitar cabinet by their side.
What’s more, FRFR speakers are designed by nature to retain the character of your meticulously dialed-in digital guitar tones, avoiding any coloration or variation that may compromise the sound you’ve worked so hard to sculpt.
The LFR speakers do just that, promising the added bonus of power and precision through a range of top-tier cabs that are redefining the standard that players should expect from their digital rigs.
The most recent addition to the LFR family, the LFR-110, joins Laney’s ever-growing cast of FRFR cabs. It follows the huge success of the LFR-112 and LFR-212, as well as the world's first 4x12 dedicated FRFR cab, the beastly 2,600 watt LFR-412.
The LFR-110 by comparison is a lightweight-but-powerful FRFR solution, offering 250 watts of power and a bunch of pro features. They include Bluetooth connectivity for streaming tracks and enhancing performance and practising capabilities, an MP3 Aux In, an XLR DI out with cabinet emulation and XLR/jack combi sockets.
It also features a High Frequency trim control, switchable front illumination, a 10” custom driver and a 1” LaVoce compression driver.
“With 60-years experience in amplification design and delivery, Laney understands the thrill of feeling the air move, the interaction between player, amp and cabinet, the MOJO that only Laney LFRs deliver,” Laney says.
