oh dear no...  the 2x12 weighed a ton; so much so I forgo my vanity and reverted back to the 1x12.. imagine the weight on this!!! hope it comes with a free roadie or chiropractor

edit:

I checked the small print and those items aren't included....  42.8Kg!!!

I do wonder how much this is going to cost too. (Purchase price and roadie/chiropractic too)

Its all going full circle.

The 2x12 stretches the limits of weight & portability as it is so surely a powered cab of this nature totally defeats the object of convenience modelling brings?

not really cos the convenience is in the modeller.. ie multiple amps and cabs...

I assume this cab is about moving more air on a big stage... it may well be on castors but moving it is a two man job for sure...  not something I can do at 1am in a cul-de-sac....  I am not the target audience for this product.

But it would be great in a commercial studio or rehearsal room...

Let's hope so and assume Laney have done their research and identified a gap in the market, rather than just because it is good PR making one for Devin Townsend.

I love Laney to bits and have owned many of their products over the years, but they do have a habit of releasing items then discontinuing them very quickly when they realise their bread & butter is only really Lionhearts & Ironhearts these days.

I had the LFR 112 and was disappointed from the moment I plugged it in, It made my Axe Fx2 sound like a video game.

Have you tried it other similar products?

The axe was since sold and I returned the LFR

That's very odd & the first time I've ever read any negative feedback on the Laney LFR112.

I guess with so many guitarists using modellers now this is the kind of cab that rehearsal studios and venues might choose to offer as backline. I can't imagine many musicians would want to carry them around.

It's still expensive, but not AS as expensive.
