INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on choosing the IRT-SLS ultra-compact guitar head.

Designed and engineered in the Black Country, Great Britain and packed full of features, amazing tones and a thoroughly modern look. The IRT-SLS offers 3 channels -­ Clean, Rhythm and Lead, separate EQ’s, and two power modes depending on your requirements. A high-power mode delivering 3 to 300 watts RMS, and a standard power mode providing <1 to 60 Watts RMS.

All the tone and power you could want in a small, compact and portable package making the IRT-SLS the ULTIMATE fly-rig.

Loaded with two high voltage ECC83 tubes the IRT-SLS uses tube technology to generate its characteristic IRONHEART tones, whilst the mono block output configuration delivers all the power you could ever need.

Connecting your cabinet could not be easier ­- The IRT-SLS features combi twist sockets which can take either a Speakon connector or a regular jack.

Your IRT-SLS also features an internal dummy load which means you can use your IRT-SLS without any cabinet connected at all. Totally silent recording with no loss of tone. Recording directly from the on-board T-USB feature has been enhanced by the inclusion of studio quality cabinet emulation options, giving the IRT-SLS an amazing sound direct into your DAW.

We hope you enjoy your IRT-SLS.

WELCOME

Dear Player,

Thank you very much for purchasing your new Laney product and becoming part of the worldwide Laney family. Each and every Laney unit is designed and built with the utmost attention to care and detail, so I trust yours will give you many years of enjoyment.

Laney products have a heritage which stretches back to 1967 when I first began building valve amplifiers in my parents’ garage.

Since then we have moved on from strength to strength developing an extensive range of guitar, bass, public address, multi instrument and keyboard amplification products along with a list of Laney endorsees that includes some of the world’s most famous and respected musicians.

At the same time we believe we have not lost sight of the reason Laney was founded in the first place – a dedication to building great sounding amplification for working musicians.

Warm Regards,

Lyndon Laney
Chairman and Founder.

FRONT PANEL CONTROLS

1. INPUT 1/4″ mono jack socket for connecting an active or passive guitar. For best performance, use a good quality instrument cable.

2. 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 all channels.
   PRE-BOOST CONTROL: Controls the level of boost applied to the guitar signal.
   PRE-BOOST LED: The led will illuminate when the Pre-Boost control is activated.

3. LEAD GAIN: Controls the level of preamp distortion on the Lead chanel. 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 Lead Volume Control (6) to achieve the correct volume and distortion level you require. With the Volume control set below 6, you will only get preamp distortion. Turning past 7 will progressively add distortion from the output stage.

4. LEAD EQ CONTROLS: A traditional set of passive tone controls. Passive controls have the advantage of sounding musical due to their unique interactive nature. This gives the player a more natural set of tools to shape their ideal sound. Set midway at 0 as a good starting point.

5. LEAD EQ PULL SWITCHES: Pulling on each of the EQ control knobs will shift the response of each control as follows:
   • Bass: Deep – This extends the low-end frequency response, resulting in a fuller, heavier sound for lower notes.
   • Mid: Shift – This lowers the frequency range of the Mid control to give a tighter sound.
   • Treble: Shift – This broadens the Treble control frequency response, to give a rounder sound to higher notes, especially when used with thin sounding pickups.

6. LEAD VOLUME: Controls the Lead channel volume. 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, over-driven sound as the output section 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.

7. CHANNEL SWITCH & LEDs: Switches between the Lead and Clean/Rhythm channels. LEDs indicate currently active channel.

8. CLEAN/RHYTHM SWITCH & LED: This switch activates the Clean mode on the Rhythm channel. When operated, the Clean Volume control becomes active, while Rhythm Gain (9) and Rhythm Volume (12) are removed from the signal path. When using clean mode, the preamp gain is lowered, resulting in a cleaner tone. LED indicates that Clean mode is active.
   CLEAN VOLUME: Use this to control the volume of the amplifier when using Clean mode. The amp can still be driven to overdrive with the control turned to 7 or more and can be driven harder by using the Pre-Boost.

9. RHYTHM GAIN: As Lead Gain (3).

10. CLEAN/RHYTHM EQ CONTROLS: As Lead EQ Controls (4).

11. CLEAN/RHYTHM EQ PULL SWITCHES: As Lead EQ Pull Switches (5).

12. RHYTHM VOLUME: As Lead Volume (6).

13. TONE: This Tone control works in a similar fashion to the Tone control you probably have on your guitar except that it uniquely works at the other end of the amplification chain. This has the ability to not only control the overall top end response but also reduce upper harmonics on the output stage and preamplifier overdrive sounds. This will give you bright cutting sounds at high settings and smooth rounded sounds at lower settings. Midway (0) is a good starting point.

14. REVERB: Controls the level of the built in Laney-designed digital reverb.
    Reverb is not applied to signal connected to the Aux Input.

15. WATTS: Controls the overall output of the amplifier and has two modes of operation.
    • Pull position – High Power Mode : A variable output with a maximum of 300W into 4 Ohms. As an indicator, the Tube Status LED (16) turns blue. Before using this mode please check the power ratings of your chosen cabinets.
    • Push position – Normal Power Mode: A variable output with a maximum of 60W into 4 Ohms, but the character and ‘Tube Warmth’ of the tone remains.
    The Watts control is not applied to Aux Input signals.

16. TUBE STATUS MONITOR: When you first power up your IRT-SLS, the following will happen:
    1: The led will flash at a steady rate – the tubes are warming up. This could take up to 30 seconds.
    2: The led is continuously on – the amplifier is now ready for use.

REAR PANEL CONTROLS

Please note additional safety instructions and serial number on bottom panel of unit.

1 UNIVERSAL POWER INLET: This socket accepts a standard IEC grounded connector supplied with the product.
The unit must be earthed under all circumstances! Input voltages from ~100V to ~240V 50-60Hz can be used around the world without need for fuse or voltage changes to the product. Always disconnect the power connector when the amplifier is not in use.
Tip: Ensure the Watts control (15) is in Push position before powering Up.

2 POWER SWITCH: This fully disconnects the mains power to the amplifier. At switching on, the Valve Status LED will begin to flash. The amount of time for the amplifier to be ready for use depends on ambient and tube temperatures.

3 D.I: This connector provides a balanced line level feed, primarily used for connecting to a PA sound desk. Level is adjusted with its dedicated control and any problems with earth loops can be dealt with by utilisation of the Ground Lift control. The D.I signal is routed via an Emulation circuit and a switch to allow Emulation bypass or a choice of two emulation types.
• EMULATION 1 – a bright guitar cabinet.
• EMULATION 2 – a dark guitar cabinet.

4 USB: Record replay connector, (Dry on left channel, processed on right channel). USB2.0 is compatible with Windows XP ® operating system, Windows 7 ® operating system & Windows 8 ® operating system. Also compatible with Mac ® & iPad ®1-3 via camera USB adaptor, iPad ® 4 & iPad Mini ® via Lightning-USB camera adaptor cable.
• Re-amp output jack allows Dry return signal from USB to be connected via jack cable to the Amp input.
Additional information on pages 13-16.

5 PHONES: A standard 6.35mm stereo jack socket for use with headphones or to provide a stereo feed to a PA system. A level control is provided for comfortable listening/ level balancing and the signal source is set via the selector switch. Three options are available:
• USB+AMP – a mix of the USB Left and Right and signals running through the IRT-SLS.
• USB – a mix of the USB Left and Right and signals only.
• AMP – signal running through the amp only.
Ensure the level is turned down before connecting headphones to avoid unexpected excessive volume levels.
When phones are connected, the amplifier output is disabled – this can take a couple of seconds.

6 AUXILIARY INPUT: A standard 3.5mm jack socket for the connection of backing tracks etc. and level balanced with the accompanying Level control. The Aux signal is inserted post Reverb and is present at the D.I and Headphone sockets, but not the Insert Send.
Ensure the level is turned down before connecting a signal to avoid unexpected excessive volume levels and potential speaker damage.

7 FX LOOP: This is an insert type loop so all of the signal is passed to the external processor. The mixing of the dry and effect signal must be controlled in your external processor. A switch is provided to allow two nominal levels of loop signal and a bypass option.

8 REMOTE: A 5 pin DIN socket to connect the included FS4-IRT. In addition to this, there are two stereo jack sockets (providing the same control functions as the DIN) and allowing for user flexibility. A midi switcher could utilise these connections for example.

(DIN pin 1 – Foot switch jack 2 -Tip – REVERB )
(DIN pin 4 – Foot switch jack 2 – Ring – BOOST )
(DIN pin 3 – Foot switch jack 1 – Tip – LEAD/RHYTHM )
(DIN pin 5 – Foot switch jack 1- Ring – CLEAN/RHYTHM )

9 SPEAKER CONNECTOR: Use a high quality Speakon connector (or equivalent) to attach your favourite cabinet. If you don’t have a male Speakon plug, a standard mono ¼” jack connector can be used.
IMPEDANCE SELECTOR SWITCH: Used to select the optimum load impedance matching. It should be set to match the total load of the connected loud speakers. Incorrect setting will not cause damage or reduced power, but your potential sound quality may be compromised.

Pay attention to the impedance if multiple cabs are used.
4-8 Ω setting: 1×4 Ω , 2×8 Ω cab or 2×16 Ω cabs (connected in parallel).
16 Ω setting: 1×16 Ω cab.
This amplifier is safe to operate without speakers connected. This enables use with only headphones or just as a pre-amplifier within your DAW system.

UP AND RUNNING

Before connecting a cabinet, check your settings are correct:

IMPEDANCE SELECTOR SWITCH: Used to select the optimum load impedance matching. It should be set to match the total speaker load connected to the output socket. Incorrect setting will not cause damage, but output power and sound quality may be compromised.

SPEAKER CONNECTORS: The minimum recommended load is 4 Ohms. Speakon connectors are advised for connecting your cabinets but ¼” speaker jacks and cable can be used. Do not use microphone or instrument cables.

Always switch off and disconnect the power cord when not in use.

Check out the rest of the IRT cabinet range at www.Laney.co.uk

The IRT-SLS can be connected to your chosen cabinet via Speakon to jack, or jack to jack connectors in either a single or multiple cabinet configuration (as shown above).

USB INTERFACE FOR PC, MAC AND iPAD

USB Interface options:

• USB2.0 Bidirectional to PC/Mac/iPad etc.
• Record output of amplifier with or without a speaker load connected.
• Simultaneously record dry guitar signal for later processing or Re-Amping.
• Re-Amp guitar track changing the settings as required.
• Re-Amp guitar track with external stomp boxes as required.
• Add tube amplifier and/or power amplifier warmth to digital guitar tracks with or without speaker load.

Record out via USB

To run into iPad or iPad mini connect via a Camera USB adaptor, PC/MAC connects via standard A-B USB cable, for use with the Garage Band ®, Audacity ®, MixPad Audio Mixer ®, Pro Tools and similar. It should be noted that the audio output of an iPad or iPad mini is disengaged and returned via the USB. This can be picked up via a rear panel monitor switch on the amplifier headphones in stereo, or if required, routed into a PA system/powered cabinets.

Re-Amp Facility

During recording to your chosen DAW, the left channel carries an unprocessed guitar signal, with the right carrying the amplifier processed signal. If you need to separate the clean and processed signals, simply copy the track in stereo with one track panned left and the other track panned right, then both raw and processed signals are available independently.
This allows for the re-amplifying of a sound that may have been over processed initially. To re-amp via Garage Band on the iPad, solo the original channel and record a new one with the ‘link cable’ in place. More information is available on the following pages.

The processed signal can be emulated or non-emulated dependant on the cabinet emulation switch selection.

USB INTERFACE FOR PC, MAC & iPAD

IRT-SLS USB Recording:

Connect your USB recording device (PC/MAC or iPad) via an appropriate USB cable.
Your amplifier will send two audio tracks to your recording device:
(1) On the Left channel the direct unaffected guitar signal.

This can be used at a later date for “Re-Amping”.

(2) On the Right channel the amplified fully processed signal.
These can be split into separate tracks in various ways dependent on your software. The signal level of the left channel, sent to the recording device, can be adjusted with the rear panel level control.
The signal level of the right channel is controlled by the IRT-SLS volume controls.
The processed signal sent to the right channel can be emulated or left untreated via the emulation switch. (Note this switch also affects the signal being sent via the XLR D.I out).

Alternatively record left and right as two separate tracks for maximum flexibiIity.

All this can be done without a speaker load connected.
However adding a speaker can in some cases give extra mechanical dynamics to the recorded sound.

USB INTERFACE FOR PC, MAC & iPAD

IRT-SLS USB “Re-Amping”:

Connect USB cable between the amplifier and recording device, then connect a good quality screened guitar cable from the rear panel “Re-Amp” output jack and loop round the front panel to guitar input jack.

Route lead in an anti-clockwise direction around the amplifier to avoid hum pick-up from the power transformer.

Output the original unprocessed guitar track by monitoring it on your record device.

For lowest noise performance, adjust the Dry signal send control for the maximum undistorted record level on your DAW.

Start your record device. The monitored track will be sent to the amplifier input and the device will record the now processed signal from the amplifier output. The controls on the amplifier can be adjusted to obtain the new sound you require.
You will now have the original track and the new re-processed version.

Make sure your monitor track output is being sent to the left channel output or both.

USB INTERFACE FOR PC, MAC & iPAD

IRT-SLS USB “Re-Amping” with added Stomp box Effects:

Proceed as normal for “Re-Amping” except in this case insert your FX box/s into the Guitar lead from the Re-Amp out jack to the Guitar amplifier input. The recorded Left channel will contain the original unprocessed signal now with your effects only added. The right channel will contain the same sound but also processed via the Studio amplifier.

QUICK START SETTINGS

Use the Watts to control the overall volume of the IRT-SLS.
In the Rhythm and Lead examples, the output section is pushed into output distortion when the volume controls are set at 7 or above.

TUBE TIPS

The IRT-SLS uses specially selected and tested high voltage pre-amp 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 a van.
• 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.

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.
Problematic tubes can cause crackling noises, hiss, excessive distortion, microphony and low output power.

Important: The user should not attempt to service this product!

Method for replacing tube V1 and V2 (by Qualified Service Engineers only).
Firstly switch off and unplug the amplifier from the mains supply. Remove the top cover. The tubes are protected with screen cans; to remove, push down and twist the can anti clockwise and then pull up. The tube can now be gently pulled out. Take care when inserting the new tube to make sure all pins are correctly aligned. Replace the top cover before connecting to the mains supply.

Important: ONLY fit the recommended tube types:

V1: ECC83 – part number – 005570

V2: ECC83 – part number – 005550
Failure to do so could result in malfunction/mis-opertaion of your IRT-SLS.

DO NOT operate with the top cover removed.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

In order to take full advantage of your new product and enjoy long and trouble-free performance, please read this owner’s manual carefully, and keep it in a safe place for future reference.

1) Unpacking: On unpacking your product please check carefully for any signs of damage that may have occurred whilst in transit from the Laney factory to your dealer. In the unlikely event that there has been damage, please re-pack your unit in its original carton and consult your dealer. We strongly advise you to keep your original transit carton, since in the unlikely event that your unit should develop a fault, you will be able to return it to you dealer for rectification securely packed.

2) Amplifier Connection: In order to avoid damage, it is advisable to establish and follow a pattern for turning on and off your system. With all system parts connected, turn on source equipment, tape decks, cd players, mixers, effects processors etc, BEFORE turning on your amplifier. Many products have large transient surges at turn on and off which can cause damage to your speakers. By turning on your bass amplifier LAST and making sure its level control is set to a minimum, any transients from other equipment should not reach your loud speakers. Wait till all system parts have stabilised, usually a couple of seconds. Similarly when turning off your system always turn down the level controls on your bass amplifier and then turn off its power before turning off other equipment.

3) Cables: Never use shielded or microphone cable for any speaker connections as this will not be substantial enough to handle the amplifier load and could cause damage to your complete system.
