Tony Iommi

The father of Heavy Metal, Tony Iommi has seared the sound of his legendary Laney amps and cabs into the history of rock ‘n’ roll.

From the late ‘60’s grind of a cranked LA100 BL 100W head (boosted with a modified Arbiter Dallas Rangemaster because it just wasn’t heavy enough) through a LA412 HLC cab, to the 90’s smack of a signature model GH 100 TI head through a TI412S cabinet, he has written, recorded and toured some of most iconic music in the history of Classic Metal.

That iconic Iommi guitar tone is a sound that countless guitarists have aimed for, and it’s now possible to get a bit closer by playing through authentic digital versions of two of the Laney cabinets used by Tony.

Celestion has released faithful digital images of a pair of iconic cabinets used extensively by Tony Iommi, on record and stage with Black Sabbath, brought to you as a collection of Impulse Responses (IRs).

The Tony Iommi cab collection contains two cabinets used extensively by Tony Iommi:

Tony Iommi Laney LA412 HLC: Closed back 4×12”, Green label Goodmans® speakers. A late 60s cab recorded by Tony from 1969 through the early 1980s – it is THE sound of those early Black Sabbath records. Look no further.

Tony Iommi Laney TI412S: Closed back, 4×12 G12H 75 M Celestion speakers. This cab was used extensively in the studio and on tour through the ‘90s – the sound of latter era Black Sabbath.

Cabinets are available either singly or as a collection.
