Laney CUB8 All Tube Classic

The Laney CUB8 is an all tube guitar amp with its roots fairly and squarely back in the very beginning of tube amp production. The design ethos behind the CUB amps is ‘Small is Beautiful!’ There are plenty of situations when small is king and having an amplifier like the Laney CUB8 allows you to get ‘THAT’ vintage sound.

The Laney CUB8 features a classic single-ended Class A design, and is loaded with a single ECC83 in the pre amp section and a single 6V6GT in the output section generating 5 watts RMS of vintage tube tone. The Laney CUB8’s control panel is simplicity personified – a tone control, a volume control, Hi and LO input and that’s your lot. The Laney CUB8 houses an HH speaker.

Using a Laney CUB8 is straightforward, plug in, dial in your tone and wind the volume up a little and the 6V6GT’s respond in a bright, bouncy and brilliant fashion. Drive the output section harder and the increased 2nd and 3rd order harmonics give the tone a pronounced bottom end and a lovely lower mid.
