Laney AH-40

Laney was founded in 1967 by Lyndon Laney near Birmingham. He had played in a band together with Robert Plant & John Bonham. At that time, there were no amplifiers that were loud enough, so Lyndon decided to develop and build his own amplifiers. Word quickly spread and demand was high. This was the beginning of Laney Amplification. The Black Country Custom Amps (BCC) are designed and manufactured in the U.K. in the "Black Country" region near Birmingham, just as they were back then. Laney is still a family-run company which is managed by James Laney.
