The Laney AOR100 (Advanced Overdrive Response) is a 100-watt all-tube head from the mid-to-late 1980s that became closely associated with the British hard rock scene. Its three-channel design covers clean, crunch, and full-lead tones, with the lead channel producing a tight, harmonically rich distortion well suited to the era's high-gain playing styles. Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath used Laney amplifiers extensively, and the AOR series was a flagship product during this period.
