Isn't Iommi a hardcore Laney user?

His live rigs went Marshall, Laney, Marshall, Laney. I think Sabotage was in the second Laney phase. Until his latest Laney phase his settings were mids on 0 with everything else on 10 plus a top boost pedal.

His studio rigs were different. I think he would just rent a load of amps and use whatever was right for the track. Could be any amp on any track, you'd prolly have to ask him but I doubt if he remembers too well.

There was a point in the 80's where he was using Mesa Boogie MKII or MKIII Coliseum heads. I'm not sure what albums, but I know he used them. He's playing one on his Star Licks instructional video, and pretty much raving about it.

Oh yeah, I've been coming across his rigs lately coz it seems like he was one the users of some gear I'm looking in to. I have seen him say he tried a 300w Boogie and didn't like it but used some small Boogies on some recordings.

I remember that. I was spun out that he was using Mesa/Boogie amps and not Laney.
