  lucky lise's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " The AMP THAT I WAS LOOKING FOR ..."

  Characteristics

  ALL LAMP 15 WATTS 2 CHANNEL LIGHT AND OVERDRIVE. + reverb effects loop.

  Utilization

  VERY OFTEN AS SET ULTRA SIMPLE, plug it up the sound is adjusted slightly so very simple, and it sounds ...
  
  
  
  Ideal for playing at home and in AS group. As part of a group that plays hard, maybe if you can, connect to a good external speaker, which automatically disconnects the hp.

  Sounds

  Ultra versatile amp except the extreme (pedal provide the trash, but it is not the target of this amp, although it is possible, no doubt ...)
  
  Clear sound to fall, which looks very much like the Fender Princeton Reverb reissue gorgeous (as I have elsewhere), a bit thinner in the notes that the princeton (which still costs three times). They also share the same hp Excellent 10 inch jensen alnico.
  
  We play some really clear on that channel all styles (blues, jazz, rock, country, ballad, funk, ... reaggae short while, given the quality of the light.
  
  
  
  For comparison, I have a mesa Boogie Mark IV, a Peavey Classic 50, a fender field xp, a Fender Princeton, and well made by Princeton, he sounds better in natural light through its dynamic and that all small world, where the tariff for some has no common measure ...
  
  He really respects the sound of each guitar. It is rare that amp will sound each instrument (Les Paul, Strat, tele, sg, half box etc. ..) with the same quality and also respectful way.
  
  
  
  Saturation is as beautiful, it allows the game to the volume on the guitar to spend a beautiful rich and full saturation of harmonic crystal clear sound, through the wonderful crunch, really terrible ...
  
  When I look back on the Mark IV (in my studio), I'm pretty confused at the beginning as the sound of the mesa seems to me more natural and less inflated on the mids (great amp anyway ....). Well we get on the mesa saturations much thicker and typed seen the power, but the Laney is .... natural for my taste. Attention saturation level to its max will not gigantic. For the big gain, will boost some desirable (but not necessarily necessary ...)
  
  
  
  With this amp, the guitar makes sound, it will follow you wherever you go. This is not always the case with other gear will require guitarist adapts to the amp, then this is the amp that adapts to scratch.
  
  
  
  The reverb sounds great, really well thought out amp.
  
  I have not yet tested the effects loop "by pass" which is adjustable on 2 bd position 0, + 10 db.

  Overall Opinion

  I have this amp for 1 month, suddenly, I am selling my MESA MARK IV ... and the small fender Champ xp .... true, especially since I do not need much power.
  
  My revelation ... it allows me to sound like every guitarist I try to imitate just touched without torture with tons of settings.
  
  Oh I forgot, it is really affordable price level. Top value for money good finish. I would not be surprised to learn that many pros use in the studio or on stage (with fallback to front).
  
  
  
  No, I do not work at Laney, I did not even know these amps a month ago.
  
  I tested it in a shop in Paris on the advice of a friend, I went direct with ...
  
  Deserves to be tried.
  
  
  
  With this amp, plug, play, and we are pleased to make it sound good guitars.
  
  
  
  Yes, I would do this choice ...
  
  
  
  Good zic all.

  leau2001's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " SUper small all-tube amp"

  Characteristics

  What kind of amplification (lamp, transistor, ...)?
  
  All lamp ... very good sound, very dynamic ...
  
  15w easy to use in her room .. a loop of effect

  Utilization

  I use it at home, but also in concert with recovery and recurrence in front of a SM57 ...

  Sounds

  This is not a Marshall, but the sound is very British style rather Vox, but I'd rather Laney ;) Very Blues, Rock Very ... but with some good pedals he can do anything ...

  Overall Opinion

  SUper small amp, which can do a lot of things ... very good dynamic ... We could believe that the cabinet 10 is too small but ok, the sound is there ... can be well on him .. Connect an external cabinet I recommend for those who want to play in their room, but also considering playing in a band ...

  dr riff's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Small ... but mighty!"

  Characteristics

  1) The VC 15110 is:
  
  - An amp all-tube Class A / B, equipped 3x12AX7 preamp and power 2xEL84
  
  - 2 channels (bright and saturated)
  
  - A power of 15W to 14kilos! Which IMHO is more than enough to rehearse and play concerts in bars. If you consider the greatest scenes, it will be essential to the transplant and / or hook up an external firm for better projection.
  
  - 1 HP 10-inch Jensen.
  
  2) For connectors, from left to right:
  
  - 2 inputs: HIGH who brings more gain and LOW (softer sound)
  
  - 1 volume knob for the clean channel
  
  - 1 BRIGHT switch that works on top mediums
  
  - 1 DRIVE button to manage the channel gain saturated and a volume knob.
  
  - The switch to switch from one channel to the other
  
  - A 3-band EQ (bass, middle, treble) common to both channels
  
  - A reverb
  
  - A TONE button is a button on the presence of other brands.
  
  3) Back:
  
  - Effect loop
  
  - An output for an external firm
  
  - Footswitch input (not supplied)
  
  As you can see, it has everything a great! Ideal to play at home because it is very civilized amp. Even at low volume the sound is good. The only downside in my opinion, the size of HP. At high volume there is a slight loss of bass.

  Utilization

  The manual has some settings that allow you to familiarize with the beast. The best is still to connect and search ... a bit! The grip is very simple. I would say natural.

  Sounds

  At her, everything will depend on what you are going to connect it.
  
  Laney amps are famous for their clear sound, somewhere between Fender (too garish for my taste) and Vox (too colorful). Attention, it is not neutral as far as the Peavey Classic 30.
  
  1) Clear Sound
  
  They are round, creamy, full and warm. Whether with single coils or humbuckers, the amp responds to all the game variations of the right hand. With the volume to 4 simply attack a little more frankly the ropes to feel that little natural distortion.
  
  Depending on the guitar you have browsed between Dire Straits and Geoges Benson. This still leaves a wide range of styles to express themselves.
  
  2) Sound saturated
  
  It has only the name! Fans of psycho-trash-core, go your way! This amp is deliberately aimed vintage. No big distortion taking off wallpaper. Let's talk about big crunch blues-rock genre 70s. Here, the VC 15 is at home.
  
  3) The effects
  
  Note that cash well the pedals of all kinds, and most importantly, it restores the sound! Above I tested a Fulltone OCD, Mi Audio Tubezone, Benrod RedFuzz and Screamer Classic, Clean Boost, plus all modulations (chorus, flange, phaser, wah, Univibe, delay). Well, everything goes! For some it takes time to find the right settings.
  
  This amp deserves pedals if you want good quality look good.

  Overall Opinion

  I hesitated with the Fender Blues Junior. What a disappointment! Cold, no personality, no adjustments compared to VC 15 for a price much higher.
  
  I bought my VC 15 247 in England at the time DV or pound sterling was low. I paid € 260 with the FDP! Unbeatable!
  
  The +:
  
  - Very good quality / price ratio
  
  - Ample power (15W) for a ridiculous weight (14 kgs)
  
  - Low profile
  
  - Very well equipped
  
  - Sound! Clear that both saturated
  
  The -:
  
  - The size of HP, 10 "I remember.
  
  In the end, this is a very good tube amp that can do many things. I remake that choice without hesitation if Mr. Laney decided to include an HP 12 "... but then I quibble.
  
  Ideal companion for the home game, the répétitons and small scenes.
  
  I regretted it soon after sold! I also stayed at Laney TT20 with a head. But this is another story. To be continued ...

  The LuS's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Lamp 15W, two inputs a softer, an effects loop.
  
  Adjustments presence, low, medium, tone, switchable with or without distortion
  
  two separate volume.

  Utilization

  It's simple, no USB! phew.
  
  The manual is useless.

  Sounds

  I play it live or through a NOVA SYSTEM for effects.
  
  Only studio just what to Absorbed power.
  
  I spent a standard telecaster and a Les Paul Studio. So big difference already.
  
  I get sound asser easily saturated.
  
  It has good power and should be put to achieve a sound worthy of my pickups .. (so beware if the headphone ears ..) This makes me think that it would suffice largely small concert.
  
  For the softer it takes more time, we can not get things wrong, and I'm not an expert.

  Overall Opinion

  Well I think that must remain an amateur because I had an old Peavey Transistor 30w, long ago.
  
  And I play mostly folk,
  
  My opinion is that already, I bought the old version with the single vent in the center. I noticed that they have put two later, and I understand, as the mine quite hot.
  
  Otherwise it is very simple and it sounds almost as good as the big brands.
  
  I left mine in the cold this winter, and the reverb is dead .. Too bad she was right, well this is my fault.
  
  
  
  + Good power stage, you need to add a loop (personally I wah but that alone warms the amp off).
  
  Simple is the key and it's tough.
  
  Good finish, mine is 4 years old and not move.
  
  
  
  -No standby, you can find in this category amp.
  
  A detail-a switch "brightness" that we necessarily switch.
  
  
  
  Try it if you can, it's the best.

  lumberjak's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  I gives brief characteristics:
  
  15 W,
  
  5 lamps (assembly plant after manufacturer instructions)
  
  EC83 High Grade V1
  
  V2 Standard EC83
  
  V3 Standard EC83
  
  V4 V5 paired with EL84
  
  V5 EL84 paired with V4
  
  An HP 10 ",
  
  A clear channel, a channel saturated; a reverb, a bright, an EQ (B, M, T), General Tone 1,
  
  An effects loop, a footswitch jack, an external HP jack
  
  
  
  Very good overall quality of the whole. No visual defects or notorious operation.
  
  
  
  Made in UK
  
  Light.
  
  Enconbrement reduced.

  Utilization

  The sound ... eternal quest, is easily obtained.
  
  The type of guitar used shall have a casting on the end result, of course.

  Sounds

  In my case, and the amp I own, the crunch comes clear in his "early" (Flight 6 or 7).
  
  This is inconvenient for plans where the sound has to remain "pure".
  
  So the studio / concert, if the noise level is "high", the crunch will be obtained at a disadvantage. This will increase very noticeably with humbuckers!
  
  Channel in "Drive", EQ, and the "tone" generally does not influence significantly on the final rendering.
  
  
  
  (Tests made with Strat, tele, LP HH/P90)

  Overall Opinion

  Currently equipped with:
  
  TAD EC83CC V1 7025 High Grade
  
  12AX7 V2
  
  12AX7 V3
  
  V4 V5 paired with EL84
  
  V4 V5 EL84 paired with, it is not possible to have a clear sound beyond 7.
  
  
  
  Once found the right combination of lamps, the overall rating of this amp will sound very good to Excellent problem.
  
  
  
  3 years of use have not degraded appearance, qualities and interests.
  
  An HP 12 "would be a very appreciable to give more" safe "at all!

  Phil7292's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Beautiful sound quality but uncertain"

  Characteristics

  15W lamp
  
  Schema very classic lamps 12A7 and EL84
  
  Output for 8 Ohm extension cabinet no headphones or Aux
  
  Can connect a loop effect

  Utilization

  Easy to use. BUT down after 3 weeks ... Transformer of power I think. Replaced as warranty.
  
  No need to push for the sound of sth nice, so puissanece exploitable even in an apartment, your neighbors are nice
  
  Reverb somewhat artificial

  Sounds

  Its not aggressive, punchy serious but not down a lot, acute rather hot.
  
  Overall, a very balanced and musical say, much less type of HP Celestion, I prefer.

  Overall Opinion

  Good sound, nice and dynamifque
  
  But unreliable, especially not if you buy the n're not sure of the SAV ...

  bniklazz's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " For me it is super"

  Characteristics

  Amplification Tube
  
  15 watts
  
  .....

  Utilization

  Using very simple, turn the knobs and the sound changes .... it's magic!
  
  The manual is useless.
  
  Readily obtained a good sound only if one has a good guitar!

  Sounds

  The clean sounds are very pure, that is why I bought it.
  
  I use a telecaster with clean sounds are beautiful with great purity in the sound.
  
  With the FA I type in the blues with some nice crunch to overdrive type 70's rock.
  
  For distos nastiest, add a pedal because ampmli does not saturate much.
  
  I'm using a blackstar htdist, a distal tube. The cash amp pretty well the powerful distortion to go from one register to hard rock extreme metal!
  
  For me the important thing is the beauty of a clear channel, then we can find a good distortion.

  Overall Opinion

  I use this amp for 2 years before I had a transistor amp, so I pout it was a revelation.
  
  What I like most is that it respects the characteristics of the guitar (pickups simple humbuckers, active ...)
  
  At that price and made in England, it sure is serious.

  Waloototo's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Vc15 110 2nd generation"

  Characteristics

  new range VC, restyled in 2008 at the onset of the range of laney lionheart.
  
  2 * EL84 tad amp (15w) class AB or B
  
  3 * ECC83 preamp selected tad (not "high grade" in V1 position contrary to what is mentioned in the data sheet of the amp.
  
  the control panel is the same as the original version with its 2 channels, only the design of the amp to change the reverb and no longer has jurisdiction, but digital, without being too bad. (equivalent to spring reverb of the first generation without the stress of false contact related to transportation.

  Utilization

  identical to the first generation except perhaps that by replacing the position ECC83 ECC83 V1 by a "high grade" the clean does dénatureré least at high volume.

  Naturally less safe than a 12 "or less wide spectrum of sound.

  Overall Opinion

  This amp is still a standard recommended despite its small imperfect finish, I am talking aesthetics (eg the logo of mine is not right volume knob not positioned in position 0 ..) it's only short range détaille.la Made in England is always sold at a price made in china.on almost forgive the manufacturer so the little details and finishing does not have relocated the range in its Asian factory as many have done well to have preserved some jobs in Europe.
  
  this is not an amp is a Laney! what else!

  jetlag's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Great for home, rehearsal and small gigs"

  Characteristics

  see previous description

  Utilization

  configuration is excellent, a full connectivity and the clean sound is very good and the overdrive channel is really nice. The manual was quickly replaced by my ears.
  
  Knob The reverb is shy and you have to go far in the race for the effect significantly.

  Sounds

  For a pop rock record, I do not change it for anything. It does the job! I play with a bunch of skyscrapers, the LP studio in the Telecaster and a real treat

  Overall Opinion

  I put a lot of time finding an amp that I can carry around.
  
  
  
  If they would leave one with a 12-hp, I'll line up to buy one right out. A wonderful amp to a most excellent value for money
