Value For Money :
Excellent
any amplification transistors, 2 hp Celestion 10-inch format or right back, metal grille with logo LANEY screwed & glued ... handle on top of the amp only, even if it is within 20 pounds, casually ... air vent on top of the head and fan (... a bit noisy) on the back of the head ...
on paper, this amp delivers 300 watts ... it should be noted is that the power rating of the head may be issued with an extension cabinet
- Front:
an active input jack, another passive (high gain / low gain)
XLR output
- Back of the head:
a connection jack extension speaker (8 ohms)
two jack connections loops effects (FX send / return FX)
a jack "Tuner Out"
power plug (removable)
Settings ...
- Gain a knob
- A button to activate the compression
- knob an "enhancer"
- Six pots of EQ: "bass", "para lo-mid" (frequency + level), "hi-para mid" (level fraquency +) and "treble"
- A button to activate the limiter (to avoid the buzz at too high volume)
- A volume knob
- A button to activate the tweeter
the settings are good, it does not crack (and the pots are super nice and more ... well ...), I just j'trouve a damper on the tweeter which, if engaged, limits seriously the power reserve that can spit out two to hp ...
Another downside, the low input jacks are plastic rather poor quality ... with a passive bass, I changed the passive input accordingly, for a model metal much stronger ...
otherwise, that's good, the construction quality is really ... and something that is really good is that with an extension speaker, in concert, you can easily put this amp back, and there only to stoop to make adjustments between pieces ...! not need to turn our backs on public ... ^ ^
UTILIZATION
The sound is fairly typical of transistors Laney ... following that grows on the low or mid frequencies will be obtained or snapping sound very deep, but always right ... here does not bleed one bit! I used it in a spirit rather "punk", with its very slamming and it sounds really deadly ... this amp is really to advise metalheads and punk grass, it's clear ...
here can be a good stepping stone as Trace Elliot amps, for example ...
on the other hand, I've never played it with an active bass, so my advice is incomplete on this specific topic ...
the settings are amazingly simple ... two to three quick tests with the vacuum and go ... amp is a rock, do not forget ...!
SOUNDS
... I've said it all before, I think ... : X
OVERALL OPINION
Used for 3 years, I have set aside for board on a stack ... in fact I had bought in an emergency after Peavey has scorched my head ... I think this amp is ideal for a beginner who wants to have a good supply of power to start a group, and is willing to invest in an expansion cabinet to start playing shows in good conditions ...
the price / quality ratio is excellent, that's why I recommend it to anyone who would like an alternative to Rumble100 combos and other crappy low-end (personal opinion, right ... ^ ^), a view very "R'N'R" (metal, punk, grunge, etc.)
