UTILIZATION

There are lots of buttons, but in fact it is very easy to use because each channel has its own EQ and reverb & switch "SCOOP" that changes the sound of the amp

Footswicth The book consists of three switches with LED, for selecting channels and to enable or disable the reverb. There is also an LED to indicate which channel you are on the included footswitch directmeent. Very strong

SOUNDS

This is certainly the most versatile amp ever!

- Clear Channel:
A sound that remains clear, dry, slamming, even at high volume, with a switch "bright", ideal for funk

- 1 Canal Drive
A mixture of crunch / distortion where you can get bluesy or rock sound as smoothly as the gain you choose, push down, its just a distortion

- 2 Channel Drive
It is more oriented rock / hard rock / metal with the heavy distortion. the sound is more "modern" than the first drive channel.
You each time a gain control and master volume independent. The more one pushes the gain the more distortion ...

There is a switch that changes the SCOOP equalization and sounds more convaicant, a bit like playing live or in a large 4x12 cab closed that tighten the grain!

The reverb is correct and always practical.

There is an effects loop and 2 outputs, so you can connect two cabinets!

OVERALL OPINION

Very well built, efficient & simple! Laney This is a very good value for money, hard to beat, with Marshall it is necessary to easily double the price for something to correct ...

Also you can change the lamp, the ideal is to test several models to adapt the sound to our tastes ...

This amp was made by Laney to be versatile, you can easily play any style of playing the eq and switches. Moreover, I find this amp complies with the personality of each guitar, something rather rare in this kind of amps!

Finally, you sound a little benfica lamp, especially for the drive channel, even at low volume, it's still a big advantage over all lamps
