SeriesLaney Hardcore Max

I went to Mr. C's music in Marlboro, Massachusetts and purchased this amp for about $250. This is my first amp, and it is great for both beginners and experts. It's loud enough to be heard over a drumset, and not heavy enough to need wheels. All in all, a great choice. There are two separate channels, a clean channel and a "crunch" (distort) channel. The crunch channel is very versatile, and can be used for metal, punk, classic rock, everything. There is also a headphone jack for late-night practicing and a global FX loop for pedals & stuff. This amp is very versatile, and VERY LOUD when you need it. There is one problem, which is the bass EQ knob on the crunch channel came loose a few weeks after i bought it. It rattles occasionally, but it is not annoying enough for me to take it back to Mr. C's. TI amy be a little heavy for some of you littler guys & gals out there, but suck it up & go work out or somehting, you'll be fine. I really don't know how the amp is compared to others but it seems to be well put together and has stood up to a decent amount of abuse. This is a very excellent amp, for practicing at home and doing gigs, and is very versatile, definitely a great choice for beginners and experts.

i bought this amp in a local guitar shop here in Harrogate. i bought it as i needed a step up from the tiny practice amp i had before on the advice of a freind who has a similar higher wattage amp. i paid only £150 for it which i thought was great at the time. For its size it is very loud without impeding the quality of the sound too much. Also for a small amp the number of features on it are increadble allowing a vast range and stlye of sound from any guitar. The amp itself is very small and not the 'beefiest' of equipment and not very good to show off with, but then again it is a small amp and not really for that purpose. It is extreemly well built and very durable, can withstand a good kicking. Its also of reasonable quality for its price but sufferes from a week handle which broke after a few months. This amp is a very good quality little amp and is well worth the £150 i shelled out for it. is only draw back is its not big and 'beefy' This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com
