    Medium Quality

    Laney GC50Published on 08/18/11 at 08:10
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    This is a guitar amplifier transistor 50 W.
    An entry-Hi and Lo for connecting the guitar.
    A Remote-connection, to engage the overdrive via a pedal.
    On the back:
    -Effects loop.
    -Output for a second baffle.
    -Line Out jack.
    Front:
    -Gain knob.
    Part-overdrive with a setting for the density of "Drive" and a "level", noted that to engage the overdrive manually just pull the button level.
    Potentiometer-controlled Bass, Middle, Treeble.
    Reverb-potentiometer.
    Volume-potentiometer.

    UTILIZATION

    Very simple to operate, the settings are lambdas as in almost all guitar amps.
    The manual was not very explicit.

    UTILIZATION

    Very simple to operate, the settings are lambdas as in almost all guitar amps.
    The manual was not very explicit.
    To get a good sound is a bit complicated, but ultimately it all depends on taste.

    SOUNDS

    This is my first "real" guitar amp, the overdrive provides a broad but limited sound to suit a Rock style, without going to extremes.
    For sound in general, as I already said, it's a transistor amp, it's a very square, but no real depth or warmth, style rather "synthetic", whether in the clear or Overdrive.
    I used my first guitar Prince P-335 and a SL house and a Epiphone Les Paul Black Beauty ... But this does not increase the sound quality provided.
    I do not like the "Clean" lacks all the overdrive can be interesting in some cases.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have since 1996, I used it often when I started, and then purchase a Marshall's relegated to a corner, then I came out every 2 years, just to laugh, but over time it aged, and had some problems with its "Buzz", and loss of power and volume ... I'm revising a week ago by a boyfriend, he seems to go back on track.
    Its weight is not very consistent, and power can play in bars as long as you do not have a drummer too nervous!
    Level money, difficult to know the time, but I think I could have found better in the same price range.
