Best value: Excellent
What kind of amplification (lamp, transistor ,...)? What is the power dlivre? What connection? What rglages the effects? * ...

Amp 5 watt lamps, good sound output, regardless of volume, enough to make knobs mumuse.
Reverb for my part I find trs correct discrte certainly, but well made I think.
enter, HI and LO, but for my part, I only use the HI between dlivrer that allows the power of the beast.
Possibility to connect a speaker, and effects loop.
Well, I tried it a few hours now.

Aesthetically, it is really nice, good, must love the British style, but it has a pretty face. I like the knobs white, gives it a stamp.
Dpliable that allows the foot to tilt the amp, even if everything seems a bte, is apprciable.
Please note that the grip seems a bit feeble, too, I advise you immediately of being protected, by taping plastic around it.
Ok, was not terrible, but has no risk of damaging.
APRS, if you do not &#39;travel and keep it in the living room, this is not essential.

UTILIZATION

The configuration is it simple? Gets it easy to sound good? The manual is clear and sufficient? * ...
This is an amp everything from classic, two inputs, poatrd volume of clean, switch to brightness, volume and level of drive, adjustable bass middle and treble, reverb and tone.
In plug and play, no worries. If we add their effects pedals, requested a little time rglage. But hey, like all amps!
All knobs are sensitive and you can really shape the sound according to his wishes.

The manual, well it&#39;s 5 or 6 pages in English. At the same time, it is not really necessary.

just missing a tremolo!

SOUNDS

Is it your style of music? With what (s) guitar (s) / low (s) or effect (s) do you play? What kinds of sounds you get and with what rglages ("crystalline", " ",....) fatty what are the sounds you prfrez, you dtest? *

I have since last Saturday, I could test it for a few hours Sunday.

Hop, came home, my strat direct connection, clear sound fabulous (c&#39;tait a priority for me) the distortion really gniale English too, I really like this amp, besides its quality by the possibility to sculpt the sound!

Deuxime test, connection of effect pedals, compressor, MXR M102, a TS808, a Jekyll and Hyde.
Not bad, but I feel he resents the compressor, it hums a little time.
To see ... I found that to be cushy, it was good trs plug the jack under penalty of buzz.
I vir compressor, chang two cables with new ones, and no more buzzing. I&#39;ll go do some shopping the next move of cables.

Troisime test the effects loop. And well ... it&#39;s really not that good must admit ... I have just one branch fulltonedeja vibe, and it is clear that the sound of the guitar when using no effect DGRAD is not bad ... yet it is endowed with a true bypass.
So, I place in the chaining guitar amp, and looks even better when to go.
APRS to see, that tinkering may be well the knobs, you can get something good by using the effects loop ...
I have not tried with the delay, apparently, is a type of effect as the loop of Laney bear well (according to the manual).
For me, it&#39;s not too teacher, I use little or rarely trs effects modlisation but if you have a set of 5 or 6 pedals, you really have to test them before the offer!

Lareverb seems well made, although apparently, not everyone soitpas agree on this point. It is discrete, but all the same Submitted. For me, it is of good quality. Sure, there are better, but even when a password.

I play blues, blues rock mainly, and is nickel for a. The distortion really trs Led Zep sound when you push it well. I considered not using it that crunch, but ultimately, I think I&#39;ll use it grows well, and use the OD of the Jekyll and Hyde for the crunch, the TS808 as my booster. The distortion of the JH trs going well too, not too pushed, it gives her a banging and aggressive, hard kind that crunch!

Apart from the effects loop, this amp lacks a tremolo to make it almost perfect!

OVERALL OPINION

How long you use it and what is the particular feature you like best and least? Have you tried many other models before acqurir? How do you report qualitprix ? With the exprience, you do again this choice? * ...
I voualis a very versatile amp that can allow me to play first home and with my group if possible.
I have been using trs little time, but have tried twice dj store (once for over two hours!), And 2 or 3 hours at home.
I cum forums and advice for over a month, I tried several other 5 watts, which are generally incomparable in terms of price, quality or power ... (Fender Super Champ, vox ac4, epiphone junior ...)

What is nice is that you can take home a small volume without rveiller neighbors o girlfriend with great quality sound!
And at the same time, we feel that the BTE has in the stomach.
For a repeated &#39;I am sure it goes without problem (Checker in September) for a scne, may go but I think that the transplant of a sound (via a microphone to enjoy the HP celestion) is ncssaire, especially for his clean, unless you only play stuff zen of course ...
Or treat yourself to a baffle.
Anyway, if it&#39;s convincing, I dbar my VOX AC30 CC2!

Apart from the effects loop, weight (20kg), but it&#39;s bearable, and, as I&#39;m boring if there was a tremolo effect on it, it&#39;s almost a no-fault for this amp is hand England.
Ah, another little trick, when you switch the drive to the clean sound, if the reverb is active and the gain lev slap a little reverb for change. I do not know if I express myself well, but all fawn, nothing serious I think.

I think I referrer this choice, this amp is almost unique in its range, and if I had to take something else, it would be a superior quality amp, so much more.
Good qualitprix, although these can vary widely ...
A try at least and if you fall in love, empty the nest egg!

Edit: Ok, APRS a little practice, I admit that as some people say their opinion, how Laney was able to put a reverb as rotten as a receiver?
