Laney VC15-110

Amp 15w lamps

USE

Config. Very simple, the manual is good for the back: p it makes us easily pleased this gem, whatever style you play

SONORITS

So I play everything from Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits) Metallica (masi less), and I must say that the clean is exceptional. A distortion die for, believe me spit a good no worries Prcis and clear. I mainly a US Strat, Les Paul Custom with Seymour Duncan, Aria Pro II Custom Shop ... Whatever makes the guitar great. But I must say that even when this amp has a predominance for ballads requiring a clean sound and especially the blues. In addition, a long time now I seek an amp for home and lamp, well I found: D And that can not tell me it's too strong, it is the id al believe me. Preque longer needs my Vox Tonelab SE

Amend. of 15/08/06: To play metal, even when you will need to add a pedal (try the Master Digitech metal, the wedding with the amp is fine)

NOTICE GLOBAL

I reu today, but I'm sr my opinion, has been several times that I use and it is perfect, very versatile amp in my opinion but everyone adpend .dropoff window Qualitprix irreproachable, must fall into the right store: P And finally I would do this choice without problem but for now with a I have enough

All-tube amp (3x 12AX7 preamp and 2 x EL84 power), 15W. 2 channels. Reverb.

Pedal footswitch to activate the overdrive and reverb channel.
Input for external speaker as well as an effects loop.

EQ (Bass / Midle / trebble) and que'un additional knob Tone playing as a tone knob on a guitar

HP by Jensen sending!

Bright Switch which boosts the treble.

UTILIZATION

No manual, you quickly get a good sound thanks to the equalizer and a Bright switch for extra play on the treble.

Configuration very simple and fairly easy to access, it is a good full amp.

Perhaps the absence of stand-by we regret to start pre-heating lamps, but it is only a very slight detail just to watch and wait before attacking!

SOUNDS

Well suited for almost everything from classical to rather large hard rock rock to the course by blues-rock, the real area of ​​this amp in my opinion, maybe a little less for the metal (although ... ) but with a distortion pedal you get there! This is a rather typical vintage amp 'blues-rock' must still recognize it.

There are good sounds at all levels, be it cleans (although sometimes it crunch quickly before the halfway point of the volume on some clean guitar with powerful enough duplicates, but who can complain ??) to saturated that are really great for any rock / hard rock / blues rock!

Amp of great versatility once again.
Epiphone Les Paul played with a 96 as well as various other guitars (Cort G254, Southwestern Fender Strat, Ibanez ...)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for almost two years, and I am not at all disappointed with my purchase, it's a great little tube amp, perfect to get acquainted with all its lamps with 15W which still send the severely steak.
For a quality / price ratio outright, it's just a great amp!

ALL LAMP 15 WATTS 2 CHANNEL LIGHT AND OVERDRIVE. + reverb effects loop.

UTILIZATION

VERY OFTEN AS SET ULTRA SIMPLE, plug it up the sound is adjusted slightly so very simple, and it sounds ...

Ideal for playing at home and in AS group. As part of a group that plays hard, maybe if you can, connect to a good external speaker, which automatically disconnects the hp.

SOUNDS

Ultra versatile amp except the extreme (pedal provide the trash, but it is not the target of this amp, although it is possible, no doubt ...)
Clear sound to fall, which looks very much like the Fender Princeton Reverb reissue gorgeous (as I have elsewhere), a bit thinner in the notes that the princeton (which still costs three times). They also share the same hp Excellent 10 inch jensen alnico.
We play some really clear on that channel all styles (blues, jazz, rock, country, ballad, funk, ... reaggae short while, given the quality of the light.

For comparison, I have a mesa Boogie Mark IV, a Peavey Classic 50, a fender field xp, a Fender Princeton, and well made by Princeton, he sounds better in natural light through its dynamic and that all small world, where the tariff for some has no common measure ...
He really respects the sound of each guitar. It is rare that amp will sound each instrument (Les Paul, Strat, tele, sg, half box etc. ..) with the same quality and also respectful way.

Saturation is as beautiful, it allows the game to the volume on the guitar to spend a beautiful rich and full saturation of harmonic crystal clear sound, through the wonderful crunch, really terrible ...
When I look back on the Mark IV (in my studio), I'm pretty confused at the beginning as the sound of the mesa seems to me more natural and less inflated on the mids (great amp anyway ....). Well we get on the mesa saturations much thicker and typed seen the power, but the Laney is .... natural for my taste. Attention saturation level to its max will not gigantic. For the big gain, will boost some desirable (but not necessarily necessary ...)

With this amp, the guitar makes sound, it will follow you wherever you go. This is not always the case with other gear will require guitarist adapts to the amp, then this is the amp that adapts to scratch.

The reverb sounds great, really well thought out amp.
I have not yet tested the effects loop "by pass" which is adjustable on 2 bd position 0, + 10 db.

OVERALL OPINION

I have this amp for 1 month, suddenly, I am selling my MESA MARK IV ... and the small fender Champ xp .... true, especially since I do not need much power.
My revelation ... it allows me to sound like every guitarist I try to imitate just touched without torture with tons of settings.
Oh I forgot, it is really affordable price level. Top value for money good finish. I would not be surprised to learn that many pros use in the studio or on stage (with fallback to front).

No, I do not work at Laney, I did not even know these amps a month ago.
I tested it in a shop in Paris on the advice of a friend, I went direct with ...
Deserves to be tried.

With this amp, plug, play, and we are pleased to make it sound good guitars.

Yes, I would do this choice ...

Good zic all.

What kind of amplification (lamp, transistor, ...)?
All lamp ... very good sound, very dynamic ...
15w easy to use in her room .. a loop of effect

UTILIZATION

I use it at home, but also in concert with recovery and recurrence in front of a SM57 ...

SOUNDS

This is not a Marshall, but the sound is very British style rather Vox, but I'd rather Laney Very Blues, Rock Very ... but with some good pedals he can do anything ...

OVERALL OPINION

SUper small amp, which can do a lot of things ... very good dynamic ... We could believe that the cabinet 10 is too small but ok, the sound is there ... can be well on him .. Connect an external cabinet I recommend for those who want to play in their room, but also considering playing in a band ...
