UTILIZATION

The sound of this amp is a fabulous ... I possde Engl 50 watts, and in my flat and carry around in rpt ch *** is a little t. .. so I d cid for Laney, first with the j'hsitais lc15r, but I had the 15 vc for 377 euros from Musik Prouktiv, so does the choice quickly.

SOUNDS

This amp covers all styles, at least mine (blues, jazz, funk, rock, fusion, reggae ...) it may be a bit tight for the mtal (without extra hp because the gain sufficient background for the heavy) because of the hp 10''. Important thing I connect a 4x12 and a vamp ... it is simply monstrous.

The sound is clear as it should (a rgal with p90), not too crystalline, not too dull. Crunches are just beautiful, and probably the highlight of the amplifier in terms of sound. The distos are more rock my faith trs friendly with my tube screamer I cover a very wide ventail its ...

OVERALL OPINION

9 / 10 because nothing is perfect, but it frankly ptite a bomb in an apartment ... IDAL, rpt take in, and if it plugs into a 2X12 or 4X12 is part the Stade de France ... no drummer did rsistera! an exellent acquisition tt I advise the world, the report qualitprix is ​​exellent, the finishes are impeccable, the solids in the time may be his only weakness, because the coating of the amp Air fragile. I would do without this choice hsiter!

15w all-tube, a clear two-channel two inputs a drive a high gain low gain one, and a good old spring reverb that sounds not so bad

one more: an insert effects loop (send / return), excellent for a delay or rverbe to sound less than boiling output distortion

a minimum: no standby, at least not on mine, I'd be curious to know how long the lights will live

the volume is perfect for me playing in my Burau and transplanted the sound of the HP with a microphone

UTILIZATION

The config even if there is little knobs offers significant versatility. The button 'tone' particularly strong change in the color of his post equalization: the beginners I thought had only changed the sound of the nay rverbe but a difference. The equalo trs is effective and has a real personality and slobbery fat.

SOUNDS

Edict of 11/08/08: I do not understand why all these good people tell and retell that you can not do metal with this amp, especially since apparently none of them made of metal. Good: ME I do, and I guarantee that if you not in the n'officiez numetal or death trs technique that required every two trsdfinis sounds, this amp is perfect for metal, black, doom, drone, the sludge, the stoner, etc.. The trick is to make him the right of distortion pedals before: I tried with bigmuff, a ProCo Rat, a metal zone, a DOD death metal, a boss bass overdrive, boss and a XTorsion sounds terrible ...

The sound ... I read below that it is not suitable for mtal? Saturated channel alone is true does not make much profit, by a distortion in front against a hard schement and you can get a hyper-saturated low volume by connecting the pedals on Channel drive-I have even need to lower the gain a bit that has got too pure. My record of doom / drone trs trs serious and slow, this amp works wonders.

Something trs INTERESTED in this amp is that HP is a 10-inch (and not 8 as a harley benton GA5, a valve junior or 6 as a fender champ600), so a cash and restores really serious trs saturations, and its clear to me that plays much agreement in drop-D comes out really well. My skull string trio / Gretsch Humbuckers / big muff sounds hyper-heavy with a volume that does not kill all the house: exactly what I was looking for.

on the other hand, in fact if you want the dry trsdfini trs the nu-metal I think this amp is not for you. Remember that it's a blues amp destiny behind.

OVERALL OPINION

Edit of 04/01/2010: APRS have had this amp for two years, I regret t have to sell it, because it is really too powerful to be taken of its volume optimal flat - before the silent studio in my office in a house ... TRS is by far the best amp I've tested in this price range, especially since it is found nine under 350 euros grandbretons our friends. If you have one, keep the rating of opportunity right now is not worth the resell - except equitable exchange as I had the chance to make a <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_lol.gif" alt="" /> . If you hsitez, you could buy one before they stop making this amp and become legendary.

Edict of 11/08/08: I have the amp for several months and I can not change it for anything. I'm going against him by adjoiindre a 15-inch cabinet that I find a ds ....

I reu yesterday and jou have a good time today, so I will modify this view in proablement qq months.

on the other hand before buying one of the occasion (thank you enguy) I tried all models while low wattage lamps: the Fender Champion 600 (which I think has not the same helpful I'll buy one also ending for) the Ibanez (too sharp, too small HP), the Peavey ValveKing (ditto), the junior GA5/valve (ditto), the Laney LC-15 (a much more " rock "and less well finished) etc.. and the Orange Tiny Terror.

Let's say the laney is trs above the competition in terms of versatility and quality of sound (it is also well finished trs), but frankly it is more expensive. The only comparison that supports and allows to collect the sound of a metalzone without flinching, and many return it is the orange but it is much more expensive.

The report qualitprix does not mean much in the sense that if you want an all-tube dual channel with an HP acceptable and a good finish is the only amp in this price range (about nine euros 470, 300 350 used). Basically: it's expensive watt, but worth every penny.

I will tell you in a few months if I would do but since this choice has been four months that I break the legs of all merchants amp that I find a m'tonnerait I change my mind

Bought on a website abroad less than € 300 new.
The VC15-110 is an amplifier of 15 watts all-tube (2x EL84 power) equipped with a speaker 10 "and two channels and a reverb.
High and low level inputs, effects loop, footswitch input (not supplied) and firm expansion in 8 or 16 ohms.

No headphone jack or output attenuator.

EQ (low, medium and treble), reverb, tone and touch Bright common to both channels.
Just a volume on the clean channel.
A drive and volume on the channel crunch.

UTILIZATION

Amp easy to configure.
The quality of sound is quickly found the settings effective as it is not complex.
Manuel simple and clear.
The clean channel crunch high noise level, the channel is saturated with the crunch (or just plain dirty) at the right hardrock.
The settings are effective.

SOUNDS

I play for my home and it's a tube amp of good quality which is used in these conditions. I've never tried with other musicians but by pushing (light or full) means that it will easily rank within a group.
I played on a highway and a tele strat assembled with parts from home STEWMAC.
On TV: The original pickups. Start the Seymour duncan ssl5 in neck and middle and a custom custom SH11 in easel. In any case here does! The receiver complies with the sounds of the guitar.
The clean channel is good but you will not still the best Fender clean sound.
The saturated and versatile.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for six months and I am very satisfied. My research was, sound lighting, versatility (clear, good crunch, saturated), usable and as good at low power (in a room of 12m ² is a 15w max), not too expensive. Quite the VC15.
It only lacks the headphone jack.
I tried all the small 5W tube market (ibanez, fender ...) that still do not have the same sound quality and versatility. The Blues Junior has not convinced me ...
The VC15 is really an excellent quality / price ratio, especially less than 300 €.

If I had to change it would be for a bigger amp therefore more expensive and therefore more powerful. Suffice to say that I have the VC15 for long.

See below

UTILIZATION

Configuration is very simple, clean channel, Canal Drive

If we look for clean jazz sound or a distortion though its hard to play down the foot!

SOUNDS

This amp has a very vintage, it is oriented Blues / Rock / Hard, but the clean is Excellent

I use it with an Ibanez PGM301

In terms of sound this amp suits me perfectly, and I think will suit all those who play at home!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for one month, I really like its versatility and the price of 15 watts and it is difficult to get any better lights!

Laney anyway is a great brand, it's cheap, it's tough, it's ROCK!

The ratio Q / P is very good, € 450 for a versatile all-tube is quite rare ..

With the experience I would spend probably a VC-30 for more power if I play by repeating so yes I would do this choice!

T says it all, manufacturing trs pro and opulent.

UTILIZATION

Simple and effective, with real assets
- The weight
- A Tone gnrale in addition to qualisation
- A subtle rverbe
- An effects loop parallle
- HP output sup

SOUNDS

I totally agree with the opinion of "plus2guitare", this amp is a rgal. I use it for 6 months and I'm from everywhere, home, and every occasion in RPET or beef is looming. an organic sound and flexible just wish the guitar volume and articulation on the guitar, the effects become redundant .... I love it is a true companion that showcases all of my guitars. One BMOL, 15W its clear it's just great training, but in this case are transplanted by the sound and the turn is played and then they do not kill your back when the gear range.

OVERALL OPINION

The tool IDAL boeufeur of jazz, blues, rock ... Low weight and maximum sound quality leaves a blues junior and other derrire 15W.
In 25 years of guitar amp I have tried many in this CATEGORY, it is essential for me.

15W lamps for those who do practice the transistors it is not very meaningful and yet it sends very strong! Settings can not be simpler and allow a grip ultra rapide.La connector is in the same vein of "plug and play".

UTILIZATION

The manual approaches the totally unnecessary as the use is simple and its intuitive.Le is there any type of guitar.

SOUNDS

It is perfect for my style of music (blues, rock 70's). The sound is clear soup has a desire, the drive channel offers great crunch tones that leave tranparaître expressiveness of the type of attack médiator.Ce amp m 'has to rediscover the importance of the volume knob on my guitar I play mostly on the drive channel and I manage the sound only to the potentiometer (so we can pass the "almost" clear saturated through the crunch). My guitar is a Lag Roxane RS500 equipped with a SH1 and SH4, both splittables.Associée to this amp it gives me an incredible range of sounds and more than enough for my modest level.

OVERALL OPINION

I play (poorly) for almost 23 years so I had the opportunity to try lots of amps. Laney This is a real revelation for me.
Update 2010: I changed my guitar for a G & L Tribute S500 (Strat-type, normal "L" is for Leo Fender), and again the vc15 gets away with the honors!! !

see below
Very good full cete price range

UTILIZATION

bine clear sound with vintage acute slamming good.
The overdrive channel goes from slight crunch to sound very fat, with a slight fuzz (it's not an overdrive to heavy metal riff, but like "Back in Black"

SOUNDS

rock, ska, reggea
Fender FMT TV (made in Korea of ​​good quality)
A great amp for playing at home or with a drummer who bangs too
In addition it is very light and easily transportable
I have white, it is superb!
bowled really happy with my purchase ... + + +

OVERALL OPINION

bought in the UK, excellent value for money (especially with the pound sterling at today)
6 months
I made my choice in trusting the advice and forum, and I do not regret it!

I go back over everything The characteristics t said.
Just note the Tone Gnrale that I find useful enough to remove a bit of chattering easily by what we play.

UTILIZATION

Configuration very simple, I even not look so there was a manual ...
rang at once very well.

SOUNDS

After having read that positive opinion on this amp and blues junior who has a `I say at the outset: Choose this amp (the laney). As much as I find the blues junior super loud, unnecessary rglages (low, middle, treble), reverb too strong ... so with the laney c just the opposite.
It's crazy that this little amp can sound good, c crmeux velvety, perfect with a Start, I think. I plug a Les Paul Custom and the fact very well too.
on the other hand (and like the blues junior) I think that DS is the distortion was too much and drooling c less well, so I am considering replacing hp Plutt to see same place a 2 12, some opinions say that c is even better.
In his clear and crunch, with the brilliance switch c Inrush really beautiful, ask why put more money into an amp ...

OVERALL OPINION

it's been two months since I have the amp and I am really very happy. I think j'achterai a cabinet one day and it will be the top.
I bought white because I found it really beautiful as a, c, well finished, Algeria and has sounds of thunder. I have not tried bcp APRS amp, but for 400 euros I think you really have to find better double the purchase price.

nothing to add except that it is quite difficult to find (new or used) with footswitch which makes it even more vital!
but it is bought on Thoman ptite for ten dollars! ..

UTILIZATION

config-we-can-not be easier!
This amp offers numerous possibilities in terms of its


SOUNDS

the clean nickel! on this channel by pushing the gain almost Tacquet (and that's what I think that should be done with this amp) the sound excellently crunch
Overdrive channel with the crunch is good for small gain, but when it comes to more than 5 the saturation becomes quite messy and cons unless such a fan of his (almost stoner rock'nrol) that is one of the only strong point of this amp!

OVERALL OPINION

I bought on a whim (within 2 hours!) recently but I am conscious of having been there My Amp! his strong point: its tiny weight despite its ultra-power that makes it a favorite animal pop-blues guitarist for rock Supertransport
it covers without a battery by repeated difficulties for the little that elevates a little
ideal for concert-club bar!
short I would do without this choice problem and anyway today Laney is a mark where I go almost closed eyes ..

see previous description

UTILIZATION

configuration is excellent, a full connectivity and the clean sound is very good and the overdrive channel is really nice. The manual was quickly replaced by my ears.
Knob The reverb is shy and you have to go far in the race for the effect significantly.

SOUNDS

For a pop rock record, I do not change it for anything. It does the job! I play with a bunch of skyscrapers, the LP studio in the Telecaster and a real treat

OVERALL OPINION

I put a lot of time finding an amp that I can carry around.

If they would leave one with a 12-hp, I'll line up to buy one right out. A wonderful amp to a most excellent value for money

new range VC, restyled in 2008 at the onset of the range of laney lionheart.
2 * EL84 tad amp (15w) class AB or B
3 * ECC83 preamp selected tad (not "high grade" in V1 position contrary to what is mentioned in the data sheet of the amp.
the control panel is the same as the original version with its 2 channels, only the design of the amp to change the reverb and no longer has jurisdiction, but digital, without being too bad. (equivalent to spring reverb of the first generation without the stress of false contact related to transportation.

UTILIZATION

identical to the first generation except perhaps that by replacing the position ECC83 ECC83 V1 by a "high grade" the clean does dénatureré least at high volume.
IDEM except

SOUNDS

effects loop improved
3 positions: Bypass; neutral or +10 db
fidelity to play the guitar exelente, the HP jensen 10 "hangs low frequency until 6 / 7 by volume clean without too much beyond the amp boffer.au naturelement.l crunch 'interest not to push the amp back so all is well.
VC30 had a prior vc15.Le hp ten inch send much better low frequency as the 12 "celestion seventy 80, VC30.
Naturally less safe than a 12 "or less wide spectrum of sound.

OVERALL OPINION

This amp is still a standard recommended despite its small imperfect finish, I am talking aesthetics (eg the logo of mine is not right volume knob not positioned in position 0 ..) it's only short range détaille.la Made in England is always sold at a price made in china.on almost forgive the manufacturer so the little details and finishing does not have relocated the range in its Asian factory as many have done well to have preserved some jobs in Europe.
this is not an amp is a Laney! what else!

Amplification Tube
15 watts
.....

UTILIZATION

Using very simple, turn the knobs and the sound changes .... it's magic!
The manual is useless.
Readily obtained a good sound only if one has a good guitar!

SOUNDS

The clean sounds are very pure, that is why I bought it.
I use a telecaster with clean sounds are beautiful with great purity in the sound.
With the FA I type in the blues with some nice crunch to overdrive type 70's rock.
For distos nastiest, add a pedal because ampmli does not saturate much.
I'm using a blackstar htdist, a distal tube. The cash amp pretty well the powerful distortion to go from one register to hard rock extreme metal!
For me the important thing is the beauty of a clear channel, then we can find a good distortion.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this amp for 2 years before I had a transistor amp, so I pout it was a revelation.
What I like most is that it respects the characteristics of the guitar (pickups simple humbuckers, active ...)
At that price and made in England, it sure is serious.
