UTILIZATION

The manual provided is useless for such a simple amp obdience "vintage". No hidden functions, effects section with moult parameter.
Everything is very simple, you plug, you play.
The choice is between a pat on the important insofar as it made a good Determines diffrent and a capacity to saturate sooner or later the Tage pr-based amplification mics of the instrument.
Similarly, the absence of "Master volume" can be crippling when it comes to adjusting the level gnral the fly without touching the balance of the channels clear / saturated . This is what makes me fall in note 8.

SOUNDS

L we can start talking srieusement!
I thought navement a amp of this caliber could not offer the versatility required by the directory of my group. No way!
First, the clear sound: FABULOUS is the term that is needed, but we can complter by CLEAR, stout, dynamic, fluid ....
It's simple, clear sound is so good that it alone justifies the purchase of the VC30. Ms. Fender laficionado of "great era" bow to the clear sound. It is indeed an exceptional basis to value a pedalboard too loaded. In my case: Delay TC NovaRepeater in the loop, Boss CS3 Compressor and Blackstar HT Dual in faade.
The clean channel of this amp combines a bit of rverbe (that of the amp is usable to the end of its travel without drowning the sound in the slurry) opens the doors of country, rockabilly, funk , ballads and jazz.Le guitar sound is guaranteed.
The canal begins by providing a saturated overdrive "crmeux" that works "fingers". It's sublime! The volume on the device then allows smooth transitions between light and saturated one is in the realm of blues and jazz! Those who enjoy working the strings will rgaler. As one increases the gain, one approaches the distortion associated with the world of boogie-rock or blues fawn nergique ACDC, zztop, status quo, and other emblmes of 70 '.
Gain background, many rock solos are possible.
WARNING! Under no circumstances is this amp to destiny Metall and followers of sounds from beyond the grave.
In my case, j'accde to heavy metal and modern rock through my pedals HTdual. And again, the combination of the two is fabulous.
Button bright and Tone gnrale allow many possibilities in the search for his killer. Everything about this amp is and subtle.
A real slap! The sound overall would fall somewhere between a Fender and a Vox right. As a concept not easy I admit ...
The VC 30 can essentially just go with 2-3 pedals to cover an extensive directory trs. All this keeping a real personality.

OVERALL OPINION

APRs have tried a Fender Hot Rod, a Peavey Classic 30, a Bogner Alchemist, a Blackstar HT40, my ears to this port my Laney VC30 112. The more silent Blackstar mtal East, the most complete silent Bogner (numriques effects) but with less personality and more cher.Le Peavey Fender offered the same low quality prs s but the saturated channel seemed more pleasant and less screaming.
For 545 euros new, no other product does this report. It is stunning.
The power is in the appointment. The look is sober but "class". To replace my Line6 Spidervalve (very versatile, but that the use complex) I just redcouvrir simplicity that "vintage" means. The Laney plays almost in the court of Vox. I would do this choice without a doubt!

30W all-tube amp, Class A. Warning very powerful.
4 x EL84 and 3 12AX7
"Channels: Clean and Crunch with volume control with + Volume Gain. Equalizer common Bass, Middle, Trebble, and reverb. Also a parallel effects loop with volume control for the determination of volume effects in the final sound of amp.
Personally, the parallel effects loop, I find it void and useless.
Behind HP and footswitch connection (Clean / crunch, reverb).

UTILIZATION

Rather simple configuration. It adjusts the EQ and playing.
It is a shame not to have a separate EQ for the two channels at once is often used only one channel.

SOUNDS

I play rock / blues a little funky / rhythm 'n'blue.
So I love the warm and also clean up the right to move to a super-bluesy overdrive.
To clean, this amp is very well ... I finally classify more as a good jazz amp, a point of view of the clean.
Also I play on strat gold I find much better with style Humbucker Les Paul. The amp responds much better with a Les Paul or ES335.

However, my biggest complaint is the presence with the 1x12. I never managed to break into the mix live or in repeat. So, to come out, one must climb the mediums. Moreover, I find the sound too slammed to my taste.

I changed the HP for a Celestion G12H30. It brought a lot of warmth to the sound. Saturations drooling over, as I like. But ultimately, I find the HP H / H original sound more suited to the amp.

This amp is for those who want clean sound of chattering, powerful. But not as good as a Fender hot rod for example.

OVERALL OPINION

This amp does not match my guitar playing.
I have great sound and home recording, but unfortunately, I find it too hard to settle for a good sound live and repeated.
This is probably the 1x12 configuration, which has no presence.
Connected 2x12 Celestion Vintage 30 is much better. And with double coils is much better too.

Tube amp, 30W, a CLEAN A DRIVE A BRIGHT, reverb and TONE. In short everything you need anything!

UTILIZATION

The setup is super simple, no need for manual, we get it right even with all its buttons to 12h.

SOUNDS

Okay so I found this amp just wonderful, a gem! in the channel with the button CLEAN BRIGHT we come to have a clean ultra clean, crystalline wish playing with the position of the microphones, the amp does not really crunch and the sound is great, really accurate with a nice dynamic, fully respecting the attack with a pick. Finger, rendering is also beautiful, the sound is round, warm and slamming a pure delight.
DRIVE channel now, it's all good personally love completely, 1 to 5 you get a sound cruchy with a pretty good natural sustain. It's simple, my clean channel is actually on the drive channel knob to 3.5. Thanks to it I can have a really nice sound barely crunchy, clean limit when I play, and what is good is that we attack the notes, the overdrive is more important, absolutely not garish, super natural and super nice to listen. From 5 up to 10 drive is the most important and you can resume all rock classics with, the sustain is super good (which is really important for me). If you are a fan of Paul Gilbert, you obtiendez with a good guitar (played with a ibanez RG prestige mounted DiMarzio PAF Pro and Air Norton) the same as him, and being a fan myself, I can only rave What!
I recommend however if you want to play in a register virtuoso (Gilbert, Vai, Satriani, etc..) Coupling to a distortion of course I played with a Satchurator (my god what pedal!) On the drive to 3 as previously said, I put the pedal to 7 / 10 in gain, tone and 5 3.5/10 in volume, and wow, I sound super nice, vintage, precise, with notes that last limit at infinity with MORE button engaged, in short a killing.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a week and I'm ultra mega conquered! I hesitated a lot between him and the Peavey Classic 30 to the base, but when I tested it, I was really surprised by Laney, by its claireté in the game and his respect for the dynamic pick, especially more than the sellers told me that the Classic 30 had much problem with the lights (they burn out quite often).
What I like most is the accurate notes that the amp offers (if you are not careful in your own sweeping it goes along!), There is nothing I dislike !
Value for money than good, I paid my own store for a little over 700 €, but you can find it on thomann in the 550 € ... So go ahead!

all-tube amp I never exceeds three
I live branch no effect in the entrance to always start type guitar channel "clear" my reverb does not work plus'ce who seems to be a recurring problem on this amp but I pass, rest is so good ...

UTILIZATION

Simplest configuration possible, the sound is huge ..... I am using the guitar volume .... I fell for the rhythmic sound I go for the chorus .. .. could not be more simple

SOUNDS

it suits me so much that any other amp seems insipid, I play with a "Squier" made in korea and an old "Ibanez" roadstar Handmade


OVERALL OPINION

Fifteen years, three sets of lights

all-tube amplifier, connector jack. 30 real watts.
spring reverb, bright button.
2 X is the model 12 that I own (purchased from DV247, the cheapest site for this amp, etc.).
I would have added a 4X10 cabinet with Fender homemade bowls that improves the projection, and the answer ds slamming down the spectrum.

UTILIZATION

Config simple, clear and simple manual, very good clean sound. overdrive a little less good when the amp was new.
Apara, the lamps are made from, or my ears got used.
Good for funk, blues, rock, even jazz, hard rock rather wise.
For metal, I put my blackstar here and does it well.
It supports very well all my pedals (clone TS 808 Whammy).
notes that I give are in relation to the price paid (500 € new)
very easy to adjust, very powerful even flag. His 30 W repeats than enough for even a lumberjack behind the drums.

SOUNDS

It is perfect (with the price of course) for all the styles I play, and I play almost everything.
The bright does almost sound like a good Fender clean sound on. I find the bright bcp less effective in overdrive. So, I'll have it changed by a mate in order to adjust the height of the bright foot and the switcher.
I play strats with vintage japan and U.S. deluxe, les paul studio and P90 DC (super overdrive the amplifier with the P90), Schecter, Epiphone Sheraton ...

The sound is clear even qd a level above the overdrive channel. excellent for casseroles, the wah funk, arpeggios, blues, and jazz

I put 9 for the overdrive channel

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for over a year. I have tried many models tube and transistor before buying (H & K transistors and lamps, typed too metal, too soft marshall-series models of today in any case, fender-bills are -too expensive, other laney, roland).

The +: sound very good and clear on which one can send all the pedals you want

The -: the overdrive channel, which is useless qd was good pedals, it is widely used even qd for a crunch, but not distal. Or for a gain level different from that of his pedals (that's what I used, the gain of the amplifier 9, my TS 808 to 12 and my DS to a jap 13H, here allows enormous range of sounds).
Compared to the price paid (500 €), excellent value for money.
I would do without this choice bp

6L6 lamp power and 12 AX7 preamp in
Input Jack Lo and Hi
Footswitch
loop send / return (who never worked well)

30W announced (but electric power is not a sound power ... this amp sending more than 30 W, we will say that the same relationship with a AC30).

UTILIZATION

Simple Config
I do not recall ever opening a manual ...

The clean sound is a model of its kind, much less aggressive than the Twin but with the bright little comes close ...

in EQ bass / midrange / treble very simple spring reverb that sounds ... like a spring reverb

The overdrive channel is very sweet and thoroughly with a double coil that sends the distortion is in the vein of Pete Townsend in the album Who's Next ...

SOUNDS

Is an amp that was designed to practice my music (very diverse as rock guitarist / blues, metal, experimental), but in a studio amp is the versatility formatting ...

The sounds are clear and are exemplary and the two input impedances truly offers a wide variety of colors ...
I only played with my strat vintage noiseless pickups mounted in a double SH4 and that sends the manure down, and full of pedals like a SansAmp GT2 distortion (to go further than the drive channel).

I very very rarely n'utiisais that the drive channel ...

OVERALL OPINION

Almost ten years of loyal service, I sold it a few weeks since my set has changed and my guitar sound as exploration (7 strings and desires of its most ... "Modern").

And it is still very "vintage" sound in the approach ... But most guitarists who are training hard and I realize, when they have a vintage amp typed the lead and do not want theirs almost never try another ...

But it is a very good amp that can be versatile if you take the trouble to properly rig the pyre pedal to put it behind ...

HP's small flat the original celestion who are now and at the time of HH ... I think they deserve the absolute investment in premium like Jensen or Celestion Blue or green or a mix seon the color you want ... and why not a HP ext closed which would add probably still safe.

Attention if I sold it for purely aesthetic shift and not be caught out of this amp which is still a very very good product ...

I would do without hesitation that choice ...

All-tube amp, 30 W, a drive, reverb, very easy to use. Too bad the tone sounds clear and crunch sounds are not differentiated.

UTILIZATION

Obtained very quickly a very good clean sound very British, perfect for funk and jazz. The drive is limited, do not bother to seek its metal. He typed her a very good rock blues.

SOUNDS

It's perfect, I use pedals for a more sturdy in full. Otherwise nothing to say, a very good amp for its price.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had three years and I intend to keep it. It is not very heavy for an all-tube and was in the trunk. I have already done several concerts, small and large rooms, outside, it sends the right thing and he has a sound that has nothing to envy to Vox much more expensive. Very good amp
