Amp head Laney GH100S (100W, all lamps) ... it's hard! Mine is fitted with EL84 but you can mount it with 6L6, matter of taste. 4 power tubes, therefore, lamps + 4 preamp, classic head 100W! The unit is particularly strong.
No reverb (I prefer personal because less buzz and can be a pleasant change thanks to the excellent effects loop: reverbs, delays, echoes, modern, classical, anything goes).
The switch of "resonance" and the "bass" are very effective and can give or withdraw from the scale to the sound. For cons, the switch "bright" as often is useless because it makes the sound right away too shrill and unpleasant to the ear.
Many connectors on the rear (slave, outputs 4, 8, 16 ohms, mono, stereo ...).
UTILIZATION
Fairly simple to use because of reduced controls: just the minimum to maximum potential.
Question her, it's really a head ULTRA POWERFUL may not be suitable in all circumstances. No need to buy it to play in a room, it is intended for the stage!
SOUNDS
Perfect for guitarists rythmyques and very comfortable alternative styles (ska, grunge, fusion type Rage Against The Machine ...). However, it is less good for rock and blues for example ...
It never gets its quite clear, it is always a little crunch (typical at Laney) but it was a real personality and sound.
OVERALL OPINION
This head is a very good alternative to the JCM 900 and other MESA / BOOGIE because it has a real personality and is very reliable (I have not even had to change the lights since I have and it's a 1995 model !). In short, the sound made in England ... Ideal for the stage!
