UTILIZATION
The amp is relatively simple to use, it has 3 channels (Clean, Rhythm and Lead) and a boost (like a treble booster) whose rate is adjustable. The system push-pull pots Equalizer deserves some attention a bit to get the sound you want. The instructions are clear but there are few cons explanation of the use ASIO with a sequencer (such as having to install the ASIO4ALL driver).
Laney provided a switch with 4 buttons to change channels, switch the boost or reverb. on the other hand I find it unfortunate that we can not channel switcher with a MIDI pedal.
SOUNDS
The sounds are excellent, whether live recording (with speaker simulation plugin or with the internal simulation) or connected to a speaker. You can get a variety of sounds, with beautiful clean, the crunch friendly and saturations ranging from 80's hard rock to modern metal. The amp sounds british but without being too aggressive with the setting of "TONE". Even at low volume gets pretty saturation by measuring a kind of natural compression with the "Dynamic" button.
OVERALL OPINION
I have this amp for only a week and I find it really great as it sounds at the features it offers. I expect to use it a little more by repeating to see how the amp is doing live and update my opinion.
You can take a ride on the forum of the amp, I've posted some samples.
