Value For Money : Excellent
15 watt tube amp, 1w input available and it sounds very strong especially in the apartment ...

UTILIZATION

To find the sound of his favorite band is fast enough but to find the sound that suits us perfectly it gets more complicated because it is set by the EQ push-pull system.

SOUNDS

I play mostly Rock instrumental, sometimes a little Metal, I think this amp to a lack of distortion especially when coupled with passive pickups, when switching on the EMG it becomes a war machine, more need to activate the Pre-Boost sending it heavy.

CLEAN:

It's Laney is still good law (excellent for pedals) but never be too cold, there are some very pleasant heat in this little amp.


CRUNCH:

The 15w crunch channel it to 5-6 volume and it is rather very pretty


DISTO:

It is not about Super High Gain crazy but with my active pickups, it does not hurt claps.


This amp is really (pedal-friendly) I have a vox Satchurator (satriani) that goes wrong on many amp (personal opinion) and that becomes a beauty on Laney irt.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a little over two months, amp having a very good price / quality ratio, it allows to go from a clean sound to Metal Madness (active pickups) no problem, I appreciate
input 1 watt and even with 1 watt all-tube that already face a lot in the apartment!


I would do this choice because it is totally suitable for apartment, play low or high volume without any worries.
