It is basic and cheap

UTILIZATION

Simple configuration! Intuitive! I bought this head and found my sound in 20 minutes, and when I have needed to change my settings ...

SOUNDS

I play a lot of things with this head, the blues with a Fender U.S. Start, rock, metal with my PRS us rather prog metal, heavy hardrock has deep or Motley Crue. It sounds very guitar hero with some effects and a vigier exca: p

The clean is fenderien, not sublime, but a good clean!
The boost 1 (a crunch) is voxien vintage at heart I used to rock the british
The crunch (crunch 2) is a kind of channel JCM800 saturated with the sound british
The boost 2 (lead) is very powerful, a saturation level that allows to play in a really great metal record! Start with my AC goes no further than the heavy, but with the PRS I could afford to play in the delirium Korn / Limp Bizkit / ... (I take groups known easier to compare!)

OVERALL OPINION

The versatility of this amp is really something that pushed me to play Laney ...
I tried really amp before stopping on this one ...
JCM900/2000, 5150 (could compete, but beautiful clean crunch unusable), ENGL Blackmore / Screamer / Powerball (could compete but horrible crunch), Mesa Rectifier's (too cold, clean, crunch average price (disturbing), etc. .. . ... etc.

The price / quality ratio is very good at his point of view of the amp ... The build quality is not crazy after .. We know that Laney has established a specification calling for a low cost construction;) But it's the same with Marshall or Peaveay ...

It is clear that the choice I would do with a budget of € 1500, starting from € 2500 I would go over to the amps that I would rather look at Badcat remains nonetheless a step up (but price multiplied by at least 2!)
