1987 amp , 4 E34LS TUBES AND 4 12AX7 PREAMP TUBES. LARGE TRANSFORMERS, GREAT EFFECTS LOOP. HAS PUSH/PULL POTS. PRE AMP PULLED OUT GIVES THAT THICK SOAKED EFFECT AT A LOWER VOLUME. PUSHED IN WILL TEAR YOUR HEAD OFF. NO WIMPY, SPECIAL CHANNEL SWITCHING OR REVERB HERE. SIMPLE BUT SWEET. THIS AMP CAN CLEAN UP VERY WELL MUCH LIKE A FENDER. THE TUBE ARE GROOVE WITH A HARDNESS # OF 5. THIS KEEPS THE AMP VERSITAL FOR ME.

GIBSONS, USA JACKSONS, AND USA FENDERS WITH SEYMOUR DUNCAN JB AND JAZZ PICKUPS . PLAY BLUES AND HARD ROCK. THE AMP HAS GUTS AND IS AS LOUD AS ANY 100 WATT MARSHALL. A REAL EARTHQUAKE.

OWNED SINCE 1992 WITH NO PROBLEMS AT ALL.

NEVER ANY NEED.

STARTED PLAYING IN 1988. i RUN THIS AMP THROUGH A 1976 MARSHALL JMP 4X12 CAB WITH V 30S. A CRYBABY WHA WHA, LEXICON MPX1. THERE IS NOTHING TO HATE . HAVE YET TO PLAY AN AMP I LIKE BETTER. I HAVE TRIED THEM ALL. THE NEW LANEY AMPS ARE NOT THE SAME. THE BOOGIE AND SUNN AMPS ARE OK. WISH I HAD ANOTHER AMP LIKE IT

made in 1985, well mine was anyway. this amp is very good for it's price. a good effects loop means that i can use it with a rack setup with no problems. the amp has 2 chanels and althought there is not too much of a dramatic change, you can go from great blues to sparkling clean, or similar quite well. i do not use this much though.
the amp easily handles the workload, with no problems there. in fact at an audition recently i had someone ask if they could use my amp instead of their marshal on stage... well i am very happy with it.

very clean if you want it to be, i find that the distortion isn't all that heavy, but is great for "rock" or 80's music. as for suitabillity, i give it a 10, it fits in from light funk to metal, with no problems. but i prefer to use an external distortion pedal (a ZOOM Driver 5000), as it can be more versitile

the amp has broken down a few times, but i got it second hand with a whole load of different valves and accessories installed. i think the band to have it before me neglected it a bit, so i am not to happy with the reliabillity of it. i always carry a back up now.

never dealt with laaney, as the nearest authorised service centre is too far away, and i got the thing second hand

beeen playing for 6 years, use this amp in 3 bands as the main one, with a shitty little solid state combo as a backup. i use an Ibanez RoadstarII with a DiMazio norton installed and run through an Alessis Quadraverb GT- controlled by a Roland FC200, i also use a ZOOM Driver 5000 distortion. basically this amp rocks! if it died perminantly, i would buy another, just to keep that fantastic sound. a drawback i have is the fact that i bought it second hand and it wasn't in the best condition.

i beilieve this amp was made in the 80's. i play rock with a punk infulence ala d.c. style sound, for what i do this amp will suffice, i don't need many effects nor do i like them. all i need is good distortion and powerful tone controls, which this amp definitely has. i've found that the channel switching isn't too good. i haven't been able to go from a nice clean sound to a ballsy distortion, it's always one or the other or somewhere in between. oh yeah, it has an effects loop built in, which i know many people need, and it has bass, mids, and treble boosts which really make a difference

i just bought this amp as a backup for my boogie. its no boogie, but for the price i paid its a good sounding tube amp. i play balls to the walls rock and this amp can get down and dirty. when the preamp is turned way up it gets a loud hum, not quiet like my boogie. if you take the time, you can fool around with the tone controls and the preamp controls and get a variety of very nice sounds. i use a gibson sg and the humbuckers help create a full rich sound. full on distortion on this amp is deadly, the clean sounds good and punchy. if you like the marshall jcm 800 sound, i think with a little bit of tinkering you can get a sound that you like.

to be honest i haven't had this amp very long and i only plan to use it once in a while. for some practices and god forbid if my boogie breaks down. i bought it with brand spanking new tubes, preamp and power, so i'm hoping it won't need much else. i've heard that these amps take a knocking and keep on rocking.

i have no idea

i've been playing guitar for some years now and i've owned ampeg ss amps, marshall 800's, crates, and a mesa boogie. better tone than the ampeg, more balls than my particular 800 (but all 800's seem to be different), but the boogie kicks it's ass sound wise. of course the price difference is substantial. i wish it had more dramatic channel switching capabilities. overall, it's a good sounding tube amp, and at the price i wouldn't cry if it got stolen, but i would buy another.

many features...eq balance and so forth.

super heavy gain, death distortion, not so much as a crunch. overdrive sounds a bit more like a pedal. still, this amp can clean up with the best of em. seriously, the sounds are very versatile. pretty good sustain.

you can do whatever you want to this amp. i defy anyone that has one to say it is not reliable. i have had a little bit of trouble running the amp w/o the effects loop, but other than that, this amp is now about 12 years old, i have never changed the tubes, and it still plays without a hitch.

n/a

if you can find one of these aor heads, get it! any stooge that lets one of these things slip is a fool

This amp has two channels. One clean, one overdrive. You can buy a footswitch for it. It has the expected controls... presence, bass, middle, treble, overdrive. The thing I like the most is that you can pull the knobs out for a 'boost' and when you do this to the bass knob you better pray your house is structurally sound. Can accomodate all styles of music as it can go from sterilized clean to heavy distorted death metal. It is an all tube amp.

This amp sounds very nice, especially for its price range. My friend has the Marshall JCM900 and there is no real sound difference. Actually there is... mine can distort the same as his and heavyer also. This amp hardly feedbacks on my guitar and I have no complaints really. It doesn't sound like a Hughes and Kettner Tri Amp but than again this amp is not a $1500 one. For $450 it is a steal!

This amp is built like a tank. Have used it for vocals, guitar, have not had to replace the tubes. Have played it with little ventilation (i.e. had things over the covers) and it has never broken down.

Never really had to deal with Laney.

This amp is a great value for $450. It sounds great and is reliable. Try one out if you get the chance. That sums it up.

This amp is pretty simple in itself.. one channel.. with push/pull pots one of the gains, (there's two), and on the treble, bass, and mid.

I would use the built in distortion except for the fact that it's way too noisy and to get the distortion that I like, if I turn off the "distortion", I still get mild distortion, and I do need a clean channel sometimes... but in use with my pedals, it has a decent sound... actually, a very good sound considering the price.

This amp is a rock.. I've always got something on top of it while I'm playing, and that usually covers the ventilation grills, but the amp just keeps going.. and going.. I've had it about a year, and I haven't had so much as a to replace the tubes, as of yet, a very reliable amp.. and I've never thought of bringing a backup, 'cause there's never been a time where I turned it on, and it didn't work.

Couldn't tell ya, bought it used, and never had to deal with 'em.

For the price, I'd buy it again, but I think that I'm going to keep it around for that "just in case" amp. But if you're in the market for a cheap all-tube head, I definately recommend this one.
