This is the 1999 model and so far not one minute problem.
The amp is perfectly suited for our styles, we play G'n'R and Metallica For GNR I have the enhance on about 5.5 and for Metallica I turn to about 10!!
It has Three very different sounding channels. Shame no footswitch supplied but I got one. Effects loop and headphone jack is apparent.
I wish it has a solo volume because I am the Lead Guitarist. We've done a few gigs but with my Cabinet it seems about 200watt. I can definetly notice the vavle shame it's not in the clean channel

Sound Quality : 10
I have an Ibanez RG470 and a Epiphone SG Both With humbuckers...Perfect Sound Good bass, middle and treble range.
It easily suits my bands style. I have 0 noise because I have a noise reduction unit. But even without it you only notice noise at about volume 4. The vibe switch is a very nifty device perfect for solo's.
When I practise I can my amp to sound like Hendrix right through to Metallica. The clean channel does not distort even at volume 10 which is VERY LOUD!!! The distortion is really good and Punchy with a good projection........It's not muddy

Reliability : 9
At higher volumes the speaker does bounce but you expect that. I haven't tryed it at volume 10 Thank GOD. It has never Broken

Customer Support : No Opinion
Never done this?

Overall Rating : 10
I have been playing for 6 years but I have only had the amp for one.
If it were stolen I would claim off the Insurance and buy another one.
I love everything about the amp 65 watts not a problem with cabinets at the ready. I would compare this with the Marshall VS100R and VS65R and I'm afraid it sh*ts on both of them and it reeks.

This is a 1999 model, damn versatile. I play anything to everything but my favourite is Hendrix.
It has three channels, headphone, efx loop, line out, bright switch, Vibe switch, channel 3 has really cool enhance knob makes you really thrashy.
It is only 65w rms, I would like a bit more power. It struggles at gigs to cut through the drums and bass. Tube Preamp, fairly light , 12 inch HH speaker.

Sound Quality : 10
I use a squier strat with standard pickups.
drive 2 is great for coaxing EC type sounds in Bluesbreaker vintage, very quiet amp.
The sounds that come out of this, clean as a whistle, to dirtier than the local landfill. Really nasty distortion when you try. It has a clean to rival fender I think. Very smooth

Reliability : 7
I use it at gigs, but it lack power. It gets flattened all night and doesn't clip. but it is prone to shaking things loose

Customer Support : No Opinion
Never dealt with Laney

Overall Rating : 8
Brilliant. But underpowered. Sh*ts all over the Marshall VS 100, near the Fender roc-pro 700.
I would probably go for all valve and more power if it It was stolen.

This is a 3 channel British made amp with a 12 inch HH speaker. Its a tube pre-amp and is rated at 65 Watts. It has a clean, ctandard overdrive channel and the 3rd channel is overdrive with an 'Enhance' setting when turned up creates a scooped and very crunchy distortion. All channels are foot-switchable. There are 2 separate eq's and 2 separate reverb settings. It has a speaker output, headphone output and stereo effect loop. Extremely versatile for rock through to blues through to metal. Only problem is the chrome dials are very hard to read and the finish on the cloth speaker cover isnt excellent.

Sound Quality : 9
Semms excellent so far and Im yet to see everything its got. I use an Ibanez EX240 and on the 3rd channel I get excellent Metallica style distortion with the enhance and gain levels cranked. Very chunky. The standard overdrive channel can produce a great rock sound with a good sounding 'ALive by Pearl Jam' sound. With a bit more tweaking Im hoping to get a good blues sound which I havent quite mastered but Ive only owned the amp a week. I havent cranked it past half volume yet but I shouldnt need to cos that was bloody loud as it was. The clean channel(with a bright setting)seems to stay clean even when quite loud and there is hardly any hum or hiss on the overdriven channels. Any noise is probably due to my pick-ups any way. At the moment I love it.

Reliability : No Opinion
Im hoping its reliable but of course its hard to say. It seems to be built very well and they seem to have a very good reputation for being hardy amps.

Customer Support : No Opinion
3 year warranty with 90 days on tubes and 1 year on speaker.

Overall Rating : 9
Ive only been playing just over a year so Im not an expert but I know what I like and Im very happy so far with this amp. I compared it with a 100W Trace Elliot Super Tramp, Marshall 65W Valvestate and a Roland 60W GX408. This seemed to have the greatest range of sounds and 'ballsiest' distortion. A free foot-swith would be good but at $80 I can't complain. At the moment Im more than happy but if this changes Ill be sure to review this review. At this price and power rating I would definately replace it if lost or stolen.

British amp very versatile.I has three channels EXELENT disortion Real ECC-83 tube in the preamp.I have not tried it wery loud yet but i think it would be good for band use...

Sound Quality : 10
I have Jackson PS-4 and I think that the disortion is awesome for Megadeth,Metallica and Sepultura stuff. Very guiet . Clean = Clean Disortion is extremely versatile two disortion channels both have different kind of disortion and it has a disortion texture knob that makes "Huge Mid Scooped Chunk Chunk Tone" . I has two three band Eq's other for clean and disortion other only for disortion and stadium Vibe switch whitch gives a sound like u would be playing on the stadium.

Reliability : 9
I Think Laney's are wery reliable it seems to be very tough.The speaker isn't protected with metal grid

Customer Support : No Opinion
