Care of your

amplifier will prolong it's life.....and yours!. If you follow these guidelines your equipment will give you

years of playing pleasure

Laney

After unpacking your amplifier check that it is factory fitted with a three pin 'grounded' (or earthed) plug. Before plugging into
the power supply ensure you are connecting to a grounded earth outlet.

If you should wish to change the factory fitted plug yourself, ensure that the wiring convention applicable to the country where
the amplifier is to be used is strictly conformed to. As an example in the United Kingdom the cable colour code for
connections are as follows.

EARTH OR GROUND - GREEN/YELLOW

NEUTRAL - BLUE

LIVE - BROWN

220V

INTRODUCTION

BEFORE

SWITCHING ON

This manual has been written for easy access of information. The front and rear panels of each unit are graphically illustrated,
with each control and feature numbered. For a description of the function of each control feature, simply check the number
with the explanations adjacent to each panel.

Your

valve amplifier has undergone a thorough two stage, pre-delivery inspection, involving actual play testing, as well

as valve burn in. Valves are the most important component in your

valve amp. However they are also the most fragile

component. The glass envelope and valve filaments can easily be damaged in transit without any apparent signs of damage to
the box, amp or valves. Valve damage is however quite simple to diagnose and even more simple to remedy. These procedures
are explained later in this manual..

When you first recieve your

valve amp, follow these simple procedures:

(i) Ensure that the amplifier is set at the correct voltage for the country it is to be used in.

(ii) Ensure that the speaker is connected to the appropriate socket.

(iii) Connect your instrument with a high quality shielded instrument cable. Use of cheap cables will compromise the sound
of your instrument and your amplifier.
