Care of your 

Laney

 amplifier will prolong it's life.....and yours!. 

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

Congratulations on your decision to purchase a 

Laney

 amplifier.

Laney

 products are designed with ease of operation as a primary objective, however to ensure you derive the best from 

your new amplifier, it is important you take time to read this user manual and to familiarise yourself with the control 
functions and facilities available

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 

Laney

 

B

 series bass amplifier has undergone a thorough two stage, pre-delivery inspection, involving actual play 

testing, as well as tube burn in.  Tubes  are one of  the most important components in your 

Laney

 

B

 

series bass amp.  

However they are also the most fragile component.  The glass envelope and tubes filaments can easily be damaged in 
transit without any apparent signs of damage to the box, amp or tubes .  

When you first receive your 

Laney

 

B

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