ability to drive the output stage at higher Drive Volume settings. Setting a high level on the Drive control and a low setting on
the Drive Volume will give you a punchy hard rock lead tone, with the ability to again drive the output tubes at higher Drive
volume settings. Having set the Drive and Drive Volume controls to your desired sound try backing off your guitar volume and
tone controls for lots of other cool sounds. Good tube amplifiers have the unique ability to produce a wide range of sounds by
using only your guitar controls, playing weight and style.
Sets how loud the 'Drive' channel is
-
This led will illuminate when the Drive channel is activated with the Drive switch (8) or the includedl Laney FS2
remote footswitch.
Switch up to enable the 'Drive' channel. (This switch must be in the engaged position in order for the
drive to be switched remotely via a foot switch.)
BASS, MIDDLE, TREBLE:
These are a traditional set of passive tone controls. Passive controls have the advantage of
always sounding musical at any of their settings mainly due to their unique interactive nature. This gives players a more natural
set of tools to create their ideal sound. (Try them all set at midway (5) as a good starting point)
REVERB:
Controls how loud the built in reverb sounds. The reverb in the L5T-112 is a legendary Sound Enhancements aka
‘Accutronics reverb’ - the only choice for that authentic reverb sound .
The tone control works in a similar fashion to the Tone control you probably have on your guitar except that it
uniquely works at the other end of the amplification chain. This has the ability to not only control the overall top end response
but also reduce upper end harmonics on the output stage and preamplifier overdrive sounds. This will give you bright cutting
sounds at high settings and smooth rounded sounds at lower settings. (Midway (5) is a good starting point)
(Always switch off and disconnect the power cord when not in use)
STANDBY SWITCH:
Disconnects the main HT voltage from the tubes but keeps the tubes warm so that they are ready to
go instantly. Switch to standby for short breaks when you don’t want to wait for the tubes to warm up again.
DRIVE VOL:
. It is useful to experiment with drive levels and drive volumes. If you want
a very open, warm and semi overdriven sound try reducing the amount of drive and increasing the drive volume. This reduces
pre amp gain but pushes the power amp section and makes it work harder giving you a very desirable level of power amp
distortion which is a very pleasing “retro” style sound.
