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
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 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 Laney 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 Laney 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) Connect your instrument with a high quality sheilded instrument cable. Use of cheap cables will compromise the sound of
your instrument and your amplifier.
If there is a problem with your Laney valve amplifier please contact the store where you purchased your amplifier and they will
help you resolve the problem.
Care of your Laney amplifier will prolong it's life.....and yours!. If you follow these guidelines your equipment will give you
years of playing pleasure
