BEFORE SWITCHING ON
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
NOTE
This manual has been written for easy access of information. The front and

numbered. For a description of the function of each control feature, simply
check the number with the explanations adjacent to each panel.
Your Laney amplifier has undergone a thorough two stage, pre-delivery
inspection, involving actual play testing.
When you first receive your Laney guitar amplifier, follow these simple
procedures:
(i) Ensure that the amplifier is the correct voltage for the country it is to be
used in.
ii) Connect your instrument with a high quality shielded instrument cable.
You have probably spent considerable money on your amplifier and guitar don’t use poor quality cable it won’t do your gear justice.
Please retain your original carton and packaging so in the unlikely event
that some time in the future your amplifier should require servicing you will
be able to return it to your dealer securely packed.
Care of your Laney amplifier will prolong it's life.....and yours!

Dear Player,
Thank you very much for purchasing your new Laney product and becoming part of the worldwide Laney family. Each and
every Laney unit is designed and built with the utmost attention to care and detail, so I trust yours will give you many years of
enjoyment.
Laney products have a heritage which stretches back to 1967 when I first began building valve amplifiers in my parent’s garage.
Since then we have moved on from strength to strength developing an extensive range of guitar, bass, public address and
keyboard amplification products along with a list of Laney endorsees that includes some of the world’s most famous and
respected musicians. At the same time we believe we have not lost sight of the reason Laney was founded in the first place - a

dedication to building great sounding amplification for working musicians.
