Laney LA10 User Manual

WELCOME

INTRODUCTION

The LA10 offers great acoustic tones from a compact and portable amplifier.

The 10-Watt LA10 is capable of producing some bold, natural uncoloured acoustic guitar tones.
Housing a big sounding 5” driver and 2 band EQ the LA10 produces a acoustically pure tone capable of
reproducing the natural timbre of your instrument. Engaging the on board SHAPE switch allows you to

kick in a little extra high mid boost when a brighter more
extended top end is called for.

Plugging in some headphones means you can play
whenever you like, whatever time of the day or night and
if you connect an external device to the AUX IN socket
you can jam along with your favourite players!

Finished in a range of natural browns and creams, the
LA10 is a great addition to the LA range.

All the features & controls are covered over the next few
pages, please take the time to read this manual fully as it
will allow you to get the very best from your amplifier,
read on, play and enjoy…

FRONT PANEL CONTROLS

Input: This socket should be used for connecting your instrument to the amplifier. Only use a good
quality screened cable.

Volume: Sets the overall listening level of the amplifier.

Shape: Engages an EQ circuit to give a brighter more extended top end.

EQ Controls: Traditional Bass & Treble passive tone controls. Passive controls have the advantage of

always sounding musical at any of their settings, due to their unique interactive nature. This gives the player
a more natural set of tools to shape their ideal sound. Set these midway at (0) as a good starting point.

Aux In: A 3.5mm Stereo line input for connection of a CD or MP3 player as a backing track. Control the
level of the input using the volume control on your CD/MP3 player.

Phones: 3.5mm stereo jack socket for connecting headphones and when connected, the internal
loudspeaker is automatically switched off.

Power LED: This will illuminate when the power switch is operated, indicating the presence of mains
power within the amplifier.

Power Switch: Mains power switch for the unit.
