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 rear panels 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 amplifier has undergone a thorough two stage, predelivery 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!

WELCOME

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.

Warm Regards,

Lyndon Laney CEO

OVERVIEW

PRISM - ONE BECOMES MANY

The Prism Series is a state of the art DSP based design enabling a wide range of different sounds to be created from your guitar.

Each amplifier features two modes : -

The first is HERO MODE which features eleven factory presets which are not simply guitar amp settings but combinations of amp and effects set ups used to record some of music's most inspirational guitar tones. HERO mode shows off some of the amplifiers capabilities without the need to spend time making adjustments.

The second is LIVE MODE a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) interface that allows you to do most of your sound editing. In this mode your controls function as a conventional amplifier. There are also FOUR CHANNELS for storing your favourite composed sounds for recall at any time either with

the front panel buttons or via an optional footswitch.

Eleven high quality carefully designed editable FX combinations are provided to enhance your sound. Great care has been taken using skilled guitarists to make the amplifier deliver great sounds on all user settings.

A tuner function with auto mute (for silent operation) is also available on the front panel switches.

Hero Mode

Here you will find eleven pre-set sounds we have chosen. These can not be overwritten but can be temporarily edited and then stored into the channels if required. (See Hero preset list.Page 23)

Live Mode

In this mode all the controls operate exactly as indicated on the fascia panel. When you find the sound you like it can be stored to a channel as required.

Channel Mode

Each channel button is factory programmed with a “Cool Sound”. These settings can be kept as is, or edited to suit your own sound, or replaced entirely with a new sound of your own design.(Keep a note of your settings, because if a “Factory Reset” is used any edits carried out here will be reset to factory settings). When you have created a sound in the LIVE mode or any sound the amplifier is producing at the time, you can store it to a Channel simply by pressing and holding down the desired Channel button for two seconds. (The store and Channel button light will flash to indicate the store has taken place) If you decide the sound is still not quite right you can re-edit it in the Channel and then press and hold the Channel button again to overwrite.

Effects

There are eleven carefully chosen built in studio quality combinations of effects available. These can be used as factory set or can be extensively edited as desired, temporarily, or stored for future use.

All settings are retained after power down so none of your new sounds are ever lost.

STORING & EDITING BUILT IN SOUNDS

Channel Storing:

In LIVE, HERO or CHANNEL mode you can make use of the store function.

In HERO mode if you edit the sounds you can not overwrite the HERO setting. However you can store your edited version to one of the four channels. Simply make the changes you want to any of the amplifier controls or Effects to get your desired sound. Then simply

press and hold the desired channel button until the store light flashes.

Now whenever you select the channel again it will have your new sound ready to use. (Even after power down). You then have other options if you go to the channel again and decide the sound you chose is not quite right just make the adjustments and then press and hold the channel button again to overwrite to the new sound. If you don't want to overwrite this channel and you want the new sound in another channel simply press and hold the new channel button to store. (The original will remain in the first channel)

Changing the built in effects:

In LIVE mode you can adjust the edit functions in any of the effects and overwrite the factory settings. So if you want your standard delay to be 300mS instead of the 423mS factory setting, simply make the adjustment, then press and hold the LIVE channel button until the store light flashes.

The new setting will be your default whenever you select that EFFECT. (See Edit chart for options. Page 25)

Footswitches:

The rear panel has jack connectors for a footswitch and phones/record out. To the footswitch jack (Channel Scroll and Select functions) any latching or non latching twin footswitch with stereo jack may be used. (Laney FS2 recommended) Use the Scroll switch to step and preselect through the four channels in sequence. Preselected Channel switch will then flash. When you are ready to change to the preselected Channel simply press the Select switch.
