INTRODUCTION
1
Congratulations on your decision to purchase a amplifier.
products are designed with ease of operation as a primary objective, however to ensure you derive the best from your
Laney
new amplifier, it is important you take time to read this user manual and to familiarise yourself with the control functions and facilities available
Laney
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
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 valve amplifier has undergone a thorough two stage, pre-delivery inspection, involving actual play testing, as well
Laney
as valve burn in. Valves are the most important component in your 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..
Laney
When you first recieve your 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) Ensure that the speaker is connected to the appropriate socket.
(iii) Connect your instrument with a high quality shielded instrument cable. Use of cheap cables will compromise the sound of your instrument and your amplifier.
