WARNING: When using electric products, basic cautions should always be followed, including the following.
1. Read all safety and operating instructions before using this product
2. The product should be powered by a three pin `grounded (or earthed) plug connected to a power socket with a grounded earth outlet.
3. All safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference
4. Obey all cautions in the Operating instructions and on the back of the unit
5. All operating instructions should be followed
6. This product should not be used near water, i.e. a bathtub, sink, swimming pool, wet basement, etc.
7. This product should be located so that its position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. It should not be placed flat against a wall or placed in a
built up enclosure that will impede the flow of cooling air.
8. This product should not be placed near a source of heat such as stove, radiator, or another heat producing amplifier.
9. Connect only to a power supply of the type marked on the unit adjacent to the power supply cord.
10.Never break off the ground pin on a power supply cord.
11.Power supply cords should always be handled carefully. Never walk or place equipment on power supply cords. Periodically check cords for cuts or signs of
stress, especially at the plug and the point where the chord exits the unit.
12.The power supply cord should be unplugged when the unit is to be unused for long periods of time.
13.If this product is to be mounted in an equipment rack, rear support should be provided.
14.The user should allow easy access to any mains plug, mains coupler and mains switch used in conjunction with this unit thus making it readily operable.
15.Metal parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth. The vinyl covering used on some units can be cleaned with a damp cloth or ammonia based household
cleaner if necessary. Disconnect the unit from the power supply before cleaning.
16.Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the unit through any ventilation holes or openings. On no account place
drinks on the unit.
17.A qualified service technician should check the unit if:

Anything has fallen or spilled into the unit
!
The unit does not appear to operate correctly
!
18.The user should not attempt to service the equipment. All service work is done by a qualified service
technician.
19. Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause a permanent hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably in
susceptibility to noise induced hearing loss, but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently
intense noise for a sufficient time. The U.S. Government's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
has specified the following permissible noise level exposure. (See oposite).
According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of the permissible limits could result in some hearing loss. Ear
plugs or protectors in the ear canals or over the ears must be worn when operating this amplification system in
order to prevent a permanent hearing loss if exposure exceeds the limits set forth above. To ensure against
potentially dangerous exposure to high sound pressure levels it is recommended that all persons exposed to equipment capable of producing high sound
pressure levels such as this amplification system be protected by hearing protectors while this unit is in operation.
The unit has been dropped or the enclosure damaged.

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 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!

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

The VC30 has been providing superb vintage sounds for over 10 years, with a pedigree stretching back to the 60’s; this must be
close to making the VC30 genuine vintage itself !
The VC30 envelopes the player with the tools to create those finger picking clean tones and authentic crunchy blues tones
synonymous with vintage style amplifiers, and brings you that certain colourful vintage tone created only by vintage tube amps.
The Vc30’s 30W Class A output stage oozes classic, warm tube tones: The harder you drive it, the better it sounds. Plus with
enough gain for contemporary tones, it also has a mean, spiteful side to it as well – making it ideal for any style of playing.
Perfect for studio and practice use, but also equally at home or on stage by itself or plugged into a Laney extension cabinet
(Such as a GS210VE, GS112VE etc), the sound will blow you away.

Your VC30 should give you years of trouble-free amplification, however please take time to read this manual and familiarise
yourself with the controls as it will allow you to get the best from your amplifier. We hope you enjoy using your VC30 as much
as we enjoyed designing and making it.
Best wishes from all at Laney.
