EMC warning

It is inherent in the design of a loudspeaker and in the design of guitar pickups that they should emit or be affected by electro
magnetic fields. Loudspeaker enclosures should not be used less than two meters away from equipment, which is likely to
be affected by electro magnetic interference.
Likewise, guitar fitted with electro magnetic pickups should not be used less than two meters away from any source of
emissions such as loudspeakers. Emissions from loudspeakers are dependent on the frequency characteristics of the drive
unit. Levels were measured direct from the driver of 30 dBuV. These levels are reduced to a safe level at a distance of 1,27
meters from the drivers.

Introduction

Congratulations on your decision to purchase a new Laney TFX amplifier.

Laney products are designed with ease of operation as a primary objective, however to ensure you derive the best from
your new amplifier, it is important you take time to read this user manual and to familiarise yourself with the control
functions and facilities available

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 Laney TFX amplifier has undergone a thorough two stage, pre-delivery inspection, involving actual play testing, as
well as tube burn-in. Tubes are the one of the most important component in your Laney TFX amp. A tube has a life-span
of approximately two years. After this approximate length of time a tube may begin to wear out, at which point it should be
replaced. If you are unfamiliar with tube replacement, this is best carried out by a qualified service engineer.

When you first receive your Laney TFX amp, follow these simple procedures:

1. Ensure that the amplifier is set at the correct voltage for the country within which it is to be used.

2. Ensure that the speaker is connected to the appropriate socket.

3. Connect your instrument with a high quality shielded instrument cable. Use of cheap cables will compromise both the
sound of your instrument and your amplifier.
