INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your decision to purchase a Laney 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 amplifier has undergone a thorough two stage, pre-delivery inspection, involving actual
play testing, as well as burn in.
When you first receive your Laney 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) Connect your instrument with a high quality instrument cable. Use of cheap cables will compromise
the sound of your instrument and your amplifier.
If there is a problem with your Laney amplifier
DON'T
DO
PHONE YOUR DEALER!
Care of your Laney amplifier will prolong it's life.....and yours!.
