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 that stretches back to 1967 when I first began building valve amplifiers in my parents’ garage.
Since then we have moved on from strength to strength developing an extensive range of guitar, bass, public address, multi-instrument, 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
Chairman and Founder.

Switch off and disconnect the power cord before proceeding.

POLE MOUNTING

All cabinets should be balanced and steady.
Don’t over-extend poles/tripods; ensure at least 4 x the pole diameter is still inside the outer pole.
Make sure the legs have a good splay on tripods but do not obstruct doorways or other accessways.
If a pole mount is used, make sure that the thumbscrew on the cabinet is tight.
Keep lights away from speakers; heat can cause fires/speaker damage.
Don’t run cables across accessways; if you have to, run them above doors or use approved cable covers.
Be aware of total power usage. Overloading a mains socket is potentially dangerous, and likely to cause power out during use.
Keep lighting cables away from ALL sound cables including mains, use a separate circuit for lights if possible.
Keep power and signal cables apart.
