Laney ChromeOzone User Manual - page 2
Care of your Laney amplifier will prolong it's life.....and yours!. If you follow these guidelines your equipment will give you
years of playing pleasure
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
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
INTRODUCTION
BEFORE
SWITCHING ON
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 valve amplifier has undergone a thorough two stage, pre-delivery inspection, involving actual play testing, as well as
valve burn in. Valves are the most important component in your Laney 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..
When you first receive your Laney 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.
