USEFUL HINTS AND TIPS
The following hints and tips are provided so that you can get the best performance out of your Laney valve amplifier. These are
only guidelines and should be adapted to suit your own personal preferences:-
1: Valve amplifiers take a short time to 'warm up' to optimum operating temperature. To get optimum performance out of your
amp, allow the amplifier to 'warm up' for approximately three minutes. before you begin playing.
2: The position of an amplifier in a room has an effect upon the overall sound characteristics. If you wish to increase the bass
response of your amplifier place the amplifier on the floor. If you wish to reduce the bass response of your amplifier place the
amplifier on a stand.
3: Do not place you amplifier hard up against a wall as this will reduce the air circulating around the back of the unit and may
result in overheating.
4: Connecting your guitar to either the 'HI' or 'LO' input has an effect on the sound, regardless of the guitar type/pickup
configuration. The 'HI' socket provides more gain. The 'LO' socket provides a lower gain. You should experiment with both
inputs to find the one which suits your guitar, style of playing, and gives you the most tonally pleasing results.
