USER MANUAL
Laney
Care of your Laney amplifier will prolong it's life.....and yours!.
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 dedicated ACOUSTIC 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 dedicated ACOUSTIC amplifier, 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 shielded instrument cable. Use of cheap cables will
compromise the sound of your instrument and your amplifier.

The input socket has been designed to accept both balanced and unbalanced signals from
microphones with an XLR input connector. Good quality low impedance condensor or
dynamic mics should preferably be used for best results, these will ensure the best possible
results from hand-held instruments or closely mic'd instruments.
Phono (RCA) sockets are provided for the connection of tape/CD machines.
Controls the overall listening level of the mic and the tape/CD auxiliary inputs.
Active and Passive/Active inputs are provided for connection of guitars. Guitars with active
circuitry should be connected via the Active socket. Non-active guitars should be connected
using the Passive input. Incidentally, guitars with active circuitry could be placed in the
Active input if pre-amp overloading is desired.
Controls the overall listening volume of the guitar inputs.
Enables the onboard chorus.
Controls the low frequency response of the pre-amplifier.
Selects the frequency at which the cut or boost selected by the paramid level control (9)
acts; to access LO mid frequencies turn the frequency control anti-clockwise, to access HI
mid frequencies turn the frequency control clockwise.
Sets the level of boost or cut applied to the frequency set by control 8: for frequency boost,
turn the control clockwise; for frequency cut, turn the frequency control anti-clockwise.
Controls the high frequency response of the amplifier.
Controls the level of reverb on the channel.
Socket provided for accepting the signal from another amplifier, see 13
Socket provided for sending signal to another amplifier or mixing desk. Connecting an LA30C
to another non chorus amp, such as an LA30 via the Line out socket to an insert sock will
produce a dramatic stereo chorus effect between the two amplifier.
