Laney LC15 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 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 recieve 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) Connect your instrument with a high quality shielded instrument cable. Use of cheap cables will compromise the
sound of your instrument and your amplifier.
