... for the second time in my life.
I have been using a Laney LC-15 for over six years, and adding effects all the way until I found the uneffected tone sounds like crap when you hook up 7 pedals in front of the amp.
So I started thinking about an amp with a FX loop, and the LC-15R was an obvious choice. (However, I spent many sleepless nights thinking of other choices.) I'm getting a used LC-15R via DHL next week, and the price is very good (like 55% of the retail price, new).
I had two amps once - my no. 2 was the George Dennis Mighty Mouse combo. I loved the clean tones but later I was forced to sell it. I was pressed for money, and the amp was too loud for my purposes anyway. But the clean tone was a real treat. (To get an idea, see http://www.george-dennis.cz/pages/mighty.htm, or read a review in the Jan 05 issue of the Guitar Player, although the one reviewed in the mag is a slightly revamped version from mine).
The LC-15R has a reverb unit, a FX loop and an extension speaker jack - all features that my LC-15 does not have. I hope to build two complete rigs - one will be the LC-15 without ANY effects (or maybe just an OD pedal for solos), and the other will be the LC-15R with a pedalboard (guitar to amp: a Zoom Ultra Fuzz, Guyatone Tremolo and Wah Rocker, Tech 21 SansAmp TRI-AC; in the FX loop: a delay, a phaser, hopefully a chorus and some more stuff I have in the bottom drawer of my 'guitar chest').
