Re: Laney amps?
the gh50l is pretty good, songle channel with gain boost, uses 6l6 tubes and are relativly bright. the tt50 is three channel amp using el34 tubes, has switchable master volumes and eq for each channel.
Ive tried the gh50 and its quite nice, havent tried the tt or lc yet but hear good things about both.
What are you looking for exactly tone wise?

Re: Laney amps?
I remember trying a GH50L out a long time ago... It was cool. It was set for EL34s and it reminded me of a Marshall with a little more sizzle on top.
I may or may not be keeping my Legacy when it comes back from getting fixed, so I'm looking for other options. The sound of EL34 amps is my favorite, but I'm looking for a fat, bold, expressive sound, not necessarily the vintage Marshall thing. Modern tones are what I'm after.

Re: Laney amps?
Well the TT series is definately more modern, its very middy. To be honest, Jeff's clips of his 5150 tone reminds me of it. They dont get as heavy as a 5150 though.. definately smooth and very fat. Cant really comment on the others.

Re: Laney amps?
Smooth, fat, good mids... I think that TT might be more my style. I'm currently looking for a dealer that stocks 'em.
I've played his 5150 a few times, in fact i used it on my band's demo. The track "I've Had Enough" on our myspace page is all 5150 as far as my guitar goes.

Re: Laney amps?
Thinkin about joining the Laney brethren, yes. Also considering joining the Peavey gang, or returning to the Mesa club to which i once belonged. Hell, I may even run off and join the Fender Freaks if I find the right amp. There's also Marshall Maniacs and of course the Carvin Cretins I currently hang with.
It could go anywhere from here, really.

Re: Laney amps?
I have a Vh-100R and an LC-15R and have also used a Gh-50L. The one common feature you will find among all laney's is the very smooth liquid high gain and top end sizzle when you crank the treble up. Personally i would say the LC is not what you're after if you want modern tones. The Gh-50L or the Vh-100R are right up your alley tho, as they can be biased for 6l6's or EL34's. I run mine with 6l6's but using EL34's works great too. Kind of allows you to switch between a more Mesa like sound and a more Marshall like sound. Bottom line, you won't go wrong with either.

Re: Laney amps?
I have not played the TT B2. But, i have to agree with those here on the GH. It is voiced in Marshall territory, but has that sizzle on the top end. It is not quite as upper-middy as the stereotypical modern Marshall, a bit more lower middy, a bit thicker. They have a bit of a Voxy topend, not spikey, more chimey. It is a one channel amp, with a foot switchable added gain stage, making it a bit difficult to get to a pure clean channel and a gain channel quickly.
The LC50 has tons more gain than the LC15, as the LC30 does also. The LC50 has the modern Laney voice I spoke of with the GH series, but in a smaller package.
Many Laney's are finicky to what tubes you put in them. Certain tubes can make them a bit fuzzy, certain tubes can make them overly bright.
