Laney VC50 clips (it's a VH100R combo)

[inter]

I just picked up a Laney VC50.

As some of you guys may know, the Laney VC50 is the discontinued VH100R combo. Laney really screwed up the marketing side of these things. The name "VC50" is too similar to their lower/middle range models.

Here's the clip: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=268886

How in the world did you find one down under? :laugh2: Sounds pretty similar to mine, but you got some major treble and highs.. using stock speakers? Look in my sig for what i use, I find it works best.

But it sounds good...how much did you crank it up?

Cool playing

Lol, I'd say we'd have just about as many VC50's floating around as you folk below the little ol' Mason-****son line .

Any clips? Looks like your setup is geared a little differently to mine. I'm done with actives and distortion pedals though I'm not sure if I should grab a 2x12 or 4x12. Have you tried a 4x12 cab with yours?

Cheers StrangeSound, I'd say around shouting level. It has a roaring 80's Marshall feel to it at low vol. I saw an old friend's cover band a couple of weeks ago and his tone was awesome with just a JCM800 and quad, an analog delay and 2 x GE-7's as his boost/s.

I dont have decent enough recording gear.. im planning to change that though. What did you use to record this? You captured the sound pretty well..

Anyhow, I dont like EMG pickups through the laney all that much, but it does give it a kick. I still like passives with the SD1 as a boost. Very organic, and the SD1 makes it feel better to the fingers, and beefs the sound up a bit. I strongly recommend trying an OD pedal for a boost. I run two eminence V12s in my Splawn cab right now, and that tames the highs big time compared to when the combo had two celestion G12-T75s (talk about horrible tone). What speakers are you using in the combo? Still havent tried it through a 4x12, but having a good close back cabinet will improve the low end x100000000. So basically, try an OD pedal, and try it through a good closed back cab.
