Lately I had the opportunity to play in one pack some ancient Laney gear ranging from 6-channel PA (brilliant for docking multiple preamps) through Supergroup and Klipp to AOR to latest GH50L and LC15. All of them were solid with helluva sound right out of the box, just the guitar+cable+amp way. I admit that I skipped the AOR, I know mine inside/outside enough.
It was a nostalgic trip not only because of the age of these beasts. I have owned some of similar old ones back in the days. They were badly worn and became unreliable after 20-30 years of bumping on the road without adequate care and attention of previous owners and modding without brains I assume. Tight on the budget and knowledge required, instead of restoring them I traded all for something more reliable but whenever it came to sound - I must admit that I still put them among my fav tones ever left my speakers.
Where would you place Laneys on the map of amps?
