TONE
14.
The TONE control works in a similar fashion to the Tone control you probably have on
your guitar except that it uniquely works at the other end of the amplification chain. This
has the ability to not only control the overall top end response, but also reduce upper
harmonics on the output stage and preamplifier overdrive sounds. This will give you
bright cutting sounds at high settings and smooth rounded sounds at lower settings.
Midway (0) is a good starting point. The sonic outcome when using the TONE and
DYNAMICS controls depend greatly on the speaker cabinet connected to the amplifier.
REVERB
15.
Controls the level of the built in Laney-designed digital reverb.
WATTS
16.
The WATTS acts like an overall Volume control for the amplifier, allowing the user to
retain similar tonal qualities, unique to a valve amplifier, but at reduced output levels,
ideal in a practice environment. Full output power is achieved with the WATTS control
fully clockwise and will run the power tubes at maximum level. Reduced overall output
volume is achieved by turning the WATTS control anticlockwise.
STANDBY SWITCH and STATUS LAMP
17.
Internally disconnects the main HT voltage from the tubes but keeps the tubes warm so
that they are ready to play instantly. Switch for short breaks when you don't want to wait
for the tubes to warm up again. With the switch in the 1 (up) position, the amp is in play
mode, while 0 (down) allows the amp to warm up. The STANDBY LAMP will illuminate
when the amplifier is in play mode.
POWER SWITCH and LAMP
18.
Main power switch for the unit. Tube amplifiers take between 30 seconds to 2 minutes to
warm up and be ready to play after switching on, this is normal. Use in conjunction with
the standby switch to prolong tube life. To turn on, flip the switch to 1 (up), the POWER
lamp will illuminate.
