Has anyone got any experience of the Laney VC15? I'm assuming they are similar to the VC30.
Yes, pretty similar. The VC15's are nice too, very light and portable. Well made with a plywood cab. Nice cleans crunch and drive. Reverb is just OK.
I've just bought one for my small practise amp, I wanted something grab-and-go for smaller drummerless gigs and jammin' at mates. The Jensen Speaker can't give out enough to keep up with a loud drummer. You would need an extension cab for that. Also note that as the valves are directly behind the speaker you can't really upgrade it unless you can find something as shallow (about 90mm). That said the low efficiency is helpful to me in most situations.
For full band gigs I'll be ordering an MJW Roadstar as soon as I can but I'm glad I've got the Laney, it's so nice to just rush out the house carrying only a guitar on your back and a 14kg Combo.
Mine is in Ols English White.
Might be worth having a look at the new 15w cubs as well, they have an attenuated 1w output as well.
