Got a story for you.
 My LH50R together with 4x10 Laney cab loaded with Jensens has lived in my shed for the past 5 years, having been replaced as my main gigging amp by an Orange AD30R. Cos we guitar players have to make a change now and again dont we!
 Recently thinking it was time for another leap forward, i visited a local music shop to check out all the Fender amps.  Played through a reissue pro reverb, excellent, a reissue super reverb, great, a vintage  Bassman, real nice. finally a modified blues delluxe with replacement speakers, transformer and valves, Wow that little beauty was awesome. "Thats the one" i said to myself and enquired as to the possibility of a part exchange with an old Laney head and cab i had kicking around and no longer had use for. "Bring her in and lets take a look" said the man.
 "Its been in the shed for 5 years" says i, "better hook it up and see if it still works".......f**k a doodle do! Our faces were pictures. It had clean tone and reverb to match the best of the Fenders with better overdrive tone and more  headroom.
  The Laney was promptly put back in the car and the very honest, helpful and slightly disappointed shop owner bade farewell.
  The Orange AD30R is a great amp, but i'm gonna give it a rest in the shed for a while and put this world beater back in the band van.  LH50R is a top amp. Thanks Laney.
