I get seriously tempted by these Laneys. However, unlike a lot of the guys on here, I don't really 'do' metal. I guess the hardest distortion I would want would be something like Dave Navarro's with Jane's Addiction, or Billy Corgan with the Pumpkins. But mostly I use less gain than that. Do you think a Laney would still be an appropriate choice (changing from a JCM800)?

I have an old Laney Pro-Tube, which was the second guitar head I ever bought, back when I was 19 years old. So, that means I own this-here club, not some Crazy-Joe-Come-Lately!  :twisted:

Sorry but as far as gear goes it's strictly "he who has the most toys (Laneys) wins"  :wink:

My very first amp, back in 1980, was a Laney Mighty Eight practice amp.  Does that count?

I dont play loads of metal either and have a GH50L. It has a nice clean if you set it up that way, and I'd say it can do Navarro tones no problem. I think people say the GH50L is like a JCM800 with more gain on tap, so maybe its not "different" enough for you, if youre after something different that is.

The GH50L will be officially mine on Monday, I expect I'll be playing with it all day :D

I don't think the Laneys are by any means exclusively metal amps!  All the models I've tried out have always seemed to have a very versatile range of tones in them, definitely including some very classic ones.  Indeed, I've always liked the Laney amps precisely because they have a classic vibe to them without sounding just like a Fender or a Marshall.  Good value for money, I've always thought.

i've owned a Laney LC30-II and LC15R.. Can I join??

I always find the only thing that lets Laney Combo's down is the speakers in the cab are pants, but the amp it's self with a good set of tubes + cab is killer.

I own a Laney Linebacker 100 Bass amp so I have the biggest speaker!

15 inch = I rule all of you!  :twisted:

Well, Twinfan has a few cabs with 12 inchers in so I think he wins so far :P
