lateralus462 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) 50 Watt Laney VC50 4 Channel all valve guitar combo - stunning clean sounds right through to as much gain as anyone could ever need. I haven't used the amp extensively for a fair while, it had developed a slight fault where it would drop in volume intermitantly, but a power amp re valve and bias adjust appears to have solved the problem- I had it running near full volume (and it nearly took my head off, this thing is LOUD) for a couple of 4 hour band practices over the last couple of weeks with absolutely no issues at all - I had forgotten how awesome this thing sounds, in fact if I had the space i would seriously consider keeping it. Like I said before It was re-biased and had new valves last year and since then has had very little use - I would think that it's probably due for a service as it hasn't had one for a while. The only fault I can find is that one of the speaker outputs has a loose connection which could do with looking at (the other output is fine) and the tolex has a few rips in (the amp is from 1996 and has been gigged a fair bit) Comes with the original 4 way footswitch. I need this shifted fairly quickly so I'm only asking [s]£180.00[/s] £160.00 It will need to be collected (I'm just outside Reading, Berkshire) or I could possibly deliver for the cost of petrol providing it's not too far.

Dad3353 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 We have one of these in our stable; it is, as has been stated, LOUD. These things spit fire. Not for clean jazz. Enormous tonal range with the various channels and eq variation; not the most intuitive, though, more for the experienced player. very robust (ours has been gigged to f*** and has never flinched...), but very heavy (think Fender Twin...). All in all, an excellent bargain at that price, imho; more so if it's in the condition apparent from the photo. Hearing protection should have been offered as standard to the original buyer, and is to be seriously considered by any acquirer. You have been warned. A great, under-rated British amp (Union Flag speaker backs..!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcnach Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 That was a steal!!! I owned one of these... loud, very loud beast with a lovely clean sound... the crunch and heavy overdrive tones weren't bad either. Heavy beast 'though. Great amps!
