Laney Amps
A name that I've only seen here....

What would be a good price used?

Are they good amps?

What kind of tubes...

I've got an option on one... (Turned down the Transtube! )

If you can get a decent price on one, get it. Laneys sound really good.

Which Laney are you looking at? They vary massively.

Guy has an LC 15 that he's not used and not had tubes in for 3 months. Said it worked when he took them out, but selling as is.

I'm cautious....

Its a reasonable amp. As I remember, it doesn't have a particular character so it sounds more like your pickups that say a Vox or a Fender. Just a slightly fat, compressed crunch when you start to crank it. Its worth having a go/buying if its quite cheap. As for tubes, ecc84's for pre and el84's for power. Apparently.

they're ecc83s (12ax7) in the preamp. the retube kit (2xEL84, 3x12AX7) from Eurotubes.com is $45.50 + s/h

Strange. My LC15R only has two preamp tubes.
