    So a transistor amplifier, 160 Watts, a quip Clestion HP 15-inch connection c at all there is more classic: two between the front (normal and high), an output mixer (DI), the rear there is something to plug in effects loops, etc. Electronic batteries and an output to add a baffle.
    In terms of rglages there everything you need, gain, volume, legalization 7 bands (very nice and helpful by the way), compressor, limiter (to avoid the distortion is high volume trs seems to me) and also what rgler the high and low. Level effects there is not much but a bass amp c APRS all!

    Simple to use, intuitive manual trs clear. Is obtained very easily thanks to its sought-notament legalization.

    SOUNDS

    The sound is still powerful and well Dfine. It is ideally suited my style of music (metal, blues and others). I play with a 5 string bass passive range of (Cort Action V) and I have absolutely no complaints at this level. Also, I t tonn the abscence of noise (grsillements, breath) this same by pushing the volume to maximum.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I t above the enjoyable quality of sound for the price (bottom) of the amp. I had the opportunity to test some of bass amps (Fender rumble100 Including the much talked about on forums and that is, I think, much less the HCM160B, but still I think ) and I could not find a better quality price. I use it for some time because I just almost just the acqurir I hsit long (infact was 4 months I was looking for an amp to find out about the forums), j have read some rumors about Laney not that scared me but a lot of bass players (including some professionals) and sellers have told me that Laney is a good brand trs, I made them and I do not trust not regret my choice.

    Transistor amplifier
    160W
    an active one passive input, output di, an effects loop as well as the possibility of adding a baffle

    a compressor, ehnancer, limit, and a 7-band legalization.

    UTILIZATION

    Usage is quite simple
    I easily got the sound I wanted

    SOUNDS

    It should be my style of music, which is nevertheless far from being hardcore trs, I use it with a Mexican jazz bass and I think in great slap. I also have a big sound trs serious and you get round easily.
    It is versatile trs.

    The report quality is exceptional, a little more expensive than the behringer and 1000 * better, I do not think there is such a good quality report on the market I prfre heavily mod most Chres.

    With the same budget, I would do the same choice without a doubt

    The report is qualitprix trs good. This is a good combo for group play without either go into the config header + baffle.

    Frankly, makes you want to be https://www.laney.co.uk Fidler LANEY, but if I rinvesti, it will be in a head and a speaker;)

    I would have preferred a little more kind of simulation of tube amp or something but it's not too serious, APRS power is not enough in my opinion his APRS dpend to that one fact, against by the eq is still quite simpa APRS to me even if it is not yet accurate enough but it manages.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Personally I t trs on by me, however, that the amp looks really terrible and APRS advice I heard he'd really look trs and I'm really good on it, I do not buy but I try them for quite some time.I 'had to try the Ibanez sound wave 100 (a loan in the same low price) and I find it really mieu m trs me if it's different, I also try the Hartke but jou are more in the same court.

    Basically I would never buy this amp

    100W transistor amp, 160 if you add a baffle.
    It was also a speaker output on the back of the beast.
    It has two inputs, high and low, according to the sound that one seeks, more or less aggressive ...
    7-band equalizer good practice, an output limiter and a compressor, two switchable, with also an input and output for effects, not to mention the volume and gain.
    It's a brave little mach noise that seems very complete.
    HP celestion anyway;)

    UTILIZATION

    It has a little trouble at first with the equalizer, but you get very quickly, the rest is just as simple, just do not have the IQ of an amoeba.
    The manual tells what all the little gadgets, nothing more.

    SOUNDS

    I oue of everything from pop, to punk and metal, and by operating well with the gain, you drool as you want.
    This amp is enough to see the concert rehearsals, he has the potato guy!
    You can have all the sounds if you take a minimum of time to study it.
    I use an ibanez srx355, 5cordes, and the E string sound!
    The active pickups are fishing and what gives lur amp scream passionately.

    OVERALL OPINION

    No bowl, he fell in the bay .........
    I was brought to the repair made ........ ......... stranded
    And after re-repair, it is ready to spray the porch of the neighbors!
    Well, apart from the terrible lack of bowl, this amp is a monster all-terrain doage it is done more for this price, price / quality ratio untouchable!
    I have had the opportunity to test a lot of animals before, that the EBS, but the price is not the same we agree: D
    Well, it takes the shock facing the monsters of this kind, and it has nothing to envy to others, if not better welds ....
    I would do without this choice problem, Laney confirms his place among the best, for a price among the best!
