UTILIZATION

The manual provided is useless for such a simple amp obdience "vintage". No hidden functions, effects section with moult parameter.
Everything is very simple, you plug, you play.
The choice is between a pat on the important insofar as it made a good Determines diffrent and a capacity to saturate sooner or later the Tage pr-based amplification mics of the instrument.
Similarly, the absence of "Master volume" can be crippling when it comes to adjusting the level gnral the fly without touching the balance of the channels clear / saturated . This is what makes me fall in note 8.

SOUNDS

L we can start talking srieusement!
I thought navement a amp of this caliber could not offer the versatility required by the directory of my group. No way!
First, the clear sound: FABULOUS is the term that is needed, but we can complter by CLEAR, stout, dynamic, fluid ....
It's simple, clear sound is so good that it alone justifies the purchase of the VC30. Ms. Fender laficionado of "great era" bow to the clear sound. It is indeed an exceptional basis to value a pedalboard too loaded. In my case: Delay TC NovaRepeater in the loop, Boss CS3 Compressor and Blackstar HT Dual in faade.
The clean channel of this amp combines a bit of rverbe (that of the amp is usable to the end of its travel without drowning the sound in the slurry) opens the doors of country, rockabilly, funk , ballads and jazz.Le guitar sound is guaranteed.
The canal begins by providing a saturated overdrive "crmeux" that works "fingers". It's sublime! The volume on the device then allows smooth transitions between light and saturated one is in the realm of blues and jazz! Those who enjoy working the strings will rgaler. As one increases the gain, one approaches the distortion associated with the world of boogie-rock or blues fawn nergique ACDC, zztop, status quo, and other emblmes of 70 '.
Gain background, many rock solos are possible.
WARNING! Under no circumstances is this amp to destiny Metall and followers of sounds from beyond the grave.
In my case, j'accde to heavy metal and modern rock through my pedals HTdual. And again, the combination of the two is fabulous.
Button bright and Tone gnrale allow many possibilities in the search for his killer. Everything about this amp is and subtle.
A real slap! The sound overall would fall somewhere between a Fender and a Vox right. As a concept not easy I admit ...
The VC 30 can essentially just go with 2-3 pedals to cover an extensive directory trs. All this keeping a real personality.

OVERALL OPINION

APRs have tried a Fender Hot Rod, a Peavey Classic 30, a Bogner Alchemist, a Blackstar HT40, my ears to this port my Laney VC30 112. The more silent Blackstar mtal East, the most complete silent Bogner (numriques effects) but with less personality and more cher.Le Peavey Fender offered the same low quality prs s but the saturated channel seemed more pleasant and less screaming.
For 545 euros new, no other product does this report. It is stunning.
The power is in the appointment. The look is sober but "class". To replace my Line6 Spidervalve (very versatile, but that the use complex) I just redcouvrir simplicity that "vintage" means. The Laney plays almost in the court of Vox. I would do this choice without a doubt!
