Laney VC30-112 - Manual (Page 9)

POWER INLET SOCKET. Connect to your power source. Make sure the specified voltage is correct for your country!
POWER FUSE: This drawer contains the main safety fuse for the unit. The fuse protects the AC power to the amplifier.
USE ONLY THE CORRECT SIZE AND RATING OF FUSE AS SPECIFIED ON THE PANEL. If a fuse blows or fails and a
replacement of the same size and rating is installed and it in turn blows, the amplifier has suffered a malfunction internally and
needs immediate service from a qualified technician. DO NOT TRY USING A FUSE OF HIGHER RATING. Using a fuse that
is too large in current rating may cause serious, irreparable damage to the amplifier and presents a serious fire hazard. The
mains fuse ratings are detailed in the specs section at the rear of this manual
HT FUSE: This fuse protects the DC power to the tubes within the amplifier. USE ONLY THE CORRECT SIZE AND
RATING FUSE AS SPECIFIED ON THE PANEL. If a fuse blows or fails and a replacement of the same size and rating is
installed and it in turn blows, the amplifier has suffered a malfunction, at this point check the output tubes and replace faulty
ones if required. Should tubes not be the problem the amplifier should be checked out by a qualified technician. Do not try
using a fuse of greater value. Using a fuse that is too large in current rating may cause serious, irreparable damage to the
amplifier. Fuses are designed to protect, do not take chances.
SERIAL NO: Displays the model and serial number of the unit.
EFFECTS LOOP: SEND/LINE OUT: Connect the input of your external effect to this socket. All of the signal leaves the
amplifier via the `Send’ socket to be processed and comes back from the effects via the `Return` socket. This socket can also
be used to control another VC30 amplifier connected to this socket via its own return socket. Some Effects are better suited
to being between the guitar and amplifer input - these are foot pedal types / distortion / wah wah pedals etc. Rack mount
effects will work better in the FX loop on the amplifer rear. Stomp boxes are normally designed for small signals such as a
guitar output whereas rack mount FX are designed for the higher signal level obtained from an FX send. This socket can also
be used as a Line Level Out.

BY-PASS/LEVEL SWITCH: This switch allows the effects loop to be by-passed if not in use, it also gives you the option
of running the FX loop at 0dB (750mV) or at -10dB (250mV) to suit your processor.
EFFECTS LOOP: RETURN: Connect the output from your external effects to this socket. The effects loop allows you to
connect external effects such as tremolo’s, chorus and delays to your amplifier. All of the signal leaves the amplifier via the
`Send’ socket and comes back from the effects via the `Return` socket. Use the output level control on your FX to control
how loud the FX return signal sounds. This is an insert type control, therefore you need to set the Dry/ Wet mix in your FX
processor.
FOOTSWITCH SOCKET: Provided for the connection of a Laney FS2 footswitch (optional) .This allows you to remotely
switch between the clean/drive channel and & switch the built in reverb On/Off.
INTERNAL CABINET: y a ¼” (6.3mm)
the impedance selector 6
Use to connect an 8-16 ohm extension cabinet. Please note mismatched impedance will reduce
the amplifiers performance and in some cases may cause damage to your amplifier. Try the VC30 into a Laney 4*12 cabinet -
you will be amazed what this baby cranks out.
The internal loudspeaker is connected b jack to this socket. With no extension
cabinet connected ensure that switch ( ) is set to 8 ohms. In use your VC30 should always have a
speaker connected otherwise you risk damaging the VC30’s output transformer.
IMPEDANCE SELECTOR SWITCH: This optimises the VC30’s output for 4 or 8-16 ohm loads. When using with the
‘on board’ speaker set to it 8 ohms. If using an 8-16 ohm extension cabinet at the same time as the onboard speaker, set
the switch to 4 ohms. If you set it wrong it will reduce the life of your output tubes and won’t sound as good.
