Laney Cub 12R Tube Guitar Combo AmplifierThe Laney Cub 12R features great straight ahead vintage valve tone with a splash of high quality reverb. The Cub 12R houses a Celestion 12 inch driver and pushes out up to 15 watts RMS of pure vintage valve tone, we say up to 15 watts RMS as it has the option of running at significantly less output but more on that in a moment. Lets take a look at the preamp, this consists of the following controls from right to left - gain, treble, middle, bass, volume, tone and finally reverb. The Cub 12R's valve complement consists of 3 x ECC83 valves in the preamp giving you the ability to dial in plenty of gain, and the output section consists of 2 x EL84 output valves, which give you that classic British tonality to the amp when they are pushed hard. The Cub 12R features a nifty output trick - if you look at the front panel you'll notice two input sockets, one labelled 15W, the other labelled <1W. If you plug into the 15W socket you get the full power of the amp, 15 Watts of wonderfully warm valve tone. Plug into the <1W and you get .75 of a Watt output. This allows you to drive the amplifier as hard as you like, giving you masses of power amp compression and a pleasing break up for that elusive DARK ART tone. The Cub 12R's rear panel features everything you'll need, additional speaker outs with both 8 and 16 Ohm options, a footswitch socket for switching the reverb and an effects loop. The Cub 12R offers a welcome addition to the Laney tube amp range giving everyone the opportunity to experience the sound and feel of a good quality tube amp.

| Great little amp! |
| Quality |
| Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? |
| UK tone, Chinese cousins. Everything seems sturdy and in working order, too soon to tell. I've heard the light indicating the amps on can go up. Has not happened to me yet. |
| Reliability |
| How has it stood up over time? |
| Again, to soon to tell. It appears well constructed and I have faith. |
| Overall |
| Your general opinion of this product. |
| I was happy oveall, I wanted something affordable with decent tube tone. Something for Blues, Rock and easy to get around. |
| Playability and Feel |
| How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? |
| N/A |
| Tone |
| Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? |
| Tone knob and three band eq give you a decent control over the brightness(or harshness) of the amp. It sounds good, I use a Les Paul Special with p-100s. I like some bite, a regular Les Paul pick-up would shine with this amp as well. |
| Finish |
| How did the stain or paint job look? |
| Beautiful design, encourages you to play it when it's in the corner looking all sleek and sexy. |
