Outstanding quality! It is very tight and well made.
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
I have only had a few weeks but it will last as a friend of mine is a Phd. in electronics and invents vacum tubes . He took a look at the specs and loved the Laney and so do I.
Overall
Your general opinion of this product.
Excellent sound and pedal friendly. It is LOUD and clean or nasty when picked hard. A perfect all tube ab amp. Get one before the price goes up.

Best bang for your buck in small amp if you're looking for clean tones. I've tried many of the small amps and this on is the best by a far. up to about 3 one the gain and the volume wide open you get beautiful cleans (I'm using a MIM Tele). After that you can continue to increase the gain and get into some nice overdrive ( I don't do any high gain stuff). Stock tubes are great, the stock speaker is passable, but plug it into a cab and it really sounds big.

Tone has plenty of bass, more than any of the small amps I've tried. Highs are there but subdued, easy to bring out with a brighter speaker but the stock one work fine.

I just got it but judging from the reviews on "you-tube" People all speak of it's reliability so it's reputation is good and AMS gives you an extra year. How can you lose?

Your general opinion of this product.
For the money all I ca say is Buy This Amp!!. It i shead and shoulders over a Blackhear for less money witha GREAT tone second to only a Blues Jr but over $300 less. The best back up and second amp any person could own. I only wish it had reverb it would get a 5

It responds to your playing very nicely.The harder you hit your chords and notes the more Voice you give to the amp..Something you will NEVER find on a Solid State amp
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
Second (IMO) only to the blues Jr and the ACC1C and perhaps to the Cub 12 but it has it's own voice and it is one excellent sounding amp. The PERFECT "second" amp
Finish

Excellent looking just the right size to "Grab and Go" and very solidly buily. A GREAT second amp only behind a Blues Jr or a VOX ACC1C....This is the best second amp you can buy.The clean is amazing

Only had it for a few weeks, but so far it's been great. It doesn't weigh much, but feels sturdy. The Tolex looks good. It's all British retro-ie looking. There's not a lot to it really. Just turn it on and play.

Overall
Your general opinion of this product.
My friend has a laney solid state amp that I loved so I decided to order a Laney amp for myself. Went with the tubes and very glad I did. It's warm, and fuzzy (when you turn the gain up). Even my little cheapie telecaster sounded great through it. It's easy to transport, has a decent amount of volume, and I think it will be a great little recording amp.
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
Easy to use. Big fat knobs on the top of the amp if you need to make adjustments while playing.
Tone

Warm and full of mids. The highest treble setting was still pretty mellow. The gain is really nice. I'm mostly an acoustic musician, but for the first time in awhile I have the electric urge. Has a lot to do with this amp, I think.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
It looks really cool. I like equipment that inspires me to play and this totally does. I Just turn it on, let it warm up, then lay down on my bean bag chair and play until I pass out.

Seems solid. Some good stuff starting to come out of China. Wish it was USA made, but then it would be much more expensive. Cage on the back is good for protection of the innards, but the cord now has to be coiled and wrapped in the supplied velcro strap - just an extra 10 seconds in breakdown time

Only gigged it twice in the couple weeks I've owned it so no real value in me rating this - but it's still works!
