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.

EXTENSION CABINET:

  

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.  A portion 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.

EFFECTS LOOP SEND: 

 Connect the input of your external effect to this socket A ‘side chain’effects loop allows you to 

connect external effects such as tremolo’s, chorus and delays to your amplifier.  Signal leaves the amplifier via the `Send’ socket 
and comes back from the effects via the `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.

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.

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.
