This input is designed for the connection of low output level guitars making it well suited for guitars with single coiled or low gain humbucker type pickups. Use of high gain pickups in this input may drive the preamp too hard causing a "mushy" sound. Only use good quality guitar cable. LO INPUT: ‘Lo’ stands for low gain.

VC15-110 Laney OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS TUBE AMPLIFIER SURVIVAL TIPS Tube amplifiers generally sound much warmer/sweeter than solid state transistor amplifiers but they also need a little more respect due to the fragile glass tubes themselves. The VC15 uses top quality tubes, three ECC83 preamp tubes, and a matched set of two EL84 output tubes which should give you years of trouble free service, however like all tube amps; it is important to treat it with a certain amount of care.
