7 USEFUL HINTS AND TIPS The following hints and tips are provided so that you can get the best performance out of your Laney valve amplifier. These are only guidelines and should be adapted for your own preferences:1: Valve amplifiers take a short time to 'warm up' to optimum operating temperature. To get optimum performance out of your amp allow the amplifier to 'warm up' for three mins. before you begin playing.
8 SYMPTOM 3 Secondary HT fuse (1Amp time delay) blows repeatedly. This is a strong indication of a damaged output valve. The valve function chart shows the valve layout and the function each performs. SOLUTION 3 Replace the secondary fuse and turn on the power WITH STANDBY ENGAGED. View the output valves. If one of the valves fails to light up, replace that valve. If both of the output valves are lit dimily, look directly at the output valves abd disengage standby.
