laney amp recommendation?

[Jing]

any recommendation of laney amps? I need some amp that can "hear" the difference between a good guitar and a normal one. Currently im using marshall mg 15cdr, i guess that ****ty? The damage I can take is at most $300

the VC and LC combos are pretty good valve amps. I'm not sure what they'll cost in the US but they seem to be pretty cheap over here.

actually im thinking of mxd series. how are those? I couldnt find any reviews on it at all. Anyway the valve amps arent available in my location

anyway im interested in this, not too sure whether it is good or not. MXD120H



edited: found that the price is only for the head

any how about other mxd series? how are they?

is it possible to connect 1 (not 2?) cabinet to a head? Im thinking of getting 1 hcm412 cabinet and a mxd120h head. is that possible? And its for home usage, izzit abit tooo loud? And must i turn the volume to dam loud to hear "true" voice of the amp?

Easily possible, Jing. You just need to match up Ohms, and most amps provide two options, one tailored to two 4x12's, the otherfor one 4x12.

Never played a Laney myself, so I can't give you advice, but the guys from Opeth have gotten some VERY heavy sounds from what I've always been told is a medium gain amp, so let's say they're probably versatile enough for you to get whatever you're looking for.
