IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: When using electric products, basic cautions should always be followed, including the following.
1. Read all safety and operating instructions before using this product
2. The product should be powered by a three pin `grounded (or earthed) plug connected to a power socket with a grounded earth outlet.
3. All safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference
4. Obey all cautions in the Operating instructions and on the back of the unit
5. All operating instructions should be followed
6. This product should not be used near water, i.e. a bathtub, sink, swimming pool, wet basement, etc.
7. This product should be located so that its position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. It should not be placed flat against a wall or placed in a built up enclosure that
will impede the flow of cooling air.
8. This product should not be placed near a source of heat such as stove, radiator, or another heat producing amplifier.
9. Connect only to a power supply of the type marker on the unit adjacent to the power supply cord.
10. Never break off the ground pin on a power supply cord.
11. Power supply cords should always be handled carefully. Never walk or place equipment on power supply cords. Periodically check cords for cuts or signs of stress, especially at
the plug and the point where the chord exits the unit.
12. The power supply cord should be unplugged when the unit is to be unused for long periods of time.
13. If this product is to be mounted in an equipment rack, rear support should be provided.
14. The user should allow easy access to any mains plug, mains coupler and mains switch used in conjunction with this unit thus making it readily operable.
15. Metal parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth. The vinyl covering used on some units can be cleaned with a damp cloth or ammonia based household cleaner if necessary.
Disconnect the unit from the power supply before cleaning.
16. Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the unit through any ventilation holes or openings. On no account place drinks on the unit.
17. A qualified service technician should check the unit if:
18. The user should not attempt to service the equipment. All service work is done by a qualified service technician.
19. Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause a permanent hearing gloss. Individuals vary considerably in susceptibility to noise induced hearing loss, but nearly everyone
will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a sufficient time. The U.S. Government's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified
the following permissible noise level exposure.
Duration Per Day In Hours Sound Level dBA, slow response
8 90
6 92
4 95
3 97
2 100
1 ½ 102
1 105
½ 110
¼ or less 115
According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of the above permissible limits could result in some hearing loss. Ear plugs or protectors in the ear canals or over the ears must be
worn when operating this amplification system in order to prevent a permanent hearing loss if exposure exceeds the limits set forth above. To ensure against potentially dangerous
exposure to high sound pressure levels it is recommended that all persons exposed to equipment capable of producing high sound pressure levels such as this amplification system
be protected by hearing protectors while this unit is in operation.
!The power cord has been damaged
!Anything has fallen or spilled into the unit
!The unit does not appear to operate correctly
!The unit has been dropped or the enclosure damaged.

INTRODUCTION
The LV300H is a 120W three channel guitar head. It features a true tube-loaded drive stage;
separate three band eq for the clean and drive channels (Drive 1 + 2 share); clean channel bright
switch; drive channel ‘V’ preshape; global FX Loop for any external effects units and an overall
‘VTS’ tone shaping switch. The built in reverb has independent level controls for the clean and
drive channels and is footswitchable with the enclosed three way footswitch, as are the clean
and drive channels.
An explanation of these features follows on pages 6-8.
BEFORE SWITCHING ON
After unpacking your amplifier check that it is factory fitted with a three pin 'grounded' (or earthed) plug. Before plugging into the power supply
ensure you are connecting to a grounded earth outlet.
If you should wish to change the factory fitted plug yourself, ensure that the wiring convention applicable to the country where the amplifier is to be used
is strictly conformed to. As an example in the United Kingdom the cable colour code for connections are as follows.
NOTE
This manual has been written for easy access of information. The front and rear panels are graphically illustrated, with each control and feature
numbered. For a description of the function of each control feature, simply check the number with the explanations adjacent to each panel.
Your Laney amplifier has undergone a thorough two stage, pre-delivery inspection, involving actual play testing.
When you first receive your Laney guitar amplifier, follow these simple procedures:
(i) Ensure that the amplifier is the correct voltage for the country it is to be used in.
ii) Connect your instrument with a high quality shielded instrument cable. You have probably spent considerable money on your amplifier and
guitar - don’t use poor quality cable it won’t do your gear justice.
Please retain your original carton and packaging so in the unlikely event that some time in the future your amplifier should require servicing you
will be able to return it to your dealer securely packed.
Care of your Laney amplifier will prolong it's life.....and yours!

Dear Player,
Thank you very much for purchasing your new Laney product and becoming part of the
worldwide Laney family. Each and every Laney unit is designed and built with the utmost
attention to care and detail, so I trust yours will give you many years of enjoyment.
Laney products have a heritage which stretches back to 1967 when I first began building
valve amplifiers in my parent’s garage. Since then we have moved on from strength to
strength developing an extensive range of guitar, bass, public address and keyboard
amplification products along with a list of Laney endorsees that includes some of the
world’s most famous and respected musicians. At the same time we believe we have not
lost sight of the reason Laney was founded in the first place - a dedication to building
great sounding amplification for working musicians.
Warm Regards,

BEFORE turning on your guitar amplifier. Many products have large transient surges at turn on
and off which can cause damage to your speakers. By turning on your guitar amplifier LAST and
making sure its Volume controls are set to minimum any transients from other
equipment will not reach your loudspeakers. Wait until all system parts have stabilised;
usually a couple of seconds. Similarly when turning off your system always turn down
the Volume controls on your guitar amplifier and then turn off its power before turning
off other equipment.
Cables: never use shielded or microphone cable for any speaker connections as this will not be
substantial enough to handle the amplifier load and could cause damage to your amplifier
system.
Caution: These professional loudspeaker systems are capable of generating very high sound
pressure levels. Use care with placement and operation to avoid exposure to excessive levels
that can cause permanent hearing damage. (Refer to guidelines on page 2)
Servicing: The user should not attempt to service these products. Refer all servicing to
qualified service personnel.
