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!

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 marked 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.

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 loss. 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. (See oposite).
According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of the 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.

INTRODUCTION
The LX120RH is a 120W twin channel guitar head amplifier. It features two completely
separate channels, each with bass, mid and treble EQ controls; and the drive channel is
also loaded with our custom XTS technology.
It also features twin speaker sockets to drive your cabinets and a CD/Line In socket
should you need to play along to a CD/MP3; Power Amp Out, Preamp In sockets; FX
loop sockets for your external FX processors; and finally the LX120RH features a built in
spring line reverb with master level control.
We hope you enjoy using your LX120RH as much as we enjoyed designing and making it.
Best wishes from all at Laney.
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,
Lyndon Laney CEO

General Notes
Amplifier connection: In order to avoid damage,
it is advisable to establish and follow a pattern for
turning on and off your equipment.
With all system parts connected, turn on source equipment, tape decks, cd players, mixers, effects processors etc. 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.
Servicing: The user should not attempt to service these products. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
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.
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.
