Laney A-DUO

Are you sitting comfortabl­y?

-

That’s a different shape…

There’s a very simple reason for it; Laney want you to sit on this 10.5kg combo. The small stage footprint dimensions and access for the control layout at the side are designed with this in mind. It can even be pole-mounted like a PA speaker.

Laney is a big name for electric guitarists, but what about acoustic?

We were really impressed with the A1+ wedge combo in 2015 and it proved that Laney know exactly what they’re doing in this market, especially in terms of value. We’re hoping the A-DUO can deliver in a similar style.

What’s different apart from the stool design?

There are similariti­es like the shape button (a preset EQ circuit to give a brighter top end and scooped mid when engaged) but this focuses on chorus and reverb rather than the multi-FX of the A1+. That combo’s front panel mid-sweep control is absent but snoop around the back to find a cabinet EQ switch to select one of four pre-defined EQ curves for quick access to tonal combinatio­ns.
