Laney Amplification | 1 decade ago

The A1+ - the new 80W RMS twin channel, pole mountable Acoustic amplifier from Laney.

Matt Marriott demonstrates the all-new Laney A1+ acoustic amplifier at Monochrome Studio.

The A1+ represents a significant leap forward in amplified acoustic guitar tone. Designed to deliver high quality acoustic sound reinforcement from a small portable package.

The A1+ offers accurate and truthful acoustic tone. It's the best sounding acoustic amp we've ever heard.

Consisting of two totally independent channels, that can handle both MIC and PICKUP sources equally well and be used at the same time, the A1+ was specifically designed multi pickup guitar systems in mind.

Each channel is equipped with powerful EQ and stage ready features such as Switchable Phantom Power, Anti feedback control, Phase switch and high quality on board DSP. The A1's DSP output can be allocated to either or both channels -- great for putting a big reverb on the internal mic whilst keeping the piezo signal crystal clear.

The A1+ has ample headroom courtesy of the 80W RMS output section and comes fitted with a specially designed 8" woofer, which gives the unit a solid low-end response whilst the upper frequencies are handled by a 1" Dome tweeter.

The rear panel of the A1+ features a studio quality FX loop as well as an on board DI which delivers the true sound of your guitar -- without introducing anything you do want into the signal.

With a footswitchable MUTE control and the ability to be pole mounted with the A1+, whatever you guitar style from strumming to Karate guitar -- you've got it covered.

Talking of covering the new A1+ is finished in the new TuffStuff covering which is an extremely tough and ultra-durable polyurethane coating so it looks almost as good as it sounds!
