laney aor 100w head....$300

[mawso]

Unless there's an in-between model I'm unaware of, both the 6 and 8 knob models have the eq boosts.

There's a "Laney Pro-Tube" which doesn't say "AOR series" on the bottom corner of the faceplate that doesn't have the boosts.  I don't think it's an in-between model though, i think it predates the 6 knob AOR.  Or maybe they were issued concurrently, I don't know.

I'm guessing that's probably the original jcm 800 lawsuit clone? They added the boosts and later the series 2 AOR channel to differentiate from Marshall?

I have no idea man.  I've never played through one - I've only seen them on for sale ads on the internet.  I own a 6 knob AOR 100 which I don't intend to sell, ever, and I've played through an AOR 30 combo with a closed back and through a 8 knob series I AOR50, and I really wish I'd bought those as well.

Any body know what the footswitch looked like for these heads( 1 switch, 2 switches?)? Will an after market one do or is it some special design that only works with Laney heads?

2 switch with a stereo jack works on mine:

Standard-ish stereo 1/4" jack worked for my AOR, too. I used some old Peavey two-switcher (one for channel-switching and one for reverb on/off)

I had an 8 knob 50 watter and thought it sounded too fizzy.

I did, too, and I did too. (at bedroom volumes it was fucking badass, the palm-chug-mutey-mute chugbeers were awesome, flick the neck pickup into gear and Hello! "Dopesmoker", but get it in a band room and Hello! Fizzsmoker)

Maybe its just the 50 watters, because my AOR 100 is just crushing. It seriously has made me rethink my sound/tone and opened new doors. I love a good AC/DC rock tone but at the same time what a heavier Sabbath tone at my disposal and this amp does it.

Thanks for the footswitch info. A generic single button switch will do just fine.

I suspect that the 6 knobers sound a lot better but I've never played one.

The GH, now that is one bad motha although it's probably too 5150, etc for a lot of people.

If you didn't wanna switch channels on the fly, you could also just plug (and unplug) a 1/4" adapter into the jack to switch ch's (emergency trick that works)
