Laney VC15 - Drive preset

Verified · 88/100 confidence. Complete schematic. All component values readable. Parameters derived directly from the circuit.

The Laney VC15 is a 15-watt all-tube combo from Laney's VC (valve combo) range, voiced for a vintage British EL84 sound at low power. Two ECC83s form the preamp, with a Bright switch, treble, bass and middle, and a relay-switched extra gain stage for footswitchable drive. An op-amp spring reverb and effects loop follow, and an ECC83 phase inverter with a post-EQ Tone control drives a cathode-biased pair of EL84s.
