Laney AUDIOHUB Series AH40 - Multi-Input Combo Amp - 40W - 8 inch Woofer Black

I purchased this item to use with an electronic drum kit purely for home practice and it does the job brilliantly.The item arrived two days before the expected delivery date so that was a big plus straight away.The cabinet is solid and finished in carpet and a metal grill as with many other monitors and the build quality was what you would expect from Laney. It is robust and could easily be transported from gig to gig if you needed to, (although this was bought as a practice amp). The controls are fairly sturdy but being used to Marshalls for my guitars, they do seem less robust, however, I do not envisage them causing any issues.The sound is clear and well balanced and can be adjusted using the small equaliser on the front panel. It has more than enough power to use at home, I doubt that this will ever get above 4 but I would prefer to have something in reserve rather than crank a less powerful amp to the max. I also picked this model in order that I had the flexibility for other uses, for example, as an instrument monitor, vocal monitor or bass amp, a task which it does pretty well although I wouldn't use it as a guitar amp, except perhaps for an acoustic/electric acoustic.. You can plug an external music source into it for jamming along to which is useful. There is also a headphone socket also a headphone socket should you need it. It is very versatile.There are cheaper models available, but for the quality of a named brand, I would always prefer to spend that little extra as it pays dividends in the long run. This amp is great value for money.

Having recently gigged with this I feel strongly inclined to offer a review.It is an absolute work horse.I play individually and as part of a two piece band. Bare in mind I work in experimental melodic noise, and the band is post industrial spook-art/noise, so the stability and fidelity of sound from this amp was truly tested.We had mic with fx one channel, fretless bass another, laptop input, fx laden guitar on another and electronics through another. We ran a 300w speaker from it... There was complete and balanced sound, totally even stereo and didn't need to raise master volume above a quarter for a large gallery sized space.It really is a beautiful piece of kit. Solid. Well made. Easy use. Seriously excellent amp that would work for any gigging musician regardless of genre.(ps, yes I did turn it up full in rehearsal... It is LOUD and honest.)

It’s super loud. It’s great to control the effects on individual channels. I like it a lot. The dials to change the levels seem a bit shit quality. The buttons/dials are a bit cheapo. Otherwise I’m happy with it. After using it for my piano practice for 5 minutes the neighbours upstairs complained when I had it on like 5% volume hahaha. That tells you it’s loud enough :-DI think this would be good for a small band of a few people who haven’t invested in a PA and mixer yet. Like for example a piano and a couple of vocals or something. Could be good for band practice when you can’t be bothered to set up a big PA system. Could be ok for small gigs. I was thinking of using it for practice at home and then as a monitor if I have a chance to gig with others.Decent at a fair price. One of the only amps I’ve seen where you can control the effects on individual channels which is great if you want instrument and vocals (wet/dry sound combinations)

Really good home drum monitor. I bought it based on customer reviews and I am glad I did. I replaced from a Stagg monitor which broke down after a few years. You can connect iPods/iPhones for music to play along side while practicing. The equalisers are quite sensitive and I would not mess around with them much as the sound distorted on higher volume. Volume is fantastic and I could not even put it to half way as it was really loud for a room. I had the my drum kit volume at full and the channel volume at 75% and the master volume at 35% and even then it sounds fantastic and clear. There is a quite hum when its just switched on idle but you soon don't notice it. The built quality is above average but the knobs are on a bit flimsy side. Overall very happy with the product and packaging.

the difference between listening on headphones (tone wise) and output from amp is dramatic. Yes i know there will be a difference but I was disappointed. The controls are delicate and open to being damaged . The shape is good giving a good sound delivery.

The simplest way to run lots of stuff to one place. Great sound. can handle high and low frequency's well. The equaliser only needs minimum tweaking. Highly recommended for multi instrumentalists' looking for one amp to do all (at the same time.) It's nicely basic, the AH 40 has no built in effects, which is what I wanted! Really good for practice, home or monitor! I wish I had found one of these years ago.

I am no audiophile, but this seems a lovely item. Sound is excellent to my ears at least, and it’s simple and easy to set up and use. Quality seems lovely. Highly recommended.

I'm very glad I bought this particular model. Because of its shape, it can sit upright or lean back as a wedge type monitor. It is plenty loud enough for my keyboard needs and, the best thing of all, it is comfortably light to carry.
