Up for sale is an exceptionally clean, highly original Laney Pro-Tube AOR Series 30 30-watt valve combo amplifier. Made in England during the late 1980s (Serial No. 3751), this unit sits in a sought-after transitional phase, featuring the ultra-rugged Series II metal mesh grille and solid faceplate architecture alongside the classic round push-pull control knobs. These British-made amps are legendary "sleeper" units, widely celebrated as the ultimate budget-friendly alternative to a vintage Marshall JCM800. Thanks to its cascading gain stages and highly interactive EQ, it effortlessly delivers everything from warm British blues crunch to thick, heavy stoner rock and doom metal wall-of-sound tones.
Speaker & Internal Details:
- Original 1x12" Fane Speaker: This combo is equipped with its original, factory-installed vintage British Fane speaker (made in West Yorkshire). It is in perfect cosmetic shape, sounds fantastic, and preserves the authentic vintage voice of the amp.
- Reverb Tank: The original spring reverb tank is securely housed in its factory-original bright yellow vinyl protective pouch at the bottom of the cabinet.
Condition & Visuals:
- Cosmetics: Exceptional condition for its age. The original black elephant Tolex is in stellar shape with no major rips or peeling. The heavy-duty plastic corner protectors are entirely intact, the original handle is sturdy, and the metal mesh front grille is completely straight without any denting.
- Control Panel: The brushed faceplate graphics are crisp and clean. All original factory plastic knobs remain present.
- Rear Panel: Features a dedicated effects loop, D.I. output, foot-switch jack, and the original hardwired internal speaker link running into the correct 8-ohm load output.
