The Laney PRISM P20 Guitar Amplifier Combo follows the Laney philosophy in Digital amp design. The PRISM P20 features a logically laid out pre amp which gives you clear access to everything you need. The left hand side of the Laney PRISM P35 houses the AMP settings and the mode selection switches and onboard tuner, the centre of the pre amp features the conventional amplifier controls and the right hand side of the pre amp is devoted to handling the effects side of things and the overall master volume control. The Laney P20 generates 15 watts RMS output and houses an 8" Custom Driver. Round the back of the unit the rear panel houses an extension speaker out, a phones / record out socket and the FS2 and FS1 footswitch sockets to enable foot switching of the user channels. The top of the unit is finished off with a very stylish moulded handle. The P20 can be used in one of two modes - HERO & LIVE. HERO mode comes pre-loaded with 11 inspirational guitar tones from "Clean to Extreme" which take their inspiration from the different amp and effects combinations used on classic guitar recordings. In LIVE mode the P20's controls function like a conventional amplifier, but with the cool feature of being able to use one of the 11 different AMP settings as a starting point for producing your own tone. Simply select the AMP mode you want, adjust the controls to suit and the add the effects you want and then store the end result to one of the four user channels, simply holding the desired channel button for 2 seconds.
