I really love my Laney guitar amp, it sounds great. There’s nothing quite like a valve amp. Being a combo the back is open to allow air to get to the valves. I decided to build a baffle to part enclose the back of the amp to push air more out of the front and see if that had a positive effect on the tone. I’d recently upgraded the speak to a Celestion vintage 30 and replaced the stock valves with a set of JJ’s. It was a really simple process with a piece of 18mm ply and I finished it off with some self adhesive vinyl. Wow it made a difference and I’m really glad I did it.
