Filled with "Goldilocks" tube-driven reverb, among other things, the Laney VC30-212 joins Owen in the Gearwire Studio for an innocent romp among the daffodils of tone. It's a good punk rock amp, too, thanks to the big, nasty distortion. It's like a Randy Johnson heater right under the chin, but play it clean (with bright switch or without), and it's as smooth as a Bert Blyleven curveball.
