I used a VH100R for years, and it was probably the most versatile amp I've ever owned.

Laney are great... and Paul Gilbert loves 'em.

When boutique amps are reviewed (a cornford harlequin for example) they pretty much always say the laney 15w job is almost as good and a fraction of the cost.

I've never used that model, but Laney amps are cool, and I doubt you'll regret it.
