Laney Cub 10
Hi David, I have just bought a laney Cub 10 and I set it up as per your review with a shure green bullet (tone 2, Vol 5.9 and gain 3.5). Soon as I touched my mic I got some serious feedback.
I had my boss rv6 hooked up as well so I turned that off, but was still getting feedback. I now have it set on Vol 4 gain 2 and tone 2 and a bit. I was also plugged into low output.
I was wondering if you had any idea why the amp would be giving feedback with the same settings as you had?
I am using it in my bedroom but I am about 3 or 4 feet away from the amp. Any idea would be much apreciated, I am hoping it's not from the amp being damaged some way in transit.
Regards
Alan
Thank you David, I tried everything you said, and I went to the opposite side of my bedroom as far away from the amp as I could and I got a little bit of feedback creeping in. So I went out into the hallway and that stopped the howlin'.... but man that amp is loud!! I also have a Fender Mustang V2 and the Laney blows the Fender way out of the water.
Again thank you for your great advice, it is always much appreciated.
Regards
Alan
Hello Alan. Okay... simple answer in this case... you have a hot one, just turn down the amp. Glad you're liking it!

Morning Alan.
I would tend to think it's not from damage in transit.
The first thing I would try is to bypass the RV6. In other words, just plug straight into the amp and see if that makes a difference. Sometimes a pedal will up the line level going into the amp. I would tend to not think so with the RV6, but try it.
Another thing to consider is that I'm very careful where I place my mic. When an amp is loud, we commonly face the mic away from the amp, put our body between the mic and the amp, and when cupping, we bring it to our face right away.
Try these things and see if they help. If not, you might just have a very hot setup (sometimes tubes can be extra gainy), which is fine, it just means your amp gets louder than mine quicker. It also could be that you mic is hooter as well. Again, this is fine.
