i can't say. i've never tried those amps you mentioned. bihira ang laney dito sa US. sa mga dealers, puro Solid State yung mga models nila. so when i saw the ad for this i immediately jumped at the opportunity.
initial review:
i haven't had the chance to fully crank this amp up at gig volume except when i tried it in the seller's house. it's a different sounding amp, that's all i can say. it doesn't sound like a marshall, or a mesa, or a fender...meron siyang sarili niyang sound kaya medyo nakakapanibago since most artist recordings use the three amps mentioned above mostly. it has a lot of treble to it but you can dial it out so it's all good. i'm probably gonna end up with some unusual dial settings but yea, the controls are really responsive. mine is setup with 6L6's now but im' about to change soon to a quartet of EL34's (Svetlana's Rule!) and the preamp section is still stock so i'm guessing they're pretty worn out. i like the fact that na magkahiwalay yung preamp ng clean sa preamp ng dirty...so i can say, put a couple of 7025's in the clean then a couple of ecc83's in the dirty amp section. the eq and reverb of the clean and dirty are separate too...and so are the effects loop...for example, you can have a chorus on the clean only and when you switch to dirty, it won't be effected anymore...so that's kinda cool...i can come up with a setup similar to my pedal board's now...
yun lang...
