Chuck	Re: They're on the front. Other than the OT issue, which I think was only a recent problem on a particular model, Laneys have a reputation for being reasonably durable. I do know of one design flaw (though I've never seen one fail). Some models used almost exclusively mechanical grounds (ground tabs screwed into the AL chassis). Due to the reactions associated with dissimilar metals, they are reported to corrode. If yours has mechanical grounds, check them and perhaps snug them up and coat them with that blue varnish stuff (sorry, don't know what it's called). As for the OT issue. I read that it's not a problem with the current models while I was reading about your amp. Chuck
