This is one heck of an amp! Not many reviews on this one, but I think it sounds better than the 5 watt Lionheart. (I own one of those, too.) I own a 70's Marshall 212 tube combo, and a 91 Fender Custom Vibrolux-Reverb, and the Lionhearts are right up there with them in terms of quality sound. It is a very expressive/dynamic amp. Vert lovely clean tones. There are seperate low, mid, and treble controls, but the tone knob at the end of the signal chain can really change things up. If you try this amp and don't like it, you either don't have an ear for great tube tone, or you're a metal-head, which this amp won't do without a pedal.

Nice footswitch. I gave it a 9 because it doesn't have vibrato, which would have been nice.

You don't even need to read the manual.

I sent two back before receiving a keeper. It seems I was sent a couple of customer returns, as the first two was missing the bubblewrap on the amp, and the piece of cardboard that goes directly on top of the amp while in the box. All the trouble was worth it. This is a dream of an amp! I would never sell it!

At the price they are now, they are a steal! Boutique quality for less than a grand!

Hohner is the distributor here in the states. I needed a new handle for my 5 Watter, and they sent me a free one right away. They were great!

This amp is a work of art! I need an ATA case!

I have played Laney amps in the "old days" and found them to be great for playing The Blues. Pushing 20 watts through 4 - 10's I am sure it would be great for playing "regular gigs" in clubs but at almost 70 pounds I think I would pass on having to lug this amp around. A Deluxe Reverb will fill a small club and doesn't weigh so much.
