Laney Lionheart L5T112 Guitar Combo Amplifier (5 Watts, 1x12")

This Laney Lionheart combo amplifier pushes 5 watts of Class A tube power out of a Celestion Heritage G12H speaker, for crisp cleans and creamy overdrive.

The Laney Lionheart L5T112 guitar combo amplifier is your trusty friend in studio settings or smaller venue scenarios. Making the most of 5 watts of power, this alluringly warm amp projects intoxicating swirls of all-tube tone. The L5T112 features three 12AX7 preamp tubes; one EL84 output tube; passive bass, middle and treble EQ controls; high- and low-impedance 1/4" input jacks; clean volume, drive, drive volume, reverb, and tone controls; a bright switch for your clean channel, and a drive switch for drive channel. Built with marine-grade plywood, the cabinet half of this mighty little combo houses an articulate 12" Celestion Heritage G12H speaker, and there's a tilt-back bracket on the bottom so you can project this amp's sound up and out. Plug into this sweet Laney combo, and you'll get a taste of some of the inimitable tones associated with low-wattage amps.

The Sonic Advantage of Lower Wattage

Regarding tone, amps with lower wattages are in a whole tier of their own. Jeff Beck, Joe Walsh, Eric Clapton, Steve Cropper, and Neil Young are some prime examples of guitarists famously taking advantage of the sound these kinds of amps have to offer. The tonal breakup of your signal when you push your Laney Lionheart L5T112 combo amp is a great way to get some cool distortion, and when you keep things nice and low, you'll really feel the warmth that high-wattage amps simply can't replicate. This amp also features high-impedance and low-impedance input jacks to give you more read more tonal options. Pick the one that sounds better for your instrument!

Three-Band EQ and Simple Control Layout

The L5T112 gives you all the must-have knobs to play with: passive bass, middle and treble EQ, clean volume, drive, drive volume, and tone controls. This combo amp also has onboard "Type 4" large spring reverb and a reverb control knob to add some cool atmospheric space to your sound. There's also a bright switch for your clean channel and a drive switch for your drive channel. Your included FS2 footswitch will make switching settings seamless and easy.

The Classic Sound of 12AX7 and EL84 Tubes

This little Laney Lionheart comes loaded with an EL84 output and three 12AX7 preamp tubes. It's the combination of low wattage settings and these hot tubes being pushed through your 12" Celestion Heritage G12H speaker, that gives you a beautiful full-bodied sound. Your three 12AX7 tubes -- the most commonly used tubes in tube amps -- lay the warm tonal foundation for your signal, and your one EL84 output tube adds a final touch of color before you signal breaks out into the room. Using these two types of tubes in combination is very common for a reason, and once you fire up your Laney Lionheart L5T112, you'll understand why.

Cool Retro Outfit

With sweet tones come cool threads. Your Laney Lionheart L5T112 is dressed in a sleek retro outfit, featuring a fashionable banding strip, a secure leather strap handle, and a folding tilt mechanism. You'll look as great as you sound standing next to this wonderful low-watt factory of tone.

This is the tops. 5 watts just does not do it justice. Powerful, yet oh so much tone!! It can give you all the dialed in tones. Pedals in front or not this amp does it all. Reactive to pick attack is an understatement, I have not experienced such a sensitive amp. Laney has this one just right. I own Mashalls (JTM 45 and TSL 60), Fender pro reverb, and Blackstar (which is nice sounding) but the Laney is just the Go To amplifier. You wion't be disappointed, go for it!!
