The Laney Lionheart L20T-112 gives clean and drive a distinctly British voice
A tube combo that invites you to take your attack as seriously as your settings: the Laney Lionheart L20T-112 combines 20 watts with a Celestion G12H 70th Anniversary speaker. Built in the United Kingdom, this guitar amplifier offers two channels for clean and drive, with separate volume controls to blend both sounds. This makes it an interesting choice for guitarists seeking a clear foundation and an overdriven sound within the same amplifier. No extensive menus, but direct controls that allow you to consciously shape your sound.
On the clean channel, open chords and melodic passages are given room. The drive channel offers a different approach for blues phrasing, solid rhythm parts, and singing leads. With the three-band EQ, you determine the balance between bass, middle, and treble, while the Tone control provides an additional way to refine the sound. The Bright switch helps when you want to place more emphasis on clarity. Reverb adds space to dry parts, from a subtle accent on chords to more atmosphere around a melody. The 12-inch Celestion forms a recognizable foundation for the character of this Lionheart.
Three 12AX7 tubes handle the preamp, and four EL84 tubes form the power section. The controls include Clean Volume, Drive, Drive Volume, Bass, Middle, Treble, Reverb, and Tone, with switches for Run/Standby, Bright, and Drive. Via the effects loop, you place external effects between the preamp and power section. In addition to the instrument and footswitch connection, there are connections for an external cabinet of 4 or 16 ohms and the internal 8-ohm speaker. Always match the speaker setup to the correct load. The combo measures 510 x 570 x 260 mm and weighs 21.5 kg. A footswitch and Lionheart cover are included; the tilt mechanism helps with aiming the speaker.
