LANEY LIONHEART L20T-112

The Lionheart range has been a bit of a sleeper for a few years now, offering seriously great tone for a reasonable outlay. With the return of the line to UK production, this 20-watt combo’s kudos rose a notch higher. The good old-fashioned all-valve tone coaxes rich, girthy clean and crunch tones from a single Celestion G12H-30 driver and a quartet of EL84s in a parallel single-ended power stage. What this layout sacrifices in power it more than makes up in glorious organic Class A tones that are so usable and easy to access at the amp’s output wattage. While the range has attractive head and 2x12 cab options, the focused and portable 1x12 combo is a modern classic.
