Introducing the Laney Lionheart L5T-112, a guitar combo amplifier that is as reliable as it is powerful. Ideal for studio settings or intimate live performances, this amp delivers a warm, rich, all-tube tone that has been the secret weapon of artists like Jeff Beck, Joe Walsh, and Eric Clapton. It's all about achieving that unique low-wattage sound, where the natural tonal breakup serves as a sweet distortion, and the lower volumes truly bring out a warmth that larger amps can't mirror.

At the heart of the L5T-112 are three 12AX7 preamp tubes and a single EL84 output tube. This combination, favored by many, lays a warm tonal foundation that the EL84 tube carries forward, adding its own distinctive color. The result is a full-bodied sound, further amplified by a 12" Celestion Heritage G12H speaker. The amp also features high- and low-impedance 1/4" input jacks to provide a range of tonal options.

This amp isn't just about great sound though, it is also a breeze to use. With passive bass, middle, and treble EQ controls; clean volume, drive, drive volume, reverb, and tone controls, you can shape your sound the way you want. The L5T-112 also has a bright switch for your clean channel and a drive switch for the drive channel, letting you seamlessly switch settings with the included FS2 footswitch.
