L20T-112 combo har samme, høyt respekterte preampdesign, som resten av Lionheart serien. Den består av en ren- og en drivekanal med felles 3 bånds EQ, global reverb og en master tonekontroll. Forsterkeren i L20T-112 er en “20 Watt Class A parallel single-ended EL84” utstyrt utgangsseksjon, for første gang i en Lionheart 1 x 12 combo. Dette gir gitaristen et større headroom og masser av vintage rørlyd i en kompakt innpakning. L20T-112 dekker hele lydspekteret mellom moderne og vintagelyd.
Lionheart represents everything Laney has learned through over forty years of Laney tube heritage, distilled into a single amplifier range. Lionheart amplifiers are designed to provide the ultimate in British made, boutique tone. The evocative sound of power tubes being pushed to their sweet spot at volume levels that are controllable is a major feature. Featuring the purest of designs. The combination of EL84 loaded single ended Class A power stages and premium Celestion and Jensen speakers put this family of amplifiers a class apart from the rest.
The L20T-112 kicks out 20 watts RMS of Class A parallel single ended tone generated by the EL84 loaded output section giving you masses of vintage valve tone in a compact stylish package. It’s snappy vintage style and Class-A sounds means you can’t wait to dive in and see what’s behind this smart façade.
The L20T-112 features a smart, chrome finished control panel which houses the simple pre-amp – Featuring a twin channel layout with independent volume for each channel, passive three band EQ, global tone and reverb.
The combination of EL84 loaded single-ended Class-A power stages and premium Celestion speakers really catapults this amplifier into an altogether different league. No more fixation on pre-amp distortion – with the L20T-112 you can hear the “real” sound of a valve amplifier output stage clipping. The dynamic range of the Lionheart amplifiers expands to fill a much bigger space than you’d ever expect from such low wattage units.
Pushed really hard, the sonic punch and clarity of the Celestion G12H loaded L20T-112 is truly excellent and it’s when the amps are being used like this that you can really hear the differences in this speaker compliment.
Lionhearts can sound either vintage or modern depending on how you use the pre-amp controls – back off the gain, wind up the master and you’re cooking up serious retro tone. Digging in hard produces extra bite, or backing off cleans it all up.
Conversely, wind the drive up and you have gain aplenty, giving you all the harmonic squeals and overtones you’d expect from a modern high-gain amplifier.
The L20T-112 offers serious tone that is often difficult to find in amplifiers costing twice the price Features such as gold plated PCB’s and jack sockets, sealed gold contact relays are used in all signal paths for minimum sound coloration, and each amplifier comes fitted with the renowned “Type 4” large spring line reverb for the classic guitar reverb sound. Each Lionheart L20T-112 features a hand stamped ‘build number’ in the order they come off the Laney production line, and comes with a custom made ‘Lionheart’ dust cover.
Lionhearts are easy to use and most players will get a great tone out of them within seconds.
A modern classic, designed and manufactured with pride, in Great Britain.

To say why I got into the amplifier business I have to go back a long way ...over 40 years! At that time in the 1960's I was playing bass in a series of bands based around the West Midlands area in the UK. This was a very fertile time in music and I had a great time playing at all types of venues. During this period I was still at school (Rock and Roll and schooling are not a good mix!) and several times was found to be asleep in class having returned after some gig, somewhere, usually at 5 or 6am in the morning.
When I was awake though, I had a deep interest in electronics and a fascination for tubes in particular which was stimulated by the amplification requirements to gig at night. It became a logical step to make my own amplifier; partly out of interest but mainly out of economic necessity: Bands did not make a lot of money in those days! However I did find this to be great fun (I still do today). At that time I was playing in a local band, "The Band of Joy" with John Bonham on drums (you never did get over John) and Robert Plant on vocals... Robert always held his own up front despite the racket behind him: Great times. The Band of Joy was a fairly loose band at that time and Robert and John went onto bigger and greater things.
My interest turned more and more to amplifier construction and working at that time in my father's garage, I started to get demand from fellow musicians for amplifiers and started to supplement my meagre wages from playing in bands with amplifier sales... this was a good idea!! Then came the big decision; I had finished my school education and had a place at University reading Electronic Engineering. Two days before I was due to go I decided to carry on for a couple of years making amplifiers, see how it went, and then go back to University later. I suppose now they would call this a "year out"- in those days it was just stupid! Anyhow, 40 years have gone by and I still haven’t made it to University.
Tone: If there is one constant element from the last four decades that is important, it is ‘Tone’: Making amplifiers is a quest to deliver tone to the musician, something that we have started to call ‘The Dark Art’. It is fluid and changes with developments and innovations of technique, instruments and musical style, but look at any musician who hits the sweet spot on tone- usually it is with a narrowing of the eye, a tilt of the head and more than likely a grimace- but they have got their TONE. That’s what we are after. Throughout the following pages you will see the wide range of products now on offer from Laney for all kinds of players at all kinds of levels, but every one of them has been designed and engineered by a Laney team with 40 years experience in the ‘business of tone’.
