Laney Lionheart

[Lev]

Saw this reviewed in this months Guitarist magazine - got a 5 star rating. Looks and sounds kinda gorgeous - check out the sound samples on Laneys website.. Serious GAS but €900 for a 5w combo?

I saw those posted on Musican's Friend recently and was also surprised by the price. There's also a 20 watt 4 x 10 combo and 20 watt head they are making.

Looks like an awesome amp, but I agree the price is a bit outrageous.

Oohh, that is pricey. I'd love to try one though! Sounds good.

Guys, are we talking about the same amp?

I don't think 700 euros are that much. There is no "euro per watt" issue here. A 5 watt amp doesn't cost so much less than a 20 watt one, esp. if you use top notch parts.

These are true "vintage style" class-A amps. They are not for everyone I suppose but they have their own character. For better or worse, we have to pay a bit more for exclusive items.

I find the 20watt version more interesting though. A friend of mine is getting a 20 watt head soon, I'll ask him for comments.

In the meantime, Lev, could you please scan the magazine review, or provide a link to the text, if possible?

Wow, this is where I did my price check

The price you found makes it much more attractive...
I'll try scan in the review over the next couple of days.

Thanks Lev!

This store has good prices on several amps as well as some effects processors, etc. Don't know how they do it! (no affiliation of course).

Waiting on the scans, thank you!
