Do both amps have the same power and connectivity?
Yes—both deliver 3 watts RMS, include 1/4-inch guitar input, auxiliary input, headphone socket, and LSI smart insert socket with cable. Both are 120 x 173 x 100 mm and weigh 1 kg, running on 6 x AA batteries (not supplied).
Which is better for home recording?
The Supergroup is explicitly positioned for home recording and studio work, with emphasis on articulate tone definition and dual-driver clarity. The Lionheart is marketed primarily for practice and travel, making the Supergroup the more focused choice for recording.
Are either of these suitable for live gigs?
