Laney Lionheart L5T-112 Guitar Amp Combo
The Lionheart L5T-112 is a compact, hand-built Class A combo that delivers articulate tone at conversation levels. Its 5-watt single-ended output and EL84 power tube produce the responsiveness and natural breakup characteristic of vintage British designs, making it equally at home in the studio, rehearsal space, or small venue.
Tone & Circuitry
This amp employs three ECC83 preamp tubes and one EL84 output tube, all hand-selected for consistency and reliability. Dual channels—Clean and Drive—each feature passive Bass, Middle, and Treble EQ plus a Bright Switch for added presence when needed. Built-in reverb and FX loop provide depth and flexibility without compromising the amp's core Class A character.

Construction centers on marine-grade plywood fitted with a leather strap handle and retro banding for durability and portability. The amp features gold-plated PCB traces and jack sockets to ensure long-term reliability. Speaker connections offer both 4-ohm and 8-ohm impedance options via three jacks, and dual inputs—Hi and Lo—accommodate various signal levels.

At a Glance
The Laney Lionheart L5T-112 is a 5-watt single-ended Class-A combo perfect for tracking blues, rock, and indie sessions where organic power-tube breakup and harmonic richness matter. Its touch-sensitive response and clean-to-driven tonal range capture articulate cleans and warm, even-harmonic drive—great for layering and overdubs—while the included reverb adds dimension to recordings. The compact footprint and built-in tilt-back design work well in home studios where space is limited, and its 4/8-ohm speaker connections offer flexibility with mic placement and re-amping.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Class-A single-ended circuitry sound different from other amps?
Single-ended Class-A uses one EL84 output valve and produces more even-order harmonics when driven, creating the warm, rich tone associated with classic valve amps. This design also gives less output power than push-pull circuits but delivers superior tonal character and response to your playing touch.
How responsive is this amp to picking dynamics and guitar volume control?
The L5T-112 is highly responsive to both pick attack and guitar volume knob adjustments. Pick harder and the amp breaks up more; pick lighter and it cleans up. Rolling back your guitar's volume will completely clean the tone, making it ideal for players who rely on dynamic control during a performance or session.
What speakers and reverb are included?
The combo features a 1x12-inch Celestion Heritage G12H speaker and a renowned Type 4 large spring line reverb for classic guitar reverb character. The amplifier comes with a footswitch (FS2) and custom embroidered dust cover.
Is this amp suitable for metal or high-gain styles?
No, the L5T-112 is designed for blues, rock, classic rock, and indie styles where natural Class-A breakup and touch sensitivity are priorities. It is not built for metal or djent applications.
What impedance options does it have, and can it work in different setups?
The amp has 2x speaker jacks with 4 and 8 ohm impedance options, allowing flexibility for different speaker configurations and re-amping scenarios. Its compact size and tilt-back mechanism also make it suitable for both stage and studio use.
