Description
Laney Mini Stereo Amp Lionheart Edition MINI-ST-LION
The MINI-ST-LION is a compact solid-state stereo amplifier that delivers surprising punch from its diminutive footprint. At just 1.8kg and measuring 142 x 205 x 100mm, it integrates seamlessly into home-studio setups, bedroom sessions, or mobile recording rigs without consuming valuable desk real estate, yet produces a full stereo image from its paired 3-inch drivers. The control layout is intuitive and finger-friendly, making real-time adjustments straightforward during tracking or overdubs.
Power & Connectivity
Rated at 2 x 3 watts RMS stereo output, the MINI-ST-LION operates on either six AA batteries or a 12V DC adapter, enabling flexible placement and silent recording setups. Input options include a standard 1/4-inch guitar jack, 3.5mm auxiliary input for reference tracks or secondary sources, and a 3.5mm headphone output for isolated monitoring during takes. The integrated Laney Smart Insert (LSI) interface allows seamless integration with external effects or amp modeling units via the included LSI cable, opening direct pathways to your DAW or outboard processing chain.
Tone & Effects Architecture
Two independent channels—clean and drive—provide textural range for layering and overdubbing, each with dedicated gain controls. The tape-style digital delay with adjustable level adds dimension and spatial depth to guitar tones within a mix context, while a single tone control shapes overall character. Full-featured channel controls include gain, drive, level, tone, delay, delay level, and master volume, giving you flexible sculpting across both channels without overwhelming complexity during session work.
