Description
Laney Mini Stereo Amp with Bluetooth Lionheart MINI-STB-LION
The Laney Mini Stereo Amp Lionheart brings reference-quality monitoring and guitar tracking into compact home-studio setups. At just 1 kg (2.2 lb) and measuring 205 x 142 x 100 mm, this battery-powered reference monitor fits on a desktop, stands beside a drum kit, or sits in the control room for headphone-free listening. Its dual drivers generate a full stereo soundfield with genuine tonal character—ideal for tracking guitars, monitoring playback, or evaluating mixes in untreated rooms where full-range accuracy matters more than headphone isolation.
Studio-Ready Monitoring
Running on six AA batteries, the MINI-STB-LION operates independently during recording sessions, field recordings, or mobile production work without tethering to AC power. The 6-watt output and 2 x 3" full range drivers deliver clean, controlled volume suitable for nearfield monitoring or as a secondary reference in tracking rooms, while the stereo configuration creates a proper soundstage for evaluating stereo width and phase relationships in recorded material.
Recording Workflow & Signal Routing
Two distinct channels—Clean and Drive—each with independent gain, tone, and volume controls enable fast A/B comparison of amp characters during guitar and bass tracking sessions. Bluetooth wireless connectivity streams playback or backing tracks from a DAW, controller, or mobile device directly into the amp for hands-free overdub monitoring. Traditional inputs accommodate guitar jack, auxiliary sources, and headphone socket integration, while the onboard tape-style digital delay with level control adds spacious character for tracking or monitoring without cluttering the dry signal path.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in the box, and what batteries do I need?
The amp runs on six AA batteries and includes Bluetooth connectivity, two channels with independent controls, onboard tape-style delay, and inputs for guitar, aux (smartphones/tablets), and headphones. You'll need to supply the six AA batteries separately.
Is this loud enough for gigging or live performance?
At 6 watts with 2 x 3-inch drivers, this amp is designed for bedroom practice, busking, home recording, and intimate spaces—not for full band gigging or high-volume venues. It's best suited for personal monitoring, unplugged busking, or studio use.
How long do the batteries last, and can I use it while charging?
The description does not specify battery runtime. The amp is battery-powered only—there is no AC adapter option mentioned in the specs.
Does the stereo output require two guitars or two separate sound sources?
No; the stereo width comes from the amp's dual 3-inch drivers and onboard effects like the tape-style delay, which create a stereo soundfield from a single instrument or audio input.
What makes this different from other mini amps like the Orange Crush Mini or Vox Pathfinder?
The Laney Mini Stereo combines battery power with genuine stereo output through dual drivers, tape-style delay character, and Bluetooth connectivity—offering portable desktop or lap-play versatility comparable to the Orange Crush Mini and Boss Cube Street EX, with Laney's clean and drive voicing.
