Laney was never on my radar, but I looked at the specs of this amp, checked out a few videos with headphones, but this demo has sold me. There have been times when American companies have done British tones better, and times when British companies absolutely nailed American tones and added a little something extra. This amp is of the latter. It's like a Fender amp with Vox controls and tone shaping, and superb tone the whole way through. This amp reacts in the way I'd expect a true vintage Deluxe Reverb to respond. Amazing.
Not sure if this is too late for you, i got both 5 n 20 watts. 5 watts is already very loud for my 110 square meter apartment with rooms door opened. At volume about 11 o'clock, the sound covered the entired house, loudly i would says.
@@heavymetal11 I appreciate the reply. I got the 5 watt and it is perfect at the 0.5 setting for home playing. I love this amp. Has the perfect clean/crunch Chanel. For more distortion I use the Laney Ti boost and it’s heaven
@@Dito.Gancinidoes your LH5 Studio handle modulation effects well? I’m getting ready to pull the trigger on either the 5 or the 20. I love the recording hardware on the back panel of the 5. But I’m worried about the head room for heavy ambient pedals.
@@anthonyfesta7010 I am extremely satisfied with the Studio 5 . Great cleans for pedals of any kind and the dirty channel gets you super crunchy tones. Get you the Tommy Iommy TI boost and you’ll have some great Black Sabbath tones. While this is only a 5 watt amp it is extremely loud. I usually have it at 0.5 watt
@Woden of the Angles It’s not just you. Their Lionheart series does break up early, however that is by design. If you need lots of very clean headroom at high volume levels, you’ll have to look at some of their other amps that are higher wattage and not Class A.
James Cuddy i would say a lot. It’s my only tube amp so I don’t have anything to compare it with, but this amp is loud! On volume 3 people will hear you anywhere in the house. At full volume, your neighbors will hear you lol. The thing about this amp is that you have to play loud to get good tone. It’s not the most ideal for a practice amp
I suppose you've had this amp for a long time now, so can you tell if this amp is really dark sounding, leck of brightness ? Some people tend to say you can't open its sound. What's your opinion?

@@daveo1708at the time of the first comment they were made in China. Old Laney's were made in England, new Laney's are made in England. There's a time in between when they were not.
Sadly, this sounded so much better in the room, and whoever recorded it, missed all the sparkle. Muted and Veiled with all the life sucked out. Please re-do this! Your playing and what it could sound like deserve better!

I don't usually like so much whammy, but this just sounds dreamy. Beautiful playing
Sounds fantastic! And the playing: WOW!!
I realize it is kinda off topic but does anybody know of a good place to watch newly released movies online?
Great punch and tone even with YT's audio. Nice demo. Would consider this over the bigger names.
Laney is a pretty big Name
love the clean channel for sure !
Wonderful demo 👍🙏😉
wow some beautiful tones there.
A really good and educational review thank you.i think it might be better for me to sell up due to your excellent playing lol !
Great playing
hi, how much clean headroom ?
which one is better in tone. LC50 or Lionheart L20t first verson?
In love with your playing and the amp. Sold it. What mic is this?
Sam!!🙌🙌🙌
Would the L20 be too much for a house playing or the L5 perhaps more suited for that?

Dudes a gun!
You might consider changing the title of the video :)
Yep, they have written 112 in the description and 212 in the title
yap 1X12
Do Laney amps seem to clip early or is it just me?

@@sebidoo69 Okay, interesting. Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to answer that.
I Thought the same thing its not clean longer
I own the Lionheart L20h and the amp is stunning.
How much clean headroom has it got?

@@thebeatclinic680 I totally agree with your statements. L20h owner as well 😊 Never found a better amp than this one!

Are these really made in the UK?
No, the old ones where made in England
@@marcelobelloni8754 Made in England buddy...their are no "old ones"
Since 2021 all Laney production has been moved back to the U.K.

Responsiveness and articulation for days.
Is it loud enough for gigging?
These days 5 watts is load enough for gigging! But yes you'll definitely be competing with a drummer easily with this.
Your playing is fantastic, why are you using that toneless piece of wood??
what, the chair? what's toneless here?
