The L20H’s overall tone control can be used to great effect. For example, you could add more sparkle to a humbucker tone, or take off some of the high end from a biting single coil tone.
The L20H offers serious tone that is often difficult to find in amplifiers costing twice the price Features such as gold plated PCB’s and jack sockets, sealed gold contact relays are used in all signal paths for minimum sound coloration, and each amplifier comes fitted with the renowned “Type 4” large spring line reverb for the classic guitar reverb sound. Each Lionheart L20H features a hand stamped ‘build number’ in the order they come off the Laney production line, and comes with a custom made ‘Lionheart’ dust cover.
