Laney has been making amps for forty years, and one thing this company wants to change is, according to Laney, the growing lack of power amp distortion. According to the Laney rep, power amp distortion is a rock legacy and should be maintained in spite of changing technologies and the increase of things like plugins and wider use of pre amp distortion. Enter the Lionheart series, with "the holy grail" of guitar sounds; the combination of pre and power amp distortion. The Laney rep has quite a lot to say on the subject, and we get a nice look at a wide range of sizes in the series including the 20-watt L20T twin-channel, and L410 20-watt combo.
