Laney LX 10W Electric Guitar Combo Amp 1x5 with Drive LX10 BK
Description
Laney LX10 BK 10W Electric Guitar Combo Amp
The Laney LX10 BK is a compact, lightweight combo amp that delivers genuine tube-driven tone in a package small enough to carry one-handed. This 10-watt head-and-cab configuration prioritizes portability without sacrificing the responsive dynamics and natural breakup that define Laney's sound character. Built for gigging musicians, studio players, and anyone who refuses to compromise on tone for the sake of mobility, it cuts through a live mix and responds authentically to your playing dynamics.
Tone & Performance
The single-channel design centers around a Drive switch that toggles between clean and driven voicings, letting you access everything from articulate rhythm tones to saturated lead textures on the fly—no need for footswitches or channel switching during a set. A 2-band EQ (bass and treble) gives you the essential shaping tools to dial in your sound across different rooms and venues, while the 1 x 5" custom driver reproduces frequencies with clarity and punch, punching above its weight on stage or in the room.
Connectivity & Practicality
Beyond the single jack input for your guitar, the CD/MP3 input allows you to practice over backing tracks or recordings through the same amplified signal path. A headphone socket (mini jack) lets you practice silently without disturbing others, and the amp's 120v power requirement makes it compatible with standard household outlets worldwide, so you can rehearse or gig almost anywhere.
