Frequently asked questions
Do either of these work silently with headphones?
Both include a 3.5mm headphone output (Lionheart) or headphone socket (Supergroup) for silent practice. The Lionheart also offers a dedicated 3.5mm auxiliary input for backing tracks alongside the headphone out.
What's the real difference in portability?
The MINI-SUPERG is noticeably smaller and lighter (1kg vs 1.8kg) and fits easier into a gig bag or backpack. Both run on six AA batteries, so either works unplugged; the Lionheart's extra size comes from its stereo speaker pair and delay circuit.
Can I expand either amp with external effects?
Both include an LSI (Laney Smart Insert) socket and supplied cable that lets you patch in external effects pedals or amp modeling units. This is the same interface on each, so expandability is equal.
Which is better for recording at home?
The MINI-ST-LION is better suited to home recording because its stereo output, integrated delay, and richer tone stack add dimension to recordings without external plugins. The MINI-SUPERG works fine but is more minimal in onboard color.
