Laney Lionheart 212 Combo Amp 20W Class A L20T-212
The Lionheart L20T-212 is built for players who demand authentic Class A tube tone without sacrificing gigging practicality. This 20-watt combo strikes the ideal balance—enough power to cut through a mix on stage, compact enough to load in and out without wearing yourself out. The responsive control layout and dual 12-inch speaker configuration translate your playing dynamics directly into stage presence, with Class A operation ensuring every nuance of your touch reaches the audience immediately.
Tone & Amplification
Built around 3 x 12AX7 and 4 x EL84 tubes in a parallel single-ended Class A configuration, this amp delivers the harmonic richness and natural breakup that only valve tone provides. The twin channel design with passive bass, middle, and treble EQ plus a bite switch and global tone control gives you comprehensive shaping across both channels. High-quality digital reverb and a dedicated FX loop with 1/4" send/return let you integrate your effects seamlessly without coloring the core tone.
Design & Build
The combo pairs a Celestion G12H 70th Anniversary and Vintage 30—two speakers renowned for their clarity and vintage character that sit perfectly in a live mix. At 33.5 kg and 550 x 690 x 300 mm, it's hefty enough to feel road-worthy but still manageable for a single player to transport. Connectivity includes 2 x 1/4" inputs (low and high) and 3 x 1/4" speaker outputs for flexible setup options. The included FS2-mini footswitch gives you remote control during performance, and the custom embroidered slip cover protects your investment in transit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What tubes does the Lionheart L20T-212 use and how do they affect tone?
The amp uses 3 x 12AX7 preamp tubes and 4 x EL84 power tubes in a parallel single-ended Class A configuration. This topology produces the harmonic richness and natural breakup that defines Class A tube tone, with immediate responsiveness to your playing dynamics.
Is this amp suitable for studio recording as well as live performance?
Yes. The 20-watt Class A output, dual Celestion speakers (G12H 70th Anniversary and Vintage 30), FX loop, and digital reverb make it equally capable in the studio or on stage. Its manageable size and weight (33.5 kg) work well in tight recording spaces without sacrificing projection or tone.
What tone styles does this amp work best for?
The Lionheart excels in blues, rock, and studio sessions where warm Class A saturation and articulate midrange are valued. Its natural breakup and responsive dynamics make it less suited for metal or djent styles that require aggressive gain and tight compression.
What speakers are in the 212 combo and what do they contribute?
The combo houses a Celestion G12H 70th Anniversary and a Vintage 30, which together blend clarity with vintage character. This speaker pairing gives you the presence needed for stage projection while maintaining the warm, organic tone the amp is designed around.
What does the package include?
The Lionheart L20T-212 includes the amp, an FS2-mini footswitch for remote control of channels and effects, and a custom embroidered slip cover for protection during transport.
