Frequently Asked Questions
What's included and what do I need to buy separately?
The Mini-Lion ships with the amp, an LSI cable, a headphone socket, and an auxiliary input—but batteries (6 x AA) are not included. You'll need to supply your own AA batteries to power it, plus a standard 1/4" guitar cable.
Can I use this for small gigs or open mics?
No; this amp is rated for practice and home recording only. At 3 watts with a single 3-inch driver, it lacks the output and projection for live performance or gigging venues. It's built for personal practice and bedroom use.
How does the LSI (Laney Smart Insert) work, and will it help my workflow?
The LSI is Laney's digital insertion system that lets you integrate external effects or studio outboard gear into the signal chain via the included cable. It's particularly useful in a home-studio setting for adding compression, reverb, or tone-shaping tools without permanent connections.
What are the main controls, and is this easy to dial in?
Each of the two channels (clean and drive) has gain and volume controls, plus a shared tone knob for simple EQ shaping. The straightforward layout makes it quick to dial in your tone—ideal for practice and sketching without menu diving.
Can I play along to backing tracks or drums?
Yes; the auxiliary input accepts a line-level signal from a phone, tablet, or DAW, so you can play guitar over drums, backing tracks, or play-along apps while using the headphone socket to monitor everything silently.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
We collect sales tax only on orders shipped to California. Orders shipped to any other US state are charged $0 sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. Marketplaces such as eBay, Reverb and Amazon collect sales tax in nearly every state as marketplace facilitators no matter who the seller is, so the same item at the same price costs less bought direct. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included. Some states ask buyers to self-report use tax on out-of-state purchases.
