Description
Laney Mini Stereo Amp Lionheart Edition MINI-ST-LION
The MINI-ST-LION is a compact solid-state stereo amplifier that delivers surprising punch from its diminutive footprint. At just 1.8kg and measuring 142 x 205 x 100mm, it sits comfortably on a desktop or amp stand without dominating the space, yet produces a full stereo image from its paired 3-inch drivers. The control layout is intuitive and finger-friendly, making real-time adjustments straightforward during practice or performance.
Power & Connectivity
Rated at 2 x 3 watts RMS stereo output, the MINI-ST-LION operates on either six AA batteries or a 12V DC adapter, offering genuine portability for rehearsals, small venues, or silent practice setups. Input options include a standard 1/4-inch guitar jack, 3.5mm auxiliary input for backing tracks or secondary sources, and a 3.5mm headphone output for silent monitoring. The integrated Laney Smart Insert (LSI) interface allows seamless integration with external effects or amp modeling units via the included LSI cable.
Tone & Effects Architecture
Two independent channels—clean and drive—provide textural range, each with dedicated gain controls. The tape-style digital delay with adjustable level adds dimension and space to your signal, while a single tone control shapes the overall character. Full-featured channel controls include gain, drive, level, tone, delay, delay level, and master volume, giving you flexible sculpting across both channels without overwhelming complexity.
