Guitar & Bass Amplifiers

The right amplifier doesn't just make you louder — it makes you sound like yourself, night after night. Whether you're digging into a Laney tube head's rich harmonic depth or leaning on the road-ready consistency of a solid-state combo, the amps here are chosen with the gigging musician in mind. From compact Ministacks you can toss in the back of a hatchback to 30-watt all-valve UK-built heads that hold their own on any stage, LV Guitars carries options that suit everything from rehearsal rooms to headline slots.

Tube amplifiers remain the gold standard for players who want natural feel under the fingers — that slight compression as you dig in, the way the amp responds to your pick attack rather than fighting it. All-valve designs from Laney's Lionheart and Ironheart lines deliver that tactile, dynamic quality that no specification sheet fully captures; you feel it the moment you play. For bass players, dedicated bass combos with tube and FET hybrid circuits provide the headroom and low-end authority needed to compete on loud stages without losing definition.

Portability and live reliability are just as important as raw tone. Mini-format amps with Bluetooth connectivity give you a practice and recording tool that actually sounds like the amp you gig with, so your muscle memory stays intact. Solid-state and modelling options hold up under punishing touring conditions and deliver consistent results regardless of venue. Scroll through dozens of in-stock options below and find the amp that becomes a permanent part of your live rig.
