Hey guys.
Ok i wanted ur advice on something. Im getting a kickass deal on Laney amp Lionheart series (L20T-410 which is combo one and L20H head with LT212 cab). This will be my first tube amplifer. and where i live this is the only thing i can get plus its falling in my budget perfectly. I dunno what to get either the head with cab, which is a bit more expensive than the combo? or the combo one? Link for the site And one more thing will it be worth it, i mean buying it? Anyone pls help? Quicker the better, coz then just close the deal. Thanks for the help is advance

I've looked at this amp since it came out.
I like the looks of the L20T but I'd prefer to own a the L20H + cabinet for one reason only, it's got 12" speakers while the other got 10". So that's what I'd do, oh well there's four of the 10" ones but only two of the 12" but never the same I've had 8x10 and exchanged for 4x12 and the 12" are less responsive but are so much fatter in sound. Hope that helped. -------------------- My bands homepage

QUOTE (bsamn @ Dec 29 2007, 01:32 AM)  Hey MikeM, thanks alot for the help. Just one more thing i wanted to ask you, why is it so pricey? even though its just 20watts, i mean is it a diff kind of output rating than normal watts? and whats the advantage of having cab+head then just having combo. Thanks I belive the price is set a bit on the high side from this amp being class A (four EL84 class A is leaning towards it's at 24W) Then some gold pated stuff inside so this is to be seen as a baron among pesants  Whether it's infact is a baron or not I belive you have to judge.

Well combo is great for carrying around for gigs etc..But I think the head + cab is much more versatile option..You can change cabs(speaker configuration options)...I bought a bass combo amp (that has a separate option same head + cab) and I regret it..I mean its great for gigs to carry around but I now want a different speaker configuration
So If you can , go for the Head + cab option..

Congrats on the new amp! I'd really like a Lionheart too.
The smell is possible from (someone fill in the right word here) inflammable-protection-paste/spray. Smells like the guys locker room or an old music store storageroom. The static electricity in the strings... I've got no clue. They should have no contact with anything electric... beats me.

QUOTE (bsamn @ Dec 29 2007, 04:03 PM) OK now, help me out here. For some reason im getting this weird static shock from the strings. Another thing when i go around the amp i get this weird smell, i mean is that fine is it the smell of the tube. Do you hear electricity noise when you touch the strings ?? That can be caused by bad wiring in guitar , or power socket that is not well grounded... For the smell I don't know..I think its new amp burning up (excess glue , paint , etc) When you buy something new It always smells when you plug it in for the first time Congratulations on a new amp!
