Laney Lionheart L20H + LT212 demo

[Trailer4Yours]

3:43 too much gain for the recording.

[whattheheckisthat12]

I hope they would do another demo detailing the amps tone rather than the player's demo.. Didn't like the way it sounds.. >.>

[marshall2150]

I'd like to hear this amp with some proper guitars - A Strat, a Tele and a Les Paul. I'm none the wiser after watching this vid, with all due respect.

[economuzak]

Can anyone explain what he's doing at 3:13?

[vaistile]

@economuzak harmonic plus hiting the whammy bar

[Magik1369]

Fine tone...great player...wow

[Choji11]

love the riff at 2:03

[ThieleM]

I wish my name was Christophe Godin. 

[JoeRKsChannel]

i wanna no the riff at 1:30!!!

[zundap100]

Laney Lionheart L20H is a fantastic amp. I use it with VOX cab and it sounds delightfully. Actually sounds much better then on this video.

[scottd1984]

G00d Player But Greg K0ch he's n0t......Why Is he trying t0 get a Nu-metal/Aggr0 t0ne 0ut 0f a AC15/30 style amp?

[KHGuitarFreak1988]

@scottd1984 Granted, it's not as gains saturated compared to many of the modern metal amps these days, but it has plenty of gain to replicate even late 80s gain saturation...

[Taygoo15]

maybe it sounds so is because he scooped the mids and cranked the bass. not good on a british type amp

[Taygoo15]

where are these made

[Ajt8000]

@Taygoo15 Britain

[speck444]

the look on your face tells me everything you loved it

[seanmarm]

blakfish use them!

[Andystonemusic]

Nice to hear some jazz for a change!

[malcatron]

I own this setup and use it for gigging classic rock and it is way better sounding than this video shows, the recording is awful - check out proguitarshop videos here on youtube to see how to make a demo - I'd love to see a video of Andy at PGS with the L20H. Godin is obviously a talented player but his style really doesn't highlight this amps strengths, plug in an SG or Les Paul and grind out some classic riffs and this amp will sing!

Come on Laney, do your fine product justice!

[skaterguitar4ever]

what should i get an orange TT or this head

[paule720]

that is one bright colored guitar!

[hendrix184]

i know im gonna get bashed for this but if you put a pedal infront of this how would metal sound in single coils?

[grasshoppius78]

maybe as good as it would sound with humbuckers? do you have a decent distortion pedal and high output pups that would suit metal? all depends on what you want jimmi. a lot of people prefer a class AB amp and humbuckers for metal. but hey, some decent gear and sometimes you can get what you want.

[JRBain7]

@hendrix184 To be honest, I think noise would likely be the biggest issue. It is absolutely true (I would say, anyway), that single coils aren't ideal for that style, but it's surprising what playing convincingly can do. So my verdict is that theoretically, I see no reason why you couldn't give it a go. Besides, once you start using pedals and lots of gain, much of the time the sonic character of pickups is lost anyway. Set the EQ and gain right, add some pedal, and play with some attitude...

[darrenguitar]

its a single channel amp because the way the chanels are cascaded

[6gpower]

I'm sorry, this guy is obviously a good player but no feel or tone worth talking about. The good thing is , I played the 4x10 version @ GGuitars in New Haven Ct today and that amp sounds really good. I am not blown away but i will buy one because it's a good buy and unfortunately the Fender Blues Juniors don't sound as good as they used to. This guy is so amazed with himself it's just disapointing that he has nothing to offer the buy or the ear.

[Nick184]

If it has seperate clean and drive volumes why is it still a one channel amp?

[Diisafatslag]

it is a 2 channel amp.

[dagoelius]

Its Chris from Metal Kartoon!

[classael84]

I think the end sounds like crap; but it's some serious mic clipping. I have a vc-30 and eventually if you drive the power amp that hard you may lose a little definition : D

[salegoogle]

Isn't that a Vigier ?

[benjorino7]

yes it is!

[jks2]

awfull color but vigier guitars are really good.

[s1914]

Wow - Godin is fantastic. Nice amp too. May purchase.

[Kristianeb]

is it possible to get a ac/dc tone out of this amp.. or guns n' roses ?

[grasshoppius78]

I have the 5watt version and think it can. It is a classic rock amp. If you really wanted to get close you would need a JTM/JMP or JCM800 (respectively). Lionhearts are voiced different to the Marshalls but do sound great for what your are asking. Maybe look at Marshalls vintage modern series if you are wanting new stock for rock sounds. Slash is either using them or promoting them.

The mic's line volume into the recorder might be way too high in this demo - hence the muddy tone.

[SlipperyZ0ne]

look at my video and you will find some cover of gnr, ac/dc, van halen using this amp..

[maxlouren]

hello kristian ... i use one of these with a ocd v4 and it sounds amazing ... you can play guns n´ roses , ac/dc ... yes it is a classic rock amp ... max

[Diisafatslag]

Yes

[Diisafatslag]

ah, the dirty channel sounds muddy because hes using high gain on a coil split humbucker.

[treeswallowshouses0]

godin is badass

[cool007boy]

I played on it, and with a maxon808 hangin' before it, the drive sounds way better :o!!!!

[Diisafatslag]

why on high gain does the overdrive channel sound incredibly muddy/fuzzy?

[xsumonia]

lovely amp and the guitar looks mega funky!!

[tchernabyl]

Christophe Godin = Guitar God

[KHGuitarFreak1988]

I own the same setup as this one in the vide essentially, being the 20W head and the matching 2X12 cab. You can definitely achieve some higher gain stuff, enough for hard rock to maybe even old school metal...

As for the Gary Moore tones, it has more to do with playing like Gary Moore. But I would say go for one if you are interested...

[Kristianeb]

can you get a type of ac/dc tone with it ?

[milesillsley]

i love how the setting on the amp show it as being on standby.

[polishbroadcast]

Is 8bit downsampling that the next evolution in tube amps?

[in2mu5ic]

(3) 12-ax7 in the pre stage give you plenty of grind just from the pre. if you can get the volume up then you'll get some added dirt from the power section. the recording at the 4:00ish time spot of this video doesn't do the amp justice. i've got the 1x12 combo(5w) and it's amazing when cranked. the higher gain settings on the pre really sound best with the master up to at least a moderate setting though to get rid of some of the "fizziness" you hear at lower volumes.

[gazuul]

This amp is on my nr.1 for wanted amps atm.

[WeslieJJ94]

Engl E-325 Thunder 50 Head + Engl E-112 V Cabinet 1x12 Vintage30 or Laney L 20 H Lionheart Head 20 Watt, Topteil + Laney LT-2 ??

[Juxtaposed1Nmotion]

i wonder what you went with, but id say you would get more clarity and a much more pure tone out of the L20H simply because the amp is drivin to its optimum operating mode, quicker then the 50watt engl, but straight outta the box the engl will give you more gain, thats for sure.

[WilfridRUN]

Christophe,just the best in France!

[TohNov]

No sorry, il y a patrick rondat !

[blueslefty]

I own this great combination and I am very happy about it. I do not even miss the seperate tone controls for each channel.

The LT212 with its fantastic Celestion Heritage Greenbacks match the L20H perfectly. It is really great after a little breakup time for the speakers.

But I recommend a tube change. V1: JJ ECC803S, V2: Electro Harmonix 12AX7A EH, V3: Tung Sol 12AX7A, Output: Mullard EL84 Reissue (Cryo-version). You will achieve even more warmth, depth, clarity and note definition.
