    Plus with enough gain for contemporary tones, it also has a mean, spiteful side to it as well – making it ideal for any style of playing. Utilising 5 EL34 output tubes, the L50H provides pure Class A tone at high volume levels. Combined with a Laney Lionheart L412 cabinet, the sound will blow you away.
  • Page 9 The new L50H uses well proven preamplifier topology from the existing Lionheart range. However the output stage and power supply are totally new and original to Laney. The design was evolved in-house from the basics of ideal guitar amplification regardless of cost or technology/material barriers.

  • Page 16 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS TUBE AMPLIFIER SURVIVAL TIPS Tube amplifiers generally sound much warmer/sweeter than solid state transistor amplifiers but they also need a little more respect due to the fragile glass tubes. The L50H uses three 12AX7 preamp tubes, and five EL34 output tubes which should give you years of trouble free service, however like all tube amps; it is important to treat it with a certain amount of care.
