We started with a question “What if you could distill all that raw tube tone and dynamism into affordable, portable analogue designs packed with great tones and useful features?”
Would it be possible to create combo that sound as inspiring as their tube-derived family members?
The answer - Yes! Please welcome the LIONHEART Foundry Series.
The FOUNDRY Series takes the power, dynamism and response of our acclaimed tube amp ranges and forges them into creative, aIordable, high-quality solid-state amplifiers that are practical, feature-laden, portable and a lot of fun!
Following the huge success of our award-winning IRONHEART FOUNDRY amps, we now proudly present a range of LIONHEART FOUNDRY Guitar combos.
The LFSUPER60-112 meticulously developed and proudly crafted by our Black Country Customs team, in the UK, gives you ample clean headroom, everyone loves the clean tones of the tube LIONHEARTs, so we wanted to preserve that, whilst adding the potential for very hot lead tones too.
ALL-TUBE TOPOLOGY
The starting point was mapping the complete all- tube topology of our award-winning LIONHEART range into this analogue amp. It's not just about mimicking specific tones like some of the modeller amp products out there but replicating the truly dynamic interactive feel and touch sensitivity that makes a great tube amp so expressive and addictive to play.
The critical sections like the tone stack, EQ circuits, and gain stage were faithfully converted using discrete analogue components precisely tuned to match the response characteristics.
DUAL CHANNEL
The LFSUPER60-112 is a dual channel all analogue 60-Watt guitar combo, packed full of additional features.
ONBOARD FX
Not only does it deliver the same pristine cleans, warm overdrive and wide tonal palette of the tube driven LIONHEARTS, it boasts built-in FX too
VINTAGE TREMOLO
Our exclusive built-in tremolo effect pays homage to mid 1960s tremolo circuits found in classic vintage tube amps. Whether you’re looking for that ‘far out’ surf sound, or a brooding, pulsating Portishead vibe. You’ll definitely fall in love with this classy and alternative effect, we certainly have!
SPIRAL CHORUS AND MODULATION
Based on our much-revered Black Country Customs Spiral Array Chorus stomp box – as used by Andy Timmons - the Spiral Chorus and Modulation offers up a vibe that does everything from subtle chorus right through to “down a drainpipe” flanging.
SECRET PATH SPRING REVERB
It wouldn’t be a LIONHEART without a beautiful reverb. So, we’ve included the Black Country Customs Secret Path Spring reverb algorithm. This stunning reverb has been winning hearts all over the World since we released the pedal in 2019 and is now a firm favourite among artists such as Lari Basilio, Tom Quayle, and many others.
IT’S ALL ABOUT THE BOOST.
The LFSUPER60-112 features a built-in, footswitchable BOOST. This provides almost a 3rd channel, allowing you to push a clean tone into slight overdrive, or an overdriven tone into a searing lead.
FLEXIBLE SWITCHING
The LFSUPER60-212 combo features flexible switching capability. Allowing for the channels to be switched, the BOOST to be engaged and for control over the FX and Reverb on this SUPER 60 combo.
EQ OPTIONS
In addition to a passive 3 band tone stack, it wouldn’t be a LIONHEART without an overall tone control. This acts like the tone control on a guitar, allowing for quick and powerful changes to your overall EQ…But that’s not all. We’ve enhanced the LIONHEART bright switch with an extra ‘Dark’ setting giving you even greater control over your tone.
We’ve enhanced the LIONHEART bright switch option by adding an additional ‘Dark’ setting on the Channel 2 giving you even greater control over your tone.
THE SECRET OF ANY GREAT GUITAR COMBO IS ITS DRIVER.
The speaker guru’s at HH Acoustics painstakingly designed the LF60-112’s H1260 driver, in the UK. Designed to deliver classic tones with remarkable precision.
Designed to deliver classic tones with remarkable precision.
Its meticulous design authentically translates the expressive nuances and harmonic complexity coming from the amp, just like a finely balanced tube amp into a quality cab would. The HH1260 driver ensures that every note you play is faithfully reproduced, from the cleanest of cleans to the grittiest, saturated overdrives.
POWER MODE
Dial the output section back from MAX output to less than 1W to keep all of the tone, making it great for practice at home.
CONNECTIVITY
High-quality effects loop for connecting your favourite post pre-amp FX pedals/units, just like the Tube driven LIONHEARTS.
LA•IR EQUIPPED
We’ve also included our new Impulse Response technology, LA·IR, Laney Advance Impulse Response technology.
We used remarkably high resolution 56-bit FIR filters to ensure all the complex dynamics, low-end punch, and chiselled highs translated with zero compromises.
We’ve carefully captured our legendary Laney GS112 and GS412 cabinets, in-house, to ensure they perfectly match the Foundry LIONHEARTs, and the LA·IR offers them up to you at the flick of a switch. These bespoke Built-In IRs allow you to send the perfect cabinet output option direct to the PA without the need to mic, all via the XLR DI OUT.
This makes the LFSUPER60-112 an ideal recording amp too, of course.
At just 11.5kg/25.4lb, the LFSUPER60-112 is a compact and portable combo packing a whopping 60 Watts. More than capable for live performance.
Simple, straight ahead GREAT TONE, no need to read the manual, no messing around with an APP, no squinting at a screen. Just time spent doing what you love... playing guitar!
THE LFSUPER60-112 EVERYTHING YOU NEED. NOTHING YOU DON’T.
