Laney · amplifier
The Laney Lionheart Tom Quayle Loudpedal is a signature 60-watt, 2-channel amplifier-in-a-pedal developed with guitarist Tom Quayle, part of Laney's Black Country Customs boutique sub-line. It packs a full tube-driven amplifier circuit into a pedalboard-friendly enclosure, letting players drive a separate speaker cabinet or FRFR system directly from a compact pedal-format unit rather than a traditional head or combo.
