Laney LV300H 120W Head
Laney · amplifier
The Laney LV300H is a 120-watt hybrid guitar amplifier head pairing a valve preamp stage with solid-state power amplification, the head version of the LV series. It offers three channels covering clean, crunch and lead sounds, giving wide tonal coverage without pedals, and at 120 watts it has substantially more output than the smaller LV combos. Laney has built amplifiers in Birmingham since 1967, and the LV series sits at the accessible end of its range rather than alongside the professional Ironheart and Lionheart lines. It suits practising and semi-professional players who want channel switching and real volume at modest cost.
