Finally sold my Laney Lionheart L20H and matching 2x12 cab after 10 years of having it.
It proved to be super reliable, never once needed work done to it, and always sounded great, even non-guitarists would comment on how it sounded good.
It had been superseded by my MJW Roadstar Twin, which is, in fairness, better than it in every way (build quality, sound quality, clean channel, drive channel, separate EQ for each channel, much better reverb and effects loop etc), but I will miss the old Laney.
Managed to only lost £150 in 10 years of ownership, so can't complain.
So long Laney, and hopefully your next owner gets as much use and enjoyment as I have!

Just then, don't be coming back whining in a couple of months about "wish I'd never sold it..." cos will be a collective sigh!
Both playing time and storage space are limited, so it just didn't seem sensible to have a fairly large amp sitting under the dust cover not getting used (any playing time I have it's straight to the MJW).
I'm not usually sentimental over gear, but although I've changed quite a few amps over the years, this has been the one that's been my main amp since university.
Just checked the receipt, bought it on the 9th of January 2008! I paid the princely sum of £550 for it.
I'm not getting an L20H, but I have a Lionheart L5 Studio head incoming.
I've a Matamp 1x12 cab sitting without a head, and have been looking for something small, relatively inexpensive, low power and good sounding, so in the end the lower power version of what I already had was irresistible.
Can't wait. I've also owned an Ironheart Studio so I know the reverb and effects loop both work well, and the ability to use it with no cab and just headphones is an advantage too
